Link Booze to Aadhaar


Baba ji met Yechury for ek ghanta!!!
Was it about the EVM tantaa (hullabaloo)!!

It was billed as a meeting on GST!!
Or was it to discuss 'Gamut for Survival Together' or GST!!

They talked over Coffee!!
Realizing Baba's grasp was Yechury tempted to give him a toffee!!

Think of what Scindia has to bear!!
Post every meeting ghar ja ke Kurta hotha ho ga tear!!

Shinglu Committee Report exposed AAP Government!!
And we know why to Lt. Guv files were not sent!!

AAP will damn the Report as a ploy!!
Maybe now Jethmalani Kejri should permanently employ!

Jethmalini's Fees would be near about his Ad spend!!
On nomenclature of 'Permanent' it would depend!!

Don't know how Kejri is being called ..Gareeb!!
By those joh hai Kejri ke kareeb!

They use this to say he cannot afford Jethmalani!
He should think of this before doing badh-badh like Sholay waali Hema Malini!!

Do poor family's holiday in Switzerland!!
They think Public lives in Cuckoo Land!!

His verbal ..shoot and scoot!!
The Tab Delhites are being made to foot!!

Purchase of Booze should be Aadhar linked!!
Time the Bachchu blinked!!

Be it Vends,Bars,Restaurants ..link sale!!
Make it a crime if in doing this seller does fail!

If it's a Party the Host's Aadhar is enough!!
After all Host is responsible for serving this stuff!

All Commercial places where Booze is consumed!!
Have a record of level of drunkardness it will be assumed!

With the Tab the Breath Analyser Print Out will be kept!
When caught ..I did not know I was over the limit every Bewda has wept.

If over the Limit the Bar etc., will offer to call a Cab!!
If you decline you have to sign Waiver behind the Tab!!

Your crime of drunk driving becomes worse!!
At 'bad luck' you cannot curse!

Cops can easily access your drunk record!!
The Bottle comes with a Chord!

When Licenses are issued or renewed!!
Your drinking record will be viewed!!

Confucius says.. this Highway Ban is a Band Aid solution!!
System has to be proactive if yeh malady ka honna hai resolution!

Adds: Aadhar linking will achieve many goals!!
Plug many holes

BJP is unfair !

The BJP is being unfair on the issue of advertisements and lawyers fees for Delhi Govt. On one hand BJP saysDelhi is for whole of India and on the other makes these bogus claims. It's sad to see the state of politics preached by BJP and supported by WIC also. what a shame.

Poonam Pandey

Justice a far cry for Aam Aadmi

He has billed his client approximately 4 crores. He says it is concessional as he charges more according to the paying capacity of the client. He charges for retainership a huge amount plus pre-hearing conference fees and heavy fees per hearing, which ranges from a minimum of Rs. 25 lakhs and goes to any limit (depending again upon the client's paying capacity). He is one from his class of lawyers in India. At this huge cost which Indian can afford to engage this lawyer? This is the SOCIALIST Repulic of India. It promised us "justice". We have sacrificed everything for getting justice. And where do, we the people of India, stand today? Denied justice, we are regularly incarcerated, hanged and penalized. Our poverty not to be able to pay such huge fees is our crime. Admitted. And we deserve to be treated like that. If our cases remain pending in courts for decades or we remain "under trial" for decades, we have really no case for a grouse. We are great revolutionaries! We turned into satyagrahis, socialists, communists, Maoists, naxalites, young Turks, Lohiates, JPites…and what not! What a criminal waste of the first 5 decades of independence? We should have borrowed wisdom from such capitalism. Charges not known, fees not capped- only poor salaried persons to be squeezed to the maximum. Long live chavannicchaap revolution!

Modi means business in Delhi but not in Kolkata

There is no doubt that the Modi Government means business, but the ministries are not able to set right the offices outside Delhi. In Kolkata, none of the central government offices including the offices under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare have shown any sign of improvement. The poor work culture of the left regime and the humiliation and heckling of the senior officers do continue and the Ministries are just looking the other way. I Wonder, if PM will pay his attention here too so that we can work with dignity and confidence in making his mission a success.

DATE WITH RTI

Grievance redressal is beyond the purview of RTI Act

The Complainant submitted that vide his RTI application, he had sought details of the action taken on his earlier representations regarding granting him temporary status, etc. It was also submitted that he had sought the attendance details of other daily wage earners which was not provided to him. In reply, the Respondent (Delhi) submitted that information regarding attendance of Casual Labours was related to Field Department, Meerut and hence the application was transferred to Meerut vide letter of April, 2013. The Respondent (Meerut) submitted that all available information was provided to the Appellant. The Complainant submitted that in essence his RTI application related to the grievance of granting him a temporary status as opposed to other junior employees. The Commission observed that under the provisions of the RTI Act, 2005, only such information as is available and existing and held by the public authority or is under control of the public authority can be provided. The PIO is not supposed to create information that is not a part of the record. He is also not required to interpret information or furnish replies to hypothetical questions. Similarly, redressal of grievance, reasons for non-compliance of rules/contesting the actions of the respondent public authority are outside the purview of the Act.

Comments

It is often seen that the CIC is approached for redressal of his grievance. Everyone must realise that RTI is the forum for obtaining information and that armed with the necessary Page information, an individual may approach the appropriate authority for further necessary action.
