UP politics

Without alliance it will be an easy win for BJP. If SP wants dalit votes it needs Congress because Congress will also bring a little bit of Brahmin votes. If SP fights alone then it will be the next TMC so it depends how Akhilesh Yadav plays his cards.

Murugan: Link to alliance
Murugan will act as a link to TVK for an alliance. Moreover Arlekar has been appointed as Governor also.

Hindutva existence is more Important than Gen-Z today!

A wise understanding for Hindus Protesting all over the country under various banners should deeply understand that the existence of Hinduism is more important today & only the ruling BJP can control this sensitive issue. We have seen in the past decade the upliftment of Hinduism in our country, many examples can be drawn including the making of multiple Mandir Corridors, Jagrans & Jamming sessions on Indian culture all over the country. Today Major countries of the world are under threat of Conversion & they don’t have any way out to save their religion & values. This is the time to stay united & save the country from hidden enemies. Government should create a ministry for resolving all issues related to Protest & Demonstrations by Gen-Z.

Bureaucracy and corruption

90 percent of bureaucrats are corrupt. And most who defend have allegations against them.

Election machinery

How dumb does one have to be to defend the election machinery when what is being criticized is the way people were removed from electoral rolls. What use are these robust safeguards of when the electoral rolls themselves are allegedly rigged? Idk what these bureaucrats want, are they not satisfied with everything they sucked from the common man while in service that they have to do this now to suck more?

Suitable place for Protests in Delhi

Protests are part of the normal democratic process. Delhi being the Capital of the country, there will be frequent protests. The existing place Jantar Mantar is not only small but is surrounded by busy commercial establishments and offices

I suggest the National Stadium near India Gate would be a suitable place for protests. It is an enclosed space and crowd management would be easy. It is near Parliament House and a delegation of protestors can go easily to meet /hand over their grievances to the Government.

Government should consider this option.

Opposition unity?

Just wait for another month. The scamgressis, SP and AAP would be at loggerheads with each other. If Pappu manages to get popular, he would obviously demand more UP seats. Maybe even break off the UP alliance. And WRT Punjab, AAP wouldn't want to lose the elections against Scamgressis. So where's the UNITY? Each of them have their own personal agendas. So the question isn't about BJP but about scoring their own brownie points for the elections ahead. Abh samjha?

AI in the IT department?
What will happen if manpower in the Income Tax department is replaced by AI on a large scale? Automated processes and AI might well be a game changer.

Rahul Gandhi

There's no internal democracy in his own party. He is joking. At the best he can only slander and create chaos. Nation needs a serious opposition leader who makes sense.

Dialogue

What one needs is dialogue with the people, not security against the people.

Irrelevance of regional parties

Most regional parties have understood that their politics is done. They are irrelevant post 2024. The remaining ones yet to be decimated are about to understand this pretty soon.

CJP is AAP youth wing

This is absolutely true, CJP is AAP -Arvind Kejriwal 's youth wing and they should be exposed as they are denying that they have any political ambitions which is an absolute lie. A perfect analysis of CJP is done superbly by Raju Parulekar, who has called out this farce from day 1!!!

Can a wife file an application on behalf of her husband?

The respondent informed that the RTI Application was filed by Ms. Saroj Gupta and as the information was sought regarding report of auditing pertaining to grant of said 3rd MACP of Sh. Mangat Goyal, the same was denied under Section 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act. It was counter argued by Sh. Mangat Goyal that the Appellant is his wife who had filed the RTI Application on his behalf seeking internal audit report related to him and denial of the information u/s 8(1)(j) of the RTI Act is wrong. The respondent further stated that the report is a 10 years old record and is not traceable in their official records. Considering the fact that Shri Mangat Goyal represented the Appellant during the hearing, the CIC ruled that the plea of exemption under Section 8(1)(j) does not survive. The CIC directed to examine the instant RTI Application and furnish a revised reply within four weeks. In the event, no records on such points are available in their office, the fact should be categorically reflected in the revised reply of the PIO.
Comments
It is preferable for an individual to file an application directly under the RTI Act instead of asking a friend or a relative to seek information on one’s behalf.
