"Modi has no parallel"
-Prime Minister Narendra Modi who till a little less than two years
ago was beloved of the majority might be losing charm in the opinion
of some people but the question is that does any one else including
his opponents - Rahul, Mulayam or Lalu - have any charm ?
This question came up in the wake of response of the surfers of whispersinthecorridors.com
who were asked - "Is PM Narendra Modi losing his charm ? Is he
a changed man ?" While some replied in the affirmative, majority
did not agree and some of them even asked who else among Indian politicians
can stand parallel to him and suggested 'to see the things in the right
perspective'.

Yes, all freebees be stopped
I am in complete agreement that all free distribution of Water, Laptop
etc be banned as this is normally misused. Even otherwise, human beings
have a tendency to be lazy if they get something free. One must earn
after putting in all efforts so that society develops and prospers too.

Take immediate action against False affidavits and forged certificates
holders
Several views expressed in this forum about cases of recent approval
of acc for appointments of directors and chairman's in PSU's is very
much shameful. There are vigilance agencies who has given clean chit
without verification. Vigilance including CVC should treated such cases
are corrupted and heinous crimes. Instead of sending to agencies like
truth labs of Hyderabad for verification, they have given clean chit.
Persons who are holders of such affidavits and certificates should be
punished sections under Sections 420, 468 and 471 of the I.P.C. I request
PM to read my view and take immediate action, and stern message sent
to others. Such people are behaving like mafia, and they are threatening
subordinates.

Fraudulent surrender of LIC Policy
The Appellant took a health plus policy. She learnt that her policy
was surrendered without her knowledge on the basis of her forged
signatures on the policy and the amount was used for taking two
new policies by her mother-in-law. She complained to LIC and got
an FIR registered at Meerut. The LIC informed her that they had
sought the explanation of the agent concerned. She asked for a
copy of this explanation of the LIC agent under RTI which was
denied to her. She argued that the information sought related
to her and therefore, she was not a third party and had a right
to get a copy of the explanation. LIC stated that on the basis
of a complaint, they had paid the amount along with interest to
the appellant and redressed her grievance. The copy of the explanation
submitted by the agent was denied claiming it to be personal information
related to the agency. Relying on the Apex Court judgment in Girish
Ramchandra Deshpande case, the CIC upheld the denial of information
Comments
The appellant was able to get back the amount with interest due
to the pressure created by RTI application. It is a mute question
whether an explanation of the LIC agent in respect of alleged
fraud committed in respect of a client can be called as a third
party information.
