POLITICS

This is History (276)
The moderates continued to control Congress ,the extremists were driven out. The Congress became weak and for some years had little influence.

What bureaucrats say about poll results ?
Whispersinthecorridors.com spoke to certain IAS, IPS and IFS officers to assess poll results. In nutshell this is the outcome -
West Bengal -TMC
Assam - Coalition (BJP-AJP and BODO PEOPLES FRONT )
Tamil Nadu - Coalition (DMK and Congress)
and Kerala - Left Front
(WE SAID THIS ON APRIL 5 )

Will exit polls prove wrong?
Maximum exit pollsters have predicted BJP lead govt in Assam but will it be a dream for BJP? If experts from Assam are to be believed BJP and allies likely to get about 50 seats. Their reasoning is that BJP had fought election on 82 seats only and its actual fight was on 40-45 seats. Its allies - AGP & Bodo Council were given 42 seats. Allies are likely to win 10-12 seats. They are of the opinion that if Congress wins 50+ seats it will get the support of Badruddin lead AIUDF which is expected to win 10-15 seats. In the 126 seats of Assam assembly only, 64 is required to form the Govt. In such a scenario one should not be surprised if Congress captures power for the fourth time.

PM Modi and CM Raman Singh

There is a perfect chemistry between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh.This is evident from the fact that Modi twitted yesterday after his meeting with Raman Singh “drramansingh told me that a quintal of rice has been kept with each Panchayat to ensure no one starves in the villages. A good step “.Infact,the PM was briefed by the CM on Chhattisgarh’s usage of technology to identify watersheds & plan irrigation strategies & the states’s afforestation efforts.

NBCC posts a substantial 32% growth in topline

NBCC, the state owned Navratna Enterprise, under the Ministry of Urban Development, Govt. of India, has registered a substantial 32% Growth in Top line during FY 2015-16 as compared to the previous year. The Annual Financial Results for FY 2015-16, announced on 16th May 2016, shows the Company posting a Profit of Rs.311 Crore while its total Income has surged to Rs.5838 Crore. Speaking to the Media on the occasion, Anoop Kumar Mittal, Chairman-cum-Managing Director of the Company said that the Company had been consistently performing well and informed that the Order Book position of the Company as of now, stood at more than Rs.35000 Crore and was likely to touch the figure of approximately 60,000 Crore in next few months. Elaborating upon the business outlook, Mittal stated that the Company's focus areas in the coming years would primarily be PMC and Redevelopment works. He said that NBCC already had huge work orders from the Government in respect of the redevelopment of properties which included Rs.5000 Crore East Kidwai Nagar Redevelopment; Rs.2149 Crore Integrated Exhibition-cum-Convention Centre for ITPO; AIIMS Redevelopment Works of Rs.5828 Crore etc. In this context, he also informed the Media that very soon NBCC would be adding to its kitty, three more Works of redevelopment of Govt. properties valuing approximately Rs.25000 Crore and located at Netaji Nagar, Sarojini Nagar and Nauraji Nagar in Delhi. Giving an account of the Company's latest strategic moves in business operations, Mittal spoke of NBCC's recent initiative towards acquiring HSCL, a Central PSU under the Ministry of Steel. When asked about the viability of this take over by NBCC, he said "It would be a win win situation for NBCC as this would allow the Company to enter into the steel vertical where it has no presence at present". He further said, "The excess land parcels now available with HSCL shall be conveniently monetised by the Company to pay off the former's bank loan not covered by the Government grant". Mittal also informed the media that the Company had recently gone for stock split of each equity share of face value of Rs.10/- each into 5 equity shares of face value of Rs.2/- to make Company script more affordable for the common investors.

C. M. of Delhi has no work except gossips !

C. M. of Delhi perhaps has no work except gossips and finding faults in others. This shows that neither he was sincere to his duties during his services nor as a Chief Minister. It is my suggestion that he should take care of citizens in Delhi rather than worry for entire Nation. There are so many good politicians/leaders in the country who are looking after the welfare of Nation as per their assignment.

Eradicate Corruption!!

Corruption has entered in the system like Cancer in lymph nodes which cannot be cured but controlled and managed. Like in a family, if Head of the family is honest and disciplined then other members of family, generally, follow the principles of the Head. In similar way if Head of the Country, States, Ministries/Departments, corporations etc. are honest and disciplined then all other in the line down below will follow the principles of the honesty. A top-down approach has to be adopted. We have seen last 67 years the corruption has increased instead of coming down because we started from lower most layer. It means our system has not responded positively. Corruption cannot be handled by checking the corruption at lower levels, it has to be tackled from top most to lower most in the system. Start concentration in the uppermost layer of the system and then automatically it will trickled down and has to work as a deterrent for the others.
Secondly, it is estimated that 99% of country's wealth is with 1%of population. Govt. has to concentrate only with 1.25 billion people about tax compliance. Forget 99% population. 1% has to be mapped in financial parameters. Each Commissioner Income Tax to be given to compile the data of their region (in terms of assets, luxury items, property, foreign travels, cars etc.) for the people having income above 25 lakhs for salaried and non-salaried people and find out how many are not in tax net or reporting lower income to evade taxes. This exercise has to start. Recent election has shown cash more than 100 crores have been seized. From where this money is flowing? It appears that no agency in the Govt. is responsible for this unaccounted money. It clearly shows our financial system is not fool proof. Govt. should consider the demonetization of 500 and 1000 rupees notes to control the cash flow and corruption. People has to rise to the occasion to work together to control corruption in the country which hinders the growth of the country.

Hasmukh Adhia - an outstanding officer

Hasmukh Adhia is an outstanding officer. He is the most outstanding officer of the 1981 batch of the IAS. He is deeply spiritual and a yogi. His services as Principal Secretary, General Administration Department, Gujarat will be remembered for all times to come. His work as Banking Secretary where he handled the issue of NPAs of Banks exceptionally well is also remembered. Unfortunately, Revenue is a very minor department where a man of his talents actually has little to do. Most work in Revenue is done by the two Statutory Boards. This has been so since British times, when there was only one Central Revenue Board. Even then, most work in Revenue was done by the Chairman of the statutory Central Revenue Board and there was little work for the Secretary, Revenue. The same position prevails today. He certainly deserves a better charge than Revenue Secretary. Usually, Revenue Secretary is but a stepping stone for higher things and is not considered a very substantive charge for IAS officers.

Revenue authorities not doing their job properly

The recent seizure of crores of rupees in Tamil Nadu reveal the fact that the revenue authorities are not doing their job properly. The people of Tamil Nadu, particularly the educated are quite frustrated on learning that two major political parties have been distributing cash for voters. It is really unfortunate to note from the media reports that there were counting machines found at the time of raid of a particular location. This is black money in rotation within the country. It is high time the present government took appropriate initiatives to immediately unearth black money in rotation within India, otherwise people will slowly lose their confidence, which is definitely not going to be a healthy sign.
