So strong was the wave of hysteria that it swept everything before it.

Roaring of Modi after Budget ?
People say that PM Narendra Modi who is silent these days will start roaring after the central budget on February 1. BJP will say "Modi Zindabad ".

Are BJP leaders against Modi ?
People now say in UP elections BJP leaders are biggest enemies of Narendra Modi than other rivals like BSP, SP and Congress. BJP leaders want to see the defeat of Modi in UP elections so that he doesn't emerge more stronger.

Unknown Heroes in large nos given Padmas
First time unknown heroes were honoured with Padma samman. According to experts they are the real heroes and it's good that the govt recognized their contribution.


Has AAP been naughty ...
Priyanka is like the Leap Year,
Every four years on the scene she does appear!!

Will this change and she'll stay on the scene!!
From now all she'll be always seen!!

Confident behaving as if Saviour has arrived!
At least within Congress this is being high-fived!!

It's just one Gandhi flopped!!
And in the scene the other sibling cropped (up)!!

I feel the Voter has smartened up!!
Will discount this shoo-shudup (Punjabi for show off noise)!!!

Is Kejri daft ..sheer mad!!!
Or is his Modi fixation a disease or a fad!!

Tweets wishing a Happy Republic Day!!
And then what does he say!!

Save Republic from Hitler Forces he adds madly!!!
On such a day reflects on the Republic badly!!

A little bird says quite a few Stings on AAP exist!!
Could really give the elections a decisive twist!!

Now is the Million $ Sawaal!!
Will Holder released these or as Insurance release dehga taal!!

All depend if the Holder feels how the odds are stacked!!
Based on this the CDs will be released or left packed!!

We The people don't know what's in the Political Mind!
At the last moment what is in the mind we find!!!

83% of Congress donations from Unknown Doners!!
Where are the Congo mourners!!

Who mourned day and night !!
That on unknown funds election BJP Marti hai fight!!

BJP has 63% such funds and AAP!!
Has removed fund details from Web apne aap!!

Suppose now this info is closely kept!!
There have been cases when apne aap such info has leapt!!

Actually there is so much various in AAP's saying and doing!!
In Delhi at AAP majority of electorate is booing!!

We know Pawar is allegedly a Raees but is he Kaabil!!!

Many on SM are questioning this choice!!
SM bahut nidartha se raises its voice!!

Or is NCP replacing SS in the Alliance!!
Yes there is a limit to SS's khulam-khulla defiance!!

Maybe Pawar has foreseen Congress's future!!
And now with a Winner NCP he wants to suture!!

Confucius says.. And Baap Beta ek hai!!
All this show of animosity in SP fake hai!!

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.

Gross unethical conduct by railway GM/DRM

The recent incident at Raipur wherein a lady employee was suspended and transferred just because she refused to sing a duet with the retiring General Manager of SECR has shocked everyone. The incident happened at around 1 am in a party at the officers club where drinks were being freely consumed. The attempts by the DRM to show this party as an official event and the refusal by the lady employee as an act of indiscipline were equally shocking. It is strange that the railway board that suspends/transfers senior railway officers at the slightest pretext has chosen to remain quiet at this blatant display of unethical conduct by railway officers and harassment of lady employees. It is time that the popular practice of singing and dancing at officers clubs of the railways is curtailed.

Debate (1)

"Donald Trump V/s Narendra Modi"

PM Modi had a humble beginning as a " chaiwalla " who received political grooming and rose from ranks to become Gujrat's CM four times. He had the requisite administrative experience to become PM.On the other hand, Trump, a political greenhorn, born with a golden spoon in his mouth, is a real-estate billionaire. Over-confidence comes to him naturally. No political grooming, but, endowed with sharp business acumen. Some traits evident from Trump's speeches and body language are disturbing. Inordinately impulsive, a compulsive loose cannon, he shoots his mouth off.

What PM Modi is to India, Trump is to the US. He is committed to "make America Great again and save jobs for the Americans". Trump's opposition to digital outsourcing is his prerogative. However, this should be negotiated by PM Modi with Trump to mitigate its adverse effect on India's economy. The US cannot ignore India's skilled IT manpower. India can look forward to special ties between Modi and Trump.

Both Modi and Trump faced hostility from the mainstream media, both print and electronic during election campaigns. Trump and his advisors were charged with xenophobia, homophobia, racism, nepotism and anti-Islamism spread by American media and his business rivals.

India should not count on Trump's stated distrust of Muslims to incline the US against Pakistan. The perception is misplaced and needs to be corrected citing India's example. Population of Indian Muslims in secular India (176 million) out-number Muslims in theocratic Pakistan (167 million).

Trump's entry will impact global order. By establishing personal rapport with him, Modi should facilitate formation of new Axis of the US, Russia, and India. This will be a bulwark against China and North Korea. Unauthorized occupation of islands by China in South-China sea, is a hot spot that could reach a flashpoint. Developing Gwadar port in Baluchistan and constructing China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) will give primacy to the expansionist China in the region. The US, Russia and India should take pre-emptive steps by thwarting China's subtle designs and work for freedom of Baluchistan and Sindh and restore POK-Gilgit-Baltistan to India, the legitimate authority.

Benefits of Seventh Pay Commission ?

The autonomous R & D organisations like ICAR, CSIR, ICFRE and other scientific council have been established to provide R&D support to the respective ministries and Government of India. The salary and other allowances of these organisations are in the similar pattern of the GoI and already committed by the GoI, as per the CCS rule. It is unfortunate that that these organisation who have been working hard in the various field are yet to be extended the benefits of Seventh Pay Commission. Such kind of action are demotivating the scientists and employees of these organisation and are not sending good signal for the future researchers. I on behalf of council employees would urge the Honorable PM, Honorable FM and concerned Ministry to kindly extend the benefits of the seventh pay commission to the employees and officers of the R & D organisations.

Corruption is the biggest ill

Cancer of corruption is the biggest ill of today. I fail to understand when govt. provides largest salary, maximum facilities and on the top of it despite having lok pal and other systems are in place why do they tend to induge in corrupt practices. One biggest mode of corruption in govt is hiring of vehicles all officers using it daily over 200-300 Kms meaning thereby that everyone is in the field and none is in office. All JS and above have atleast one unofficial vehicle at home for family. A large number of officials are having unofficial pvt vehicle at their disposal 24 hrs and GETTING TRANSPORT ALLOWANCE AS WELL. Is the govt system is holy cow and u can milk it right left and centre. Higher officials knowing it fully well keep on supporting it to their advantage. Govt needs to come down heavily on this corrupt system.

Utter failure of CVO

PESB loses steam

PESB seems to have lost steam after the previous Chairman left. There are no vacancies advertised and even interviews are not being held on day to day basis. If things are allowed to be like this, then it will take two years to fill all the vacancies of PESB. Let PSU rot. Who cares ?

S K Garg

Govt not able to find suitable persons !

It is strange that Government has not been able to find suitable persons to head these PSU's. DoP&T have issued number of orders which stipulate the time frame for completion of selection of all such appointments. Since concerned Secretary and Secretary DoP&T are responsible for this delay action should be taken against them.
