POLITICS
This is History (562)
Every quarrel begins in nothing and ends in a struggle for supremacy.
Modi and Shah know ground reality
Overheard at a dinner held on Holi-eve at a Delhi club where a number
of senior IAS/IPS and other service officers and families were present:
After UP, Delhi's arrogant political elite, media pundits and intellectuals
finally acknowledge that Narendra Modi and Amit Shah know the ground
reality of India better than those sitting inDelhi and voicing opinions.
Will Naqvi be given UP 's responsibility ?
Will Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi be chosen as new CM of UP ? If political Observers
are to be believed, Naqvi' s chances are bright because he is an experienced
Muslim face and by choosing him BJP will silence opposition also.
Will Raje be External Affairs Minister ?
In top BJP circles there is a thinking that MEA should have a new English
speaking graceful woman face . In this connection name of Vasundhra
Raje Scindia, senior BJP leader and CM, Rajasthan has started doing
the round. Meanwhile, there is a whisper that present MEA Minister Sushma
Swaraj may be made Minister without portfolio.
Split in Congress likely in Manipur ?
Political pundits foresee a split in the Congress party in Manipur.
Haaka Gandhis
Still in Shimla. Yesterday did not venture out of the Hotel on account
of Holi. Today my Respected Friend, a Retired Senior Bureaucrat, and
yours truly meet at a Coffee Shop, and over Decaffeinated Coffees and
Pastries. we get chatting.
Respected Friend: Last time we met you wanted to discuss Goa and Manipur
results... in Goa seems the unenthusiastic Leadership of the CM did
make BJP trip.. had Parrikar been declared CM nominee.. BJP would have
got 2/3rd majority.. Manipur ..huge gains for BJP..the Northeast Outreach
of BJP working...
Me: Just heard SC rejected Congress's plea to Stay Parrikar's swearing
in..
RF: And ordered a Floor Test immediately. Congress played its games
...first choosing a CM from a group of ex CMs...then the disconnect
between the Congress Observer ..Diggy ..and High Command.. Sonia is
overseas ...Rahul seems to be uncontactable ..old games of Congress...only
BJP moved at lightening speed and gave the Guv a list of its strength
in the House...this is what matters ...in the end ..and this is what
SC has ordered to be tested on the Floor of the House..even if Congress
had submitted a list enumerating its strength they'd have had some case..
M: And now with the dud support letter it submitted to the Manipur Guv...
Court will be extra cautious ...and so the Floor of the House is best
option to test the strength ..
RF: And there are so many precedences where the Number 2 Parties have
formed Governments..
M: Like there are cases where L2 have clinched Orders... here H2 has
formed Government ...
RF: Some say Diggy really botched up... he was the Rep on the scene
and seems his lethargic style did Congress in...or could also be his
Servitude... refrained from calling Rahul again after he did not take
his call..
M: Why ....doesn't Diggy have the mobile numbers of Rahul's cutlery
.... he could have called Rahul's Khadcha!!
RF: I also feel no Party wants to ally with Congress ..its Parasitical
past ...its alleged back stabbing and misusing Agencies to make Allies
grovel have made Parties wary of allying with Congress!
RF: And the other Cry Baby ..Bhenji...has got a response from EC on
her charge that EVMs were fixed..5 page reply ..my take is ..it would
be difficult to fix EVMs for even a Club Election ..the enormity of
Elections in Indiamakes fixing an impossibility...every Constituency
...the Button Panel position of Parties change ...
M: Khisyaani Bhenji Khumba nochche ..
RF: I think just a face saving ploy ... seems Congress not being able
to pin losses on a Scapegoat so Rahul has become incommunicado..they
say he is very much in Delhi...
M: Knowing Congress ...his domestic help and...... if his Doggies could
think ..they'd all be worried.....they could end up being the Scapegoats..
RF: If Aki tries to sell his Cycle to the Kabaadiwaala..he'd be told..its
a Chinese one ...even Kabaadiwala will refuse to buy it.. Dad switched
the Cycle ..handed him a Chinese one to match his Ally...Chinese Gandhis
( the real Gandhi was The Mahatma all others who say/portrayed as the
The Gandhis of India are...Chinese Gandhis..duplicate)

Open Letter to Sh Anil Swarup, IAS, Secretary Education, Government
of India.
Dear Shri Swarup,
I do not know whether you might be reading this. I also do not know
if some things that came to my mind have already been done or are not
possible to implement. But, I have a few constructive suggestions and
I have no doubt that if ever you read this, you are one person who might
examine the suggestions.
The mid day meal scheme provides nutrition to children all over the
country. Would it be possible for the doctors posted in the blocks to
do basic periodic medical check up for the children as well? Could it
be made a part of the scheme? It would cost nothing as the doctors are
already posted in blocks (or would be posted). Would it be possible
for the doctors to also speak to the children on basic hygiene?
Maybe as a part of the mid day meal scheme, children could be provided
periodically with a small bar of soap or toothpaste (or taught about
alternatives like ash in lieu of soap and neem twigs in lieu of toothbrush
and toothpaste).
The advantage of dovetailing these activities with the mid day meal
scheme would be that they would be institutionalised and monitored and
hence ensured. The soap or toothpaste might cost nothing to the government
if some companies like Baba Ramdev's might be persuaded to adopt this
project as part of their corporate social responsibility.

Discrimination in accepting resignation
Why should there be discrimination in accepting resignation among services,
such things result in bad blood and suspicion.

DATE WITH RTI

Non-receipt of RTI application sent by registered post
The RTI application was sent through Registered post and the same
was delivered in the respondent organization. However, the respondent
claimed that the RTI application was not received and hence, no
reply within the stipulated time could be provided to the appellant.
To ascertain the facts leading to the misplacement of the RTI
application filed by the appellant, the CIC directed the FAA,
Ministry of Home Affairs to inquire into the matter of the 'missing'
RTI application and to ascertain as to whether the RTI application
was actually misplaced or the CPIO had taken that plea to deny
information to the appellant. The FAA was directed to take appropriate
departmental action against the officers/officials responsible
for the misplacement of the RTI application, if required. A copy
of the inquiry report along with the action taken report was directed
to be provided to the Commission as well as to the appellant within
a period of six weeks. Further, a compensation of Rs. 2,500/-
was granted to the appellant. The CIC also observed that the First
Appellate Authority should give an opportunity of hearing to any
Appellant if the Appellant expressly wants to be heard.
Comments
Record keeping and proper maintenance of files is a key function
of any Public Authority. Every Public Authority should strive
to maintain a system where the records are maintained in a manner
from where they can be retrieved in a timely manner.
