POLITICS

This is History (533)
Perhaps there was no alternative left for them and the risk had to be taken.

Some RSS, BJP leaders against Modi in UP polls ?

Are some leaders of RSS and BJP working against the Prime Minister Narendra Modi in UP Assembly elections ? Reason is simple- they do not want Modi to emerge more stronger. Only an investigation would clear the air in this matter.

Dissidence in BJP likely after UP polls ?

Grapevine has it that five to six dozen BJP MPs may rally against Narendra Modi after UP Assembly elections if the party fails to garner enough seats to form the government in the state.

Even RSS can't get any appointment done in Modi govt

Believe it or not, even RSS can't get any appointment done in Modi government going out of way. It is simply because Modi goes by record and reputation of the officer and nothing else.

Modi ka HarrWord sunno..
In Harward they don't teach patriotism!!!
Yes they teach you sheer Opportunism!!

They do not teach Imaandaari!!!
To the most honest Harward Degree nahi hothi jaari!!

Oxford/Cambridge don't teach 'how not to be spineless'!!
We know how spinelessness had got us in a mess!!

None of these Colleges teach how to say no!!!
And how to wrong Orders not to bow!!

See what a Non Harward PM has achieved!!!
From so many ailments India he relieved!!

Corruption for one!!!
This War he has clearly won!!

The policy paralysis is now a thing of the past!!!
We are now moving ahead fast!!

Social schemes that are not Dole!!!
In generating employment play a role!!

And pilfering is down...not like the past!!
When 8 paisa reached of every Rupee cast!!

Dirt in more than one way being cleaned!!!
From accepting/living with dirt we are also being weaned!!

Diplomatically improving India's ties!!!
And exposing Pakistan's lies!!

Paki Army now knows India will hit back harder!!!
Why do you think its quiter on the Border!!

Zero appeasement and Vikas for all!!
So its no secret why Opposition wants this Government to fall!!

Modi's got us used to a PM who slogs for us!!!
Not on his Family but on us he does fuss!!

What is the fun in politics if nothing for self!!
What is the use power without pelf!!

He has changed the rules of The Game!!
For making politics all work and no fun Modi they blame!!

Confucius says ...and they know as times goes by!!
To coming back to power the can say bye bye!!

Why IAS alone is targeted ?

Unfortunately, it is the IAS alone which is targeted from within & without. The language is almost un-parliamentary; recall a statement from Manmohan Singh using the words ' loot' & plunder for demonetisation while he closed eyes when Scams happened under his nose. I wonder how much the commentator knows about the functioning of Go I. With the expansion of government responsibilities, those meant to execute increase in no. & quality. Public has not forgotten when Chidambaram suddenly created 100 posts of Ch. Comm of IT. & he justified it. So compare what M/o HRD did in 1995 & what it does NOW.

" Bihari babus"


By threatening Bihar's ruling dispensation that their officers will no longer follow verbal orders, the Bihar chapter of IAS biradri has exposed itself threadbare. Why were they not insisting on "written orders" from competent authorities all these years , as ordained by Conduct Rules ? This explains why there is rampant corruption in the State leading to successive scams.

Check degradation of health care


Degradation of the hospital, doctors and the health industry has been going on for long. High time government brings a regulator fixing charges for each test treatment etc. All those who use mal-practices be banned and punished severely including the doctors.
