So the war went on month after month and became more destructive and barbarous.

Who is Saudan Singh ?
Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik is an harassed man these days. He is keen to know who is Saudan Singh ? Infact, Saudan Singh is the man who is instrumental in big defeat of the BJD in local bodies elections. He is organising Secretary of the BJP incharge for Odisha. The staunch dedicated RSS man silently moved from village to village in Odisha with about 4000 RSS workers of Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh to see the victory of the BJP. And the entire country was surprised to find miraculous victory of the BJP in the BJD stronghold, Odisha.

Only Modi can take tough decisions

Appeasement boori bala

I'm back in Shimla and today my respected friend, a retired senior Bureaucrat, and me meet at a shop in Lower Bazar that specializes in Samosas and Jalebis and over piping hot Samosas and Jalebis served with hot tea in glasses we get chatting.

Me: I was just viewing a debate on TV ...and the Congress..SP..BSP and even the Moderator of the debate ganged up on the BJP representative..
Respected Friend: Ahaa...I know which news channel...its rabidly against Modi and the Moderator seems to have taken Congress's defeat in the 2014 election personally ...and these Parties see the ground slipping under their feet...of course they will gang up on BJP...
M: They kept on lamenting about BJP's changing narrative in every phase of UP election...
RF: Back-hand complement for BJP....which means BJP has its ear to the ground...they forget UP is a massive State and it is only natural that Public's priorities change regionally within the State...but BJP does not indulge in appeasement ... the Shamshaan Kabristan jibe was aimed at showing how warped appeasement has gotten...
M: Muslims seem to prefer appeasement... they like comments like 'they have the first right on Nation's resources'...whether they get it or not is a different issue altogether ...rather than factual equality.... they prefer only appeasement ...
RF: And Aki commented .....in 2019...Mulayam as PM....Rahul as DPM....both would be nightmares for India ....and what a slap on Congress's face ...see what its been reduced to...a regional Party calling the shots....
M: In Maha Udhav's said...Ataa malaa enjoy karun dayaa.... does he feel he has won in Maharashtra ...shows how small headed he is ....BJP wins 8 out of 10 polls..... leaps up practically 2.5 times in seats in BMC...has Fadnavis said let me savour this momentous victory...no!!
M: I hear in BMC Congress wants a trade off...give support in BMC...and be part of State Government ...SS + Congress + NCP....which means SS breaks up with BJP in the State altogether...
RF: First NCP will never be game .. Pawar is a wily Politician and knows the electoral backlash ...don't forget Public chose a BJP - SS Government ....but then with Rahul at the helm in Congress and Udhav at the helm in SS...both frustrated and desperate in equal measure and adviser manipulated...who knows...I know one thing for sure if there is a Mid Term Election today because of misadventures of friend turned foe or foe ....... BJP will get minimum 370 seats.....
M: Yes Public knows why these Netas are so allergic to Modi and desperately want him out of 7 RCR ...
RG: Didi quite nowadays ...Kejri keeps tweeting off and on...Nitish I hear is in ...on your marks ..get set...position ...and post UP results ...if UP goes to BJP...it will be GO... would not be averse to a JD(U) - BJP alliance in 2019 .....much to Laloo's ire and helplessness ...Nitish's plank to his Muslim vote bank would be ...joining a winner to take care of 'your interests'...
M: Politically interesting times ahead....
RF: One caveat on UP ...before I forget.... Sonia did not campaign ... Priyanka ...minimal exposure ..its been Rahul all the way ...if Congress tally goes up ...they are expecting this ....even by 5 seats ...they will hail this as Rahul's comeback ...the entire gambit..SP alliance etc ...winning additional seats.. credit will go to him...
M: Na nau mann tel hogaa na Radha nachche gi....
RF: Ha...ha ...chalo let us go...joke for the road ...how Sonia psyches her Pappu ...she keeps telling him everything will be ok in the end ..if everything is not ok...its not the end ...

Why ACC keeps files for so long ?

Why ACC is keeping files for months and not clearing them ?

Dogs, Donkeys, Cows …..

India has plenty of leaders who don't understand the value of human or animal capital. Take dogs- they are known as man's best friend of unmatched loyalty, immensely intelligent and reliable security personnel. So much so that dogs are enjoying the status of "Officer" in military services and crime investigation forces. And still one senior politician poured tonnes of scorn on dogs the other day in public view for not having participated in the Indian freedom movement! The biggest faux pas was committed by another politician recently when he chose to mock the donkeys for probably they belonged to a lower caste in the Indian animal caste system. Otherwise, the person boasting of rural roots and in the exclusive service of the farmers would not have insulted the highly prized animal. He boasts of "Highways" built by his government forgetting that it is the donkey which serves the needs for goods in rural India which has no roads at all. But for the donkey, the Army can't move man or machine in mountain terrains in the border areas. Army mules are costlier than the bhains of politicians on which public funds are wasted. The worst example of lack of knowledge of animal science in the same breed of Netas is betrayed in their campaign against cows. They have made the cow a symbol of communal strife without studying the nutrition science of cow milk or the economic benefits of rearing cows over other animals. It would have made them more circumspect about beef business! It is time to include elementary veterinary science in school syllabus !

ACS grade in ample - waste of resources

In some states about 30 IAS officers have been given the rank and pay of ACS which is equivalent to Secretary to GoI. Such a waste of resources has never been seen in the past. Other Services have to kowtow before all powerful IAS officers to get even one post in the Apex grade which is often denied. In a state only one officer i.e. Chief Secretary should be given the Apex grade.
