Russian losses were perhaps the greatest of all countries.

Bank accounts and AIADMK ?
Who will operate AIADMK Bank accounts ? If insiders are to be believed, bank accounts will be operated at the hidden instruction of the Modi Government and banks will faithfully carry out the orders. Tamil Nadu's 'caretaker' Chief Minister O Panneerselvam has insisted that he continued to be AIADMK treasurer and wrote to two banks, asking them not to allow anyone else to operate the party's accounts. Sasikala has removed OPS from the post of the Treasurer.

GoM to CoS
During UPA regime govt used to form Group of Ministers (GoM) to discuss any problem that arises and submit its report . More than 50 GoMs were formed in the previous regime. But now the scene has changed. NDA govt appoints Committee of Secretaries (CoS) to discuss the problem and submit report with concrete solution. More than half a dozen CoS have been formed by the NDA govt. Important CoS are on OROP, GST.

AIADMK likely to split
Tamil Nadu is likely to see a big political turmoil. Observers opined that AIADMK is fighting for leadership and if Shashikala loses the fight the party is bound to split.

Mirchi laghi....
My friend who is an ardent Congi fan meets me at a Iconic Coffee Shop in CP. Over Coffee and Cheesecake Slices we get chatting.

Friend: Modi's ...MMS wears a raincoat while bathing ...was really in very bad taste ..
Me: I think if you ask any apolitical individual ...viewing the Scam a day UPA days ..how has MMS managed to come out blot free ...isn't it surprising ... was he partial PM and was not in the loop where ever corruption took place ....
F: So kudos to Madam ji Sonia ji The Saviour of Congress (TSOC) ...she chose the right person for PM's job... he was not a partial PM ..
M: But don't you feel that in his watch such humongous corruption took place ... what about the clean chits he issued...and Modi just said he wore a raincoat ..can I remind you the terminology Sonia your TSOC and her minions used to abuse/insult Modi ...Maut ka Saudagar, Mouse, Monkey, Failed Husband , Badtameez, Nalaayak , Gawaar.... in fact a Gandhi Family Kadhcha (big spoon) even went to Pakistan and asked for help to remove Modi...
F: Talk about what was said in The House ....outside does not matter..
M: So outside The House they cease to be MPs and MLAs ....and then Modi has proven he does not indulge in double speak ... what he says outside the same he says inside The House.
F: Now see how we will boycott Modi in LS and RS..
M: Your loss and Nation's gain ... your boycott will just add to Modi's credibility . ..as Modi had said ..as I press the dukhti nabz many will cry out , abuse me , boycott me...
F: What message will this send overseas ..
M: Internationally its know what Modi stands for and the gutsy steps he's taken to cleanse India and take it to new heights ...
F: I think Modi is scared of Madam ji Sonia ji TSOC and Yuvraj Rahul ji The Hope of Congress (THOC)..
M: I think it's just the opposite your TSOC and THOC are scared of Modi...
F:Yuvraj Rahul ji THOC ka chamatkaar dekhna....kamaal ka dimaag hai unn ka...
M:Dimaag ki baath pe yaad aaya...he just said in UP that he's waiting for the day when Obama buys a bedsheet made in UP....doesn't he know Obama has left the White House ...somebody should at least update him on developments ...
F: Now see the way BJP is interfering in Tamil Nadu...
M: OPS developed a spine and now Congress High Command is scared ...what if this 'disease' spreads to Congress ....and now lighten up...here's a joke from TN...In TN: Captive MLAs sent an sms to the Governor: " Aiya! Don't come Chennai. For 2 months no come. We happy here. Good room...super bottle...plus..plus...at home wife making idli daily...boring! Please Sir...don't come!"

DEBATE

How do you see the two most powerful leaders of the World - Donald Trump and Narendra Modi ?

Some people see Donald Trump as Narendra Modi of the USA. Like Modi in 2014, they say, Trump touched the raw nerve of the US citizens in 2016 to win a decisive victory.

If Modi, with his magnetic electoral campaign, won an absolute majority for his party for the first time in 2014, Trump also staged a spectacular campaign to win the top job for himself.

How do you (surfers of whispersinthecorridors.com) see the two most powerful leaders of the World ?

This has reference of V S Ramachandran that most of the bureaucrat see the whisper before they start the work. But unfortunately except seeing the posting and transfer, nobody act on the cause and suggestions provided by various viewers. It would be great if, all bureaucrat, analyse and act on the suggestion provided to strengthen the hands of PM.

THINK TANK
1. In a way Trump is right. Either you ban outsiders/refugee or you have to convert citizens in to refugee. Choice is all yours.
2. Trump is for the citizen as he honours Lincoln 's saying Government is For the people, Of the people and By the people.
3. Citizen are not the enemy and one should think for citizen first as they collectively make a Nation.

Without Citizen, Nation is a barren desert land
Among the core sectors, Steel has responded in very positive way to the various interventions done by the Government. The impact of anti-dumping has brought down imports by 37%, exports up by 58%, production has gone up by 10.5%. The efforts are now to bring down the cost of input so as to trigger the production and productivity of MSME, Private and Public Sector. The budget has given support by bringing down import duty on items not made in India. The Steel Ministry has uploaded policy to replace imports in phased manner.

Choked lifelines
Not only the most sacred of the Indian rivers, Ganges has not been cleaned in more than 30 years, but not even a nallah or a small rivulet has been cleaned so far, in any part of the country. Rather, we should find out as how much more polluted and dirty our rivers and canals have become after the clumsy and clownish rhetorical gesturing of the slogan of 'Swachh Bharat' without first working out the parameters and details. Even the intervention of the Supreme Court and NGT in monitoring cleaning of Ganges, has not brought anything fruitful and vegetative so far, though the matter pertains to the Executive of the nation. Commenting on the lackluster and tardy movement in the project had constrained the highest court to remark that the river would not be cleaned in 200 years that way. There is every need to keep the rivers clean at all costs for the survival of the humanity. The political commitments, of late, have become only slogans to gain power and then indulge in further jumlas to retain it. Let the govt show to the Indians that it can work and do something for the nation beyond buffoonery..
