Silent Voter....

Gurmehar has been demobilized,
On orders of whom she was mobilized!!

Reports say the threats to her came from 'inside'!!
By someone who was supposed to be on her side!!

So these people may take it to next level!!
So that more charges on ABVP they can level!!

Wherever she is give her Security!!
What her so called friends can do there is no surety!!

Her alleged Handler has been tweeting!!!
In a way her chest Handler has been beating!!

Project Gurmehar proves anti Modi lot innovating !!
I think more Gurmehars they will be creating!!

With every Gurmehar correct errors in previous one!!
Quite a few errors the current Gurmehar had done!!

In the end kya kiya this Gurmehar ne achieve!!
Maybe a slot in next Big Boss House I believe!!

As per plan yesterday Congress and AAP jumped in!!
Into Gurmehar's created din!!

Politicians should not be allowed inside (Campus)!!
In Campuses only Students should 'study and reside'!!!

This election the silent voter is giving Pseudos pain!!!
On BJP votes silent voters karr rahe rain!!

Pseudos and their Pally Media abuse Modi!!
Apne aap apni kabbar inno ne hai khodi!!

As they go bad to worse!
At them via his Vote karr raha hai silent voter curse!!

Latest ...Delhi Gurudwara elections!!
Congress flunky Sarna was winning as per projections!

AAP supported Dal toh ho gaya hai drown!!

Sarna kept saying AD distributing booze!!
Booze found in a House ..guess whose!!

In Sarna's relatives House!!
So Voters in booze they wanted to douse!

Delhi Gurudwara results giving Amrinder and Kejri tension!!!
Because this result means AD+BJP very much in contention!!

Now Priyanka being billed as The Strategist!!!!
Then Vadra should be billed as The Analyst!!

And Mummy the Congress Orchestra Conductor!!!
And Rahul is The Deductor!!!

All the drama will come to a naught!!!
Congress is now a downhill juggernaut!!

Just 0.1% fall in GDP post Demonetisation!!
MMS had said Demo would trip the Nation!!

Indians have taken Demo in their stride!!!
Only the Netas affected cried!!

MMS reputation is so low that will not affect it!!!
Lowest point it's already hit!!

Confucius says.... Sardarji Chamchagiri chadho (leave)!

Why so many Additional Secretaries In Ministries/Depts of Govt of India ?

Writer has rightly observed in WIC 27.2.17 'ACS grade in ample-waste of resources'. Like ACS in State Govts, large no. of Additional Secretaries (all from monopolised one service only-IAS) posted in Govt of India are sheer loot and waste of Public Money. They should go back to serve public in State cadres. In Govt of India, approval of major decisions end at Joint Secretary level (again controlled by IAS); only a few go to Secretary for approval, then why should IAS have so many posts of Addl. Secretaries in any Ministry/Deptt. There should be only ONE Addl Secy in any Ministry/dept who should be FA and also be Acting Secretary, in the absence of Secretary. All other AS level officer should be removed from Ministry/Dept and posted either in attached offices or sent back to State Govt. PM Modi should be apprised of this BUREAUCRATIC SCAM BY ias.
