Get a Soul -----
How can Rahul be pitted against Modi!
So what if he's sitting in Sonia's goddi (lap)!!

It's time Jaitley ..Sushma took him on!
High time this is done!

He is happy Modi responds to him!
For him it's like his reputation goes to the gym!

His taunts are meant to get PM to reply!
I think on this it's mind BJP should apply!

Why give him credibility when it's not due!
Hope BJP takes this cue!

If you ask me Khaniya came out!
And flouted bail conditions without a doubt!

Court had ordered him to stay away from sloganeering!
And after release he was again jeering!

Seems he feels his Legal Team will bail him out !
He needs to be sorted out!

He's a student by profession!
Ask him privately and he'll make this confession!

He embarked on his profession at a young age!
JNU is now his political stage!

King of Good Times has a guardian angel!
Could even be Archangel!

Otherwise how do you explain his case!
Anyone else the law he'd have to face!

If Subrata Roy can be kept in jail!
In Mallya's case why does the law fail!

From Diego he's got a $ 70 million pay out!
First and foremost India mein karro isse grout!

Then only is there a chance in hell to recover!
Only then their losses to some extent Banks will cover!

As I pen this another farmer takes his life!
Could not continue living on the debt knife!

And all he owed was a Lac or so!
To help him out Banks said NO!

Only if you owe big time Banks stand by you!
And this is nothing new!

When will the system get a soul????
At present where soul should be there's a big hole !!

"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'.

How acquisition of farm lands can be reduced ?

Department of Disinvestment has been converted into Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM). A number of central sector PSUs were set up on lands provided by States/UTs on a token money of Rs.1/- from the States. These units have closed down. For their proper sale the States will have to transfer the title deed of the land to the Centre after taking some fee. After that it will be easier for the DIPAM to sell these closed central PSUs to prospective buyer who is ready to run the company in a new form. The problem of acquisition of farm lands will reduce to a great extent. There are a number of such closed industries in Mumbai, Kanpur, Kolkatta, Chennai, Nagpur, Allahabad and other places. For god sake it should not be handed over to the builders.

Fraudulent withdrawal from bank accounts by cloning of ATM

Appellant sought information pertaining to fraudulent withdrawal from bank accounts of various customers including his own by cloning of ATM. He stated that in most of the cases, the money was refunded by the bank and in some cases including the appellant's, the money was not refunded. The appellant sought the names of account holders in whose case the money was refunded and the reasons for not refunding the money in the rest of the cases including his own. The PIO informed the appellant that the amount had been paid to all those customers whose amount had been withdrawn through ATM fraudulently who had account in their branch. The payment could not be made to the appellant, because he had account at the JP Nagar Branch, Bangalore and his case had to be settled by that branch. He further informed that the matter was taken up with the Bangalore Branch for payment to the appellant. The CIC directed the PIO to provide the copy of their letter through which the matter was taken up with the Bangalore branch, advised to resolve the issue and intimate the action taken to the appellant.

Comments

The case provides an example of how an ordinary citizen can make use of the RTI Act for the resolution of his problems.
