No real change in history has ever been achieved by discussions.
Is Gehlot, Manmohan Singh of Rahul Gandhi ?
In case Congress gets close of forming the Government political observers say Rahul Gandhi instead of becoming PM, would support Ashok Gehlot for the post of PM. Infact, Sonia Gandhi preferred Manmohan Singh for the post rather than becoming the PM.

It is said that former PM Devegowda has made hidden pact that his party would support the BJP after the Vidhan Sabha elections in forming the Government in Karnataka.
Ill advised move
It's hot today and my Lawyer Friend drags me to a nearby chilled Coffee Shop and over Chilled Frappes and Biscottis we get chatting.
Me: So VP has rejected the Impeachment Motion..just read the tweet of a PIL Expert Lawyer... he says the job of VP is to just verify the numbers..signatures... and send Motion to a 3 Member Committee..Postman hai kya!
Friend: As if the VP is just a bean - counter .... arre its his job to evaluate whether there is Merit in the Motion .....to put it simply....worth taking up.... does it prove the misconduct angle ....here the Motion was just full of innuendos ...
M: And he can decide Suo-Moto if he feels its just a politically motivated motion....or a Political Party doesn't like a Judgement..so it gets 50 MPs to sign a Petition and puts the SC into a logjam....this is not Democracy but Mobcracy!!
F: Chairman of RS is the litmus test for admission .....this ill advised move has RaGa written all over it.....only he can come up with such an immature plan....though its possible a well known Congi Lawyer could have needled him....
M: Practically all the senior Leaders deserted him...though Congress tried to save face by saying.... we did not ask them to sign the Motion... fact is a few of them even gave statements against this Motion...
F: Will Congress approach SC ....some say could call for a National Debate and cut its losses and save face. If it approaches SC... CJI need not recuse himself from his Duties....including Roster... as Motion has been rejected by Chairman of RS and this is an appeal against his rejection....so the CJI can constitute a Bench to hear this Petition..
M: And the 4 Judges should not be part of the Bench as they are now 'interested Parties'.... bias is clearly established...CJI too will not be part of this Bench...naturally!
F: Congress's hope was to ensure that CJI becomes a lame duck CJI till his retirement....
M: And now RaGa wants 15 minutes ....
F: What again 15 minutes.... he said this in Talkatora Stadium and he could have taken an hour to say what he wants to say....
M: Now Civil Society and some Religious Bodies objecting to the Minor's Rape Ordinance.
F: It was expected...just Google and check out which lot are involved max in rape of Minors...paedophilia...
M: Whatever they may say a strong deterrent was the need of the hour...
L: They say Death Sentences don't reduce Murders... arre how do they know... just remove the Death Sentence and then see the spurt in Murders...
M: What's this 'Save Constitution' that RaGa has launched...
F: Maybe he's atoning for the sins of his Elders... all of them amended Constitution umpteen number of times...and what all did Indhra did with Judiciary and Constitution...
M: The other day accompanied my Nephew to JNU ...he has to accompany his Dad to US...so some formalities had to be done..
F: Did you notice one glaring fact .... the average age of students is 56 and of the faculty 52...ha ha ....
M: Ha ha ..... yes at a Dhaba on the Campus did notice quite a few Oldie Students...
F: This lot has made being a Student into a Career... and financially they are doing pretty well...paid agitations etc.
We get busy finishing off the sandwiches and start talking about our passion... Golf

This sand will be suitable for road making, construction of building, etc. and is also likely to be used in glass industries after further refining.

Ministry of Finance to Think !
Govt. of India is running small saving schemes like PPF, SCSS, MIS etc in post offices and some schemes in Banks thru Ministry of Finance but there is no uniformity in operation of these schemes. Though different schemes have been opened with specific purpose and earns different rate of interest. Most of the Sr. citizens depend their livelihood from the interest of such schemes. They are old enough to go to post office and banks to draw even the interest. Govt. may bring at least some uniformity can be brought in their operation. For example PPF has facility for an extension of five years after the maturity and this can be done thrice where as SCSS has an option for an extension of three years after maturity only once. MIS of post office has no option of extension after maturity. One has to close the account and again fill up the application form for opening new MIS account. It is very difficult at the age of 75 or 80 years to close and open new account. Ministry of Finance can review the similar schemes and provide the option of extension of same scheme as per customer requirements whether two or three times of 3 years or 5 years. This also helps the Govt. to retain the money for longer period and utilise the money for their welfare schemes. Longer the period better for Govt. and also for the customer. Govt. to analyse and work out for some solution of extension in all schemes at least three times. This is only option. Customer may or may not opt for an extension of schemes. At least option should be available like PPF.

Plight of early PSU’ retirees
The request of Subramanian V to Govt is very genuine. As he mentioned about the non implementation of Pension Scheme by Maharatna Steel PSU is pathetic due to loss making. I request PM why maharani status has not been withdrawn. Also, there is an article in RSS mouth piece Organiser on April 11, 2013 that 25000 crore scam has been taken place. Govt should investigate the 70000 odd crore investment in SAIL units. The honest, sincere , qualified, dedicated executives are retired as AGM & DGM and some are taken VRS. The detailed project reports, the feasibility reports prepared by agencies should be investigated. The tender evaluation reports should be investigated. promotions, foreign tours, temporary transfers, falsified age affidavit holders(reduced age 4 to 6 years) has to be investigated.

Information regarding the assets disclosed by officers
The Appellant sought information regarding the assets disclosed by officers and staff in a certain Income Tax office, copy of the proactive disclosure made under section 4 (1) (b) of the RTI Act in Telugu Language and The IT Act in Tamil language. The PIO informed that the Act had not been printed in Telugu Language. The CIC ruled that the information with respect to the assets and liabilities of an employee qualifies as personal information within the meaning of Section 8(1)(j) of the Act. The Commission advised the Respondent to consider publishing the aforesaid information in Telugu Language for the benefit of the Public at large.
Comments
Many judicial fora have ruled that the information with respect to the assets and liabilities of an employee, which he discloses to his employer in compliance of the Service Rules applicable to him qualifies as personal information within the meaning of Section 8(1)(j) of the Act and such information cannot be directed to be disclosed unless the PIO is satisfied that larger public interest justifies disclosure of such information.
