March...

Congis mein maatam hai,
Kehte hai humaari story khattam hai!

Priyanka nikkli Bhaiya jaisi!!
Kismat ki aisi kumm taisi!!

For Congis she was their last hope!!
Looks like fate was giving them a long rope!!

Maybe Sonia can do lateral adoption!!
For pro Paratooping type a valid option!!

Adopt Scindia or Pilot or Gogoi!
Sochcho ....hai aur koyi!!

Biggest requirement for this 'job'!!
Out of their reach their 'spine' they have to lob!!

MMS will take appointee's class for month or two!!
What they can and cannot do!!

High Command will be the Super Boss!!
And certain lines the appointee cannot cross!!

Don't think 'adoption' means change in stature!!
And cardinal sin to turn into a power snatcher!!

But if BJP does not do well!!!
Opposition is going to give Modi 'hell'!

For example Didi will take out all her bhadaas!!
Spit fire with every saans!!

Kejri toh khushi mein paagal ho jaaye ga!!
To hell with Diabetes ....pehle 2 Kgs ladoo khayega!!

All of them are keeping their ammo dry!!
But if BJP does well Didi toh will start to cry!!

There are some in BJP who will also raise their awaaz!!
There are a few who with Modi are naraaz!

Most are the ones who are always on a Malai quest!
Got sidelined because they failed Modi's Probity test!

Down South Chinama has found her MMS!!
Most Manageable Servant or MMS!!

This MMS has passed the majority test!!
But the mutiny has not been put to rest!!

Public Opinion will catch up fast!
At Chinama's takeover many are aghast!!

Her getting back the Banned Ones is top on the list!!
Like now Chinama ko ex banned Dinakaran will assist!

Confucius says ...March will be an interesting Maheena!!!
Kya aur chowda hoye ga Modi ka seena!!

Praveen Kumar

Corruption solidified

The inmate number or Qaidi Number of Sasikala ,who nearly grabbed CM's post in Tamil Nadu, is 9234. It is a fact that corruption has stopped to be sloganeered as a vice more so as a political vice. As far back as the mid 1960s and early 1970s, Punjab had witnessed the constitution of Daas commission and Chhangani Commission respectively to probe charged of misuse of power etc against the then CMs in Punjab. However indulging in corrupt means, misuse of powers and highhandedness have become hallmarks of political bosses to a significant effect for the last about 3 decades. Lalu Yadav was the first major convict, followed by Chautalas and then Jayalalithaa, though the corruption charges against the politicians/bureaucrats are flying like the moths after the rains. Credit ,however goes to the relentless fighters like Dr Subramaniam Swamy, who has fought against some players like Cassius Clay. The reckless indulgence and ruthless administration for self or family gains has dwarfed the Indian democracy. Govt money and sops are distributed like alms for garnering votes to make the masses perennial paupers and the politicians kings. Tamil Nadu is not different from any other state except for the fact that here hero/heroine worship is tremendously predominant bordering on frenzy and hysteria. In the mid 1990s, i had attended a training course in a southern state on the law and order. I told the director that south was much better in the maintenance of law and order and level of corruption. The director replied, ''We have also become equally roguish. ''In Punjab ,there used to be 2 IAS officers from Tamil Nadu, PN Balu, and HV Krishnamurthy. Both were honest to the core, upright and courageous to say no to the political bosses. Both resigned from the elite IAS, very early in life. The third instance is of MG Devasahayam IAS from Tamil Nadu allocated to Haryana cadre. Though 0he was a legendary officer, he also resigned from this service, midway. In Punjab, there was a officer from Kerala, who as deputy commissioner, refused to make any arrangement for the visit of Sanjay Gandhi, unless and until he was declared a state guest. The dynastic politics and shameless indulgence in corruption and misuse of power by the election winners, over a long spell, has significantly dwarfed the Indian democracy. It is time the nation gives a clarion call to the politicians and rulers to work in the interests of the masses.

Surinderjit Singh Sandhu, Amritsar

Misusing vehicles

The Ministers, Senior Government officials, Senior Corporate Executives & heads of NGOs misuse vehicles for personal purposes at the Government, companies & NGOs cost respectively, which is corruption. If this is stoppped once for all by the NGT, then the clogging of city traffic in the country will reduce to a great extent. There will also be less pollution.
