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 ?

"NAC papers - Politica, indica, corruptica"

Government's decision to release 710 files of NAC is welcome. An important source material for historians, researchers, political analysts, journalists etc to expose how legitimate powers of the executive were usurped by an extra-Constitutional authority. Created in 2004 (UPA-I) and dissolved on,2014 ( UPA-2) before PM Modi took over. Longest ever proxy rule by the de facto ruler Consider some home truths about NAC's bizarre style of functioning . Located in a 5-star office in Lutyen's Delhi, its chain of command was carefully structured on need-to-know basis. Giving oral directions was the unwritten rule. These were quickly legitimized by the then de jure PM- who was richly endowed with pliability and a propensity to retain his comfort zone. Though incorruptible, he was dishonest, anyway.

Union secretaries used to be summoned direct to the NAC bypassing ministers. The nervous bureaucrats shared their predicaments with successive Cabinet Secretaries but without results. All hell broke loose. Scams after scams. CWG, 2G,Coalgate, Choppers gate, Rober Vadra's illicit land deals etc. Ottavio Quattrocchi,' great escape to Italy via London and Argentina, was deftly manipulated. Permission to CBI officers to fly to London to arrest Quattrocchi, was deliberately delayed to enable the culprit reach Italy and avoid arrest. Thanks to the Screening committee of Secretaries and the then Cabinet Secretary. Secretaries to the Chairperson NAC, were retired secretaries, handpicked by the Congress supremo. They must be questioned. All top appointments in GoI, PSUs and public sector banks bore the informal ( unsigned ) approvals of the supremo followed by signed legitimisation by de jure PM. The Prime Minister's Relief Fund was blatantly misused by the de facto PM. Unfettered freedom to the supremo, without an iota of accountability. Chairperson NSA acting as super-PM, had prior access to all discussion papers before decision by competent authorities. Quiz the then Principal Secretary, Secretary or Joint Secretary to the then PM who carried files to NAC office for seeking oral directions . In short, the NAC committed all illegalities behind the screen. PM chose to turn a blind eye for a decade to remain in power, citing "compulsions of coalitions"

Railway finances ?

I agree to disagree that Railway finances seem to be in quite a bad shape and instead of improving these by recovering from the users, specially the passengers, the cost of service they are thinking of ways to augment the same in weird ways such as renting out platforms for weddings or branding trains and stations. While branding may not be such a bad idea, letting out Railway platforms for marriages is outright thoughtless. This is to put the normal travelling public to inconvenience as also expose the Railway facilities to insecurity as well as chaotic mess. Even branding of trains and allowing the buying media or advertisers to use the inside and outside of trains and stations with big hoardings and posters on selling their products will spoil the ambience and exclusiveness of rail travel. Now when the Rail Budget has been merged with the General Budget and Railways get more Budgetary support besides not paying dividend to General Revenue they should not hesitate to become really professional in dealing with their finances. There could not be a better time for them to do so when they have a minister who is above populism as he has no constituency to serve and the Prime minister himself is taking interest in Railway development and he has a big vision for that. Why do they then hesitate to suggest raising of fares. If at all they have to think of other ways of earning more income there could be so many other imaginative ways. For example like running tourists' specials, Pilgrimage specials or even marriage specials to destinations like Udaipur etc. Sponsored visits for students and Railway buffs to hundreds of heritage stations and other sites could be another idea. Unluckily there are pinching points in railways which no one bothers to check (i) Maint. cost at much inflated costs where railways contractors and engineers are hand in glove (ii) purchase of railway repair parts and equipments on papers and of inferior quality at inflated cost. (iii) Similarly catering and allied services at inflated costs with very poor services. If these are taken care of fares can be reduced to half. Are authorities listening.
