POLITICS
This is History (515)
It was amazing effort for one nation, and it was only possible because
of the magnificent miniature machine that Germany had built up.
Who is the biggest leader in Congress ?
Who is the biggest leader in the Congress Party these days ? People
will say only Rahul Gandhi.
SBI does it again !
State bank of India (SBI) known for committing several firsts with Mrs.
Arundhati Bhattacharya as it's Chairman has done it again. This time
it has come out with a big advertisement for recruitment of Probationary
Officers carrying a fabulous picture of Mrs, Bhattacharya - listed as
the 4th most powerful woman in Asia Pacific by 'Fortune' and as the
30th most powerful woman in the world by 'Forbes'.
Modi ka jawaab...
Kharge ji Kharge ji,
Aap ki tichkaro (childish jokes) se humm bhar geye ji!
Seems Rahul's doggy love spread to his minions!
Use 'dog' to express their opinions!!
Modi ji gave him apt dose!!
Though unaffected Kharge did pose!!
Behind him Scindia was keeping an account!!
In front of his Boss all this he will recount!!
Bhagwant Mann made jokes of Modi during the campaign!!
When Modi got back he's in extreme pain!!
Punjabi adage : Joh Ma karre na Piyo (Dad),
Soh karre ghiyo (Ghee).
But there are some who believe that with Ghiyo,
Poori Bottle peeyo!!
In Punjab Mann's love for the Bottle is well known!!
That is why being AAP CM nominee chance he already has blown!!
Chinama if she comes to Dilli!!
Don't serve her Paneer Chilly!!
OPS got sick of being stop-gap man!!
With Amma he did it as he was her ardent fan!!
No doubt as Stop-Gap CM he proved to be able!
Maybe that is why Chinama and Hubby felt unstable!
Passions run high in TN and could cause instability!
Maybe Guv's Rule for some time for stability!!
Also OPS has stated,
Amma's death will be investigated!!
Just because Swami is pro Chinama does not mean!!
As BJP is supporting this should not be seen!!
AAP conjures up stupidest matters of concern!!
Almost all the time because of heartburn!!
Now they are guarding EVM Strong Rooms!!
They say fixing of EVMs looms!!
Maybe conjuring a excuse !!
Which when they cannot form Government they'll use!
Of course it's also to keep some issue in the air!!
Always this or that scandal we will bare!!
In Bangalore Kejri getting Enemas twice a day!!
Maybe his pals too need a Jindal stay!!
RBI rightly kept Rates unchanged !!
Inflation scenario has changed !!
Oil prices rising and so is Kitchen inflation rising!
Good there has been no rates downsizing!
Trump has a valid point !!
Courts in US sure do disappoint !!
Why are Liberals saying rights have been infringed!!
What rights of New Application and Entrants been impinged!!
And this ban is to strengthen vetting process!!
US will be just taking a 'diligent recess'!!
Confucius says..By looks of it France too will copy Trump,

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 ?

Celebrating Brute Khilji or Gen. Dyer ?
Next to Rani Padmini (Padmawati), our artists may make a film on Bahadur
Shah Zafar showing him carousing in the company of the Mujrewali girls
in the Chandani Chowk Sadar Bazar area. They may even celebrate Brig
Gen Dyer for firing on the unarmed people celebrating the festival of
Baisakhi in the Jalianwalla Bagh in Amritsar. Who knows their next film
may take us to Lahore in search of Bhagat Singh in the company of the
British. After all it is secularism. It is freedom of speech & expression.
It is liberalism, progressivism, leftism, modernism and as yet not known
ism. . They are bringing to our closed minds the virtues of permissive,
promiscuous and free societies of the West. If asked, they will present
evidence of the western world enjoying similar hits at their Gods, Goddesses,
national icons, heroes and saints even though their depiction might
be as contrary to reality as their Khilji history and research.. Their
creativity is at its best when they are exploring, delving deeper in
love, romance, debauchery, sex, violence in people in relationships,
physical or psychological. Keep up film directors, script writers, actors,
film poster painters.

All should pay tax
If all citizens of India start paying taxes sincerely, then there will
be lesser tax burden on people. Even those in higher income groups will
also have to pay less tax.

Very strange !
Consecration of convicted politicians (wic 6.2.17): It is very strange
that TV media and WIC portray convicted politicians (for corruption)
as some very great patriots of Bharat Mata. I request media to ignore
such convicted politicians and thus punish them indirectly for their
corrupt deeds. Jai Hind. Jai Bharat.

DGCA should probe
The landing of spice jet sg 158 from Mumbai to Delhi is the worst in
the history of aviation accidents. The pilot and navigation by new comers
and lady captain had really broken all norms and rules and on foggy
night landed at Delhi airport and applied brakes resulting the overturn
or accident for 140 people. The Spicejet should never be trusted anymore
for the credibility and honesty. This is very serious matter to be probed
by DGCA.

Filing of RTI Application to know the fate of earlier application
An application was under the RTI Act seeking information regarding
action taken on an earlier RTI application and first appeal filed
by the Complainant. A reply was sent to him on but the Complainant
stated that he did not receive this reply. The Respondents volunteered
to send another copy to him. While noting that no further action
is due on this RTI application, the CIC observed that the right
course of action for an RTI applicant, in the event of the PIO
not responding to his RTI application, is to file an appeal to
the First Appellate Authority and thereafter, if necessary, an
appeal / complaint to the Commission. Instead, the Complainant
took upon himself to enquire into the delay on the part of the
Respondents in responding to his earlier RTI application by filing
yet another RTI application. Filing of such applications is avoidable
because the RTI Act provides for appeals / complaint process in
the event of unsatisfactory action by Respondents on an RTI application.
Such applications needlessly clog the system.
Comments
RTI act is a self contained act which provides for the mechanism
to deal with cases where replies have not been received. An applicant
should use the modalities provided under the Act which can provide
him the best results.
