Grapevine has it that several RSS and BJP leaders are working in Uttar
Pradesh from behind the curtain to weaken Narendra Modi.
Make in Steel for Made in India
Modi Government means business. According to Secretary Steel Ms Aruna
Sharma, the targeted and strategic interventions by the Government have
not just revived the Steel sector but also taken steps to ensure sustained
growth. The 7% Growth rate in this quarter, the contribution of Steel
is flagged. The Government had complete 360 degree approach by ensuring
protectionism within WTO regime, mechanism to bring down input costs,
interventions to ease out NPA, give fillip to further investments and
most important set stage to enhance the demand. The focus on infrastructure
will enable to enhance the demand in the Steel sector. The biggest input
is change in GFR by inserting the concept of 'life cycle cost''. This
will enable to have long life steel bridges, buildings and life saving
crash barriers made of Steel.The holistic approach by identifying all
issues and addressing each of them by coordinated efforts of all the
different ministries has been the mantra of this success. In short span
how corrective measures if well intentioned has been demonstrated to
result to contribute to growth rate and proving ability of the Government
to deliver and handhold the manufactures for Make in Steel for Made
in India.
No. 1 pe Bharat Maiyiyaa
Congress does not know what it stands for!!!
As it stands at the Exit Door!!
RaGa is a Zero!!
Being portrayed as a Hero!!
Merit is not the High Command's Cup of Tea!!
Beyond I and Mine High Command cannot see!!
Today its Footprint is a shadow of what it used to be!!
Max Credit should go to RaGa ji!
Now even Launda Aki has realized this!!
Recent SP posters give the other Launda RaGa the miss!!
Either Congress ka The End is near!!
Break-up is Sonia's other fear!!
Ji Hazoori is now fading away!!
To Strong Leaders its giving way!!
Yes even the de-spined ones will grow spines!!!
For MMS types Sonia whines!!
The other way out ..if in UP SP-Congress make it!!
In Alliance formation Congress will agree in rear seat it will sit!!
Though as of today only chance for Congress is Punjab!!
Baaki States haalath kharaab!!
In Punjab if Congress wins it will be Amrinder wins!!!
But for him Congress would have fallen like 9 Pins!!
Hopefully he will give Rahul the toffee back!!
And with Toffee a Doggy Biscuit pack.
At a rally Rahul had handed him a Toffee on stage!!
At that time Amrinder hid his rage!!
Kaam bolta hai....ho gaya phuss!
Bhagwan ji ne karwaa di buss!!
Those who could not laugh openly guffawed within!!
Some laughed within but showed a wry grin!
When Aki went to a famous Kaashi Mandir!!
The Lord made him look like a Bandar!!
Power Cut when he was inside!!
Her hussi even his Wife found it hard to hide!!
And to appease Muslims both Laundas sat in Namaz pose!!
To correct pose Poojari gave them both dose!!
By Congress Mukht Bharat Modi means!!
Remove Congress via electoral means!!
He does not mean lynch karro!!
Or maaro ya marro!!
Freedom on Campuses is welcome!!
But near Treason it should not even come!!
Debate is good and Ideas are good too!!
But not so when at the Nation these boo!!
Indians should not allow any infringement to take place!!
To stand up for India they should race!!
Confucius say... Pseudo waale dinn beethe re bhaiya!!
Abh Number One pe aathi hai humaari Mayiyaa (Nation)!!

It is true of many services
Yes, there are too many ACS level and DG level posts in the top services
of the government. This is true of many services. Look at the recent
addition of 8 HAG+ level posts, 24 HAG level posts and 191 SAG level
posts in a Technical service (ITS-Indian Telecommunication Service).
This is being done when there is hardly any technical work left to be
done in the Dept of Telecom which is their parent department. The real
technical work is being done by BSNL/MTNL to which they don't want to
go on absorption. Addition of high level posts will only add to huge
expenses of the govt as they will require office space, supporting staff,
vehicles, office equipment etc.

Unfortunately 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 Sg 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.

Shameful behaviour of minister
What a shameful behaviour of one of the minister in Bihar Cabinet. Calling
the Prime Minister a Naxalite and telling his supporters to beat the
Prime Minister's picture with shoes. This was shoebeating the country
of which he is the citizen as the Prime Minister represents the nation.
Such like people are criminals and do not deserve to hold any public
office. Nitish Kumar will do well to dismiss this man from his cabinet.
Otherwise yesterday it was Prime Minister tomorrow the man will ask
people to beat Nitish Kumar's picture with shoes. Why picture ? Such
like man can order even physical beating.

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.
