What people say about us!

Sir, the advance information flashed in the whispersinthecorridor is 100% authentic. But, information relating to the Central Secretariat Service viz. stagnation, promotion, etc. is not figuring. Do flash our case also, as we the poor mortals do not have any godfather.

Gujarat Bureaucracy Means Business (8)
Whispersinthecorridors.com's Business Editor Abul Hasan visited Gujarat Secretariat in Gandhi Nagar the other day and what he saw was unbelievable. He shares some of the unforgettable moments of his visit.

SJ Haider : And he has done it again. Deft in handling any department wherever posted, Haider's innovative efforts have this time saw a successful seminar 'Cinematic Tourism - The Way Forward' held at Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar as a part of pre-event series of Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2017. An adept, alert and innovative 1991 batch IAS officer who renders everyone speechless with his amazingly ground breaking schemes and power- packed presentations has in his earlier posting been credited with successfully organizing the 18th e-governance conference that was so impressive that Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted on it instantly. Conducted by Tourism Corporation of Gujarat Ltd., as many as 20 Memorandums of Understanding(MoUs) were signed during the seminar. They included development of theme park, amusement park, hotel, ropeway project, tourism in Polo, post production studio, miniature project Adalaj, water park project, floating restaurant etc. Two coffee table books Glimpses of Cinematic Gujarat - Bioscope and Gujarat Animation Treasure Trove were launched on the occasion. Among those who were present in this seminar were Chief Minister of Gujarat Vijaybahi R Rupani. Dy. CM Nitin Bhai Patel, Tourism Minister, Ganpatbahi Vastabhai Vasava, Kamleshbhai Patel-Chairman GTCL, Principal Secretary Tourism S J Haider and N Srivastava Commissioner of Tourism and Managing Director. It's probably first time out side Mumbai many Bollywood personalities come under one roof like actor Sunil Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Manoj Joshi, Dino Maria, Naresh Kanodia, Abbas - Mastan, Abhishek Jain, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Madhur Bhandarkar, Sudhir Mishra, Asit Modi, Shravan Rathod, Kamal Gyanchandani, Vipul Shah, Ketan Mehta, Ashok Pandit, Mihir Bhuta, J.D. Majethia and Indra Kumar from film industry in Mumbai.

Akhilesh Yadav to be CM again ?
This is astrological prediction. Mayawati will get maximum number of MLAs in the ensuing Vidhan Sabha elections in UP but Akhilesh Yadav will be Chief Minister again. One can wait and watch.

AAP Dilli mein aaye kis liye ...
AAP waale now believe in mauka pe chauka!
They know not coming back to power so enjoy every mauka!!

Sisodia knew Kejri was on sick leave!
And he was de-facto CM I believe!

So why did he not cut short his so said study tour?
Or was he entrapped in Finland's lure!

Of course AAP will try to save face!
And to heckle Modi they'll race!!

Fact is now AAP believes in..kuch matt karro!!
Buss mooh mein thook bharro!!

And then spit at whoever questions them!!!!
Answer with Phlegm!!

Why are Delhi Government ads appearing in other States???
An answer to this Delhi awaits!!

Why are ad funds being wasted in other States!!
Or as de-facto PM himself Kejri rates!

No ads in newspapers on Modi's janam dinn!!!
Had it been Congress and a Gandhi it would have been a sin!!

Newspapers would be splashed with Birthday ads!!
On drama baazis Congis would have spent wads and wads!!

They don't know wishes come from the Dill!!!!
Ads cannot get wishes even if with ads Newspapers you fill!!

Nitish will now try to do some fence mending !!!!
Friendly feelers to Modi he will be sending!!!

He's realised Laloo is shifting to next gear!!!
Grabbing CM Chair for RJD is very near!!

And with Laloo it's impossible to espouse Governance that's clean!!
Towards all that's wrong Laloo does lean!!

The joke is RJD has benefitted most because of prohibition!!!
It's called RJD's Law of Cohibition!!

Whatever Law or Society does prohibit!
To break law with Law Breakers RJD does cohabit!

The Rupee many say will fall!!!
Overdue correction this some would call!!

Okay good for exports!!!
What about cost of imports!!!

Fuel prices will rise!!!
Unless Duties etc are 'cut to size'!!

How about making Exports easy!!
You can say 'breezy'!!

Transportation, Documentation and Clearances take too long!!
In a Economy striving to boost exports very wrong!

Dastardly attack in Uri 17 Brave Soldiers killed!
Now would be the time to give us a peek into 'This Government is Strong Willed'!

Let President's rule be declared in Delhi

Chikungunya Dengue threat in Delhi, Sisodia gallivanting in Helsinki . Jain quoting Google rape again in the National capital. What more can we tolerate? Blame games being played at the cost of lives. Shame on a party which swore on cleansing the system which they have contaminated further. If the politicians are missing where is the beauracracy ? We deserve all this and perhaps more for electing these people. Wonder what the CP of Delhi is doing after Bassi left. Bas ho gaya. Let President's rule be declared.
