Madam khelli Holi... wah bhai wah...
It's the 5.52 pm fast local... today is my turn and I take Vada Pao
and Pista flavored milk for my train Buddies. ..
Akbar: Lo jee now Rahul and Sonia after years step out to celebrate
Holi. ..they think by this they will endear themselves to the majority
...
Amar: When they threw Iftar Parties then you didn't object ... so you
guys get taken in by these charades of theirs...
Me: News is their Poll Advisor Prashant has advised then to chum up
with Brahmins for the UP Poll...
Amar: So they chose Holi to do this ... if they want to chum up with
Brahmins they should start throwing Bhoj after Bhoj...and get used to
serving and eating high calorie food ..Pooris.. Kachoris... Jalebis.
..
Me: In Congress's case summoning a Poll Advisor is like calling a Doctor
after Patient has been pronounced dead...UP and Punjab will be the Poll
Advisor's Waterloo..
Antonty: So Mehbooba has agreed to head a coalition Government ..
Amar:And kindly note no lollipos have been given. ...no CBMs... no Banquets...
Mehbooba met Modi .. that's all ...
Me: Yup this is BJP .... and Modi's style is straightforward .... Congress
used to bend in all directions because their greed for power was so
great ... here BJP made it clear ... will not bend for power .....

Amar: Yes must be after Rahul mentioned .. Fair and Lovely... and not
his Fairness Cream..
Me: Apne ghar mein ladayee aur neighbor ke naam pe hai duhayee...
Amar: Ha ha ... I think Baba Ramdev should send Agnijith ... burn cure
to Congress ....
Me: I think what they need badly is Fevicol... where where they are
not in power ....their bonding is becoming weak..
Akbar: What about in power ....in States where they are in power...
Me: There too Fevicol... Sonia should mandate usage on hands and legs
by all MLCs.... their quest for more ....bahut zyaada haath paer (feet)
maarna bandh karwae...

"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'.

Farmers misled by mirage effect
Punjab Legislative Assembly has passed,''The Punjab settlement of Agricultural
indebtedness Bill-2016'',explicitly to sail the distressed farming community
out of the debt quagmire.As a prelude to the Assembly elections 2017,
the 15 years hibernated legislation has seen the day light as the regime
has contemplated it as a major booster of garnering votes.However ,this
paper tiger may not be able to show its teeth ,as rules are yet to be
framed,logistic support of creating and filling 69 posts of the Tribunals
and more for the supporting staff,their office, conveyances,service
conditions etc may take substantial time, given the easy ways of working
of the government especially when powerful lobby of commission agents
would use its clout against the prospective establishment.The Act ,
meant to help the class ,which has no money,would further involve them
in circuitous,tiring and labyrinthine litigation,which entails substantial
expenses and time,though as usual, period of three months has been fixed
for disposal of cases.No interest rate has been fixed,there has not
been regular maintenance of accounts by the farmers,and the creditor
has all the resources to spend.This creditor friendly legislation shall
remain a non-starter and the condition of farmers shall become more
precarious, having no further hope of liquidation of debt and immediate
relief.

West UP must have its own bench of High Court
Why when UP which is among the largest States, has maximum population
- more than 20 crore, maximum districts - 75, maximum constituencies,
maximum MPs - 80, maximum MLAs - 404, maximum PM including Narendra
Modi, maximum pending cases and here too West UP accounts for more than
half of pending cases as noted by Justice Jaswant Commission about 57%,
maximum Judges which earlier was 160 and increased to 200 in high court,
maximum vacancies of Judges - only 71 in high court, maximum poverty,
maximum villages more than one lakh, maximum cities more than 700, maximum
fake encounters killings, custody killings, maximum cases of human rights
violations, maximum undertrials, maximum cases of crime, loot, arson
and riots and here too West UP tops with Saharanpur riots, Meerut riots,
Muzaffarnagar riots tarnishing our international reputation to the extent
that UN Secretary General termed UP as "crime and rape capital"
of India and what not yet Centre is not prepared to create even a single
bench for not just West UP but entire UP? Why when UP sends maximum
MPs to Lok Sabha - 80, maximum MPs to Rajya Sabha - 30, maximum MLAs
to State Assembly - 404 MLAs and maximum members to State Legislative
Council - 100 MLAs and yet has least benches - only one and that too
just 150 km away from Allahabad at Lucknow ?

DATE WITH RTI

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.
