श्रीमती प्रियंका चतुर्वेदी अब कांग्रेस पार्टी की राष्ट्रीय प्रवक्ता नहीं रहेंगी।  अब वे शिवसेना का वह चेहरा हैं, जो अब तक टीवी चैनलों की डिबेट में कांग्रेस पर लगने वाले आरोपों से अपनी पार्टी का बचाव करती रही हैं। उन्होंने कांग्रेस से अपनी उपेक्षा और बदतमीजी करने वालों को माफ़ करने के लिए पार्टी से इस्तीफ़ा दे दिया। पार्टी के नेताओं की सही-गलत हर तरह की बयानबाजी पर कांग्रेस का बचाव करने वाली प्रियंका चतुर्वेदी इस समय खुद कांग्रेस में अकेली पड़ गई थी। नेताओं द्वारा दूसरी पार्टियों की महिलाओं पर तो लांछन लगाने की घटनाएं चुनावी माहौल में आप खूब देख रहे होंगे, लेकिन प्रियंका चतुर्वेदी से तो कांग्रेस के ही नेताओं ने बदतमीजी की और उन्हें माफी भी मिल गई। हैरानी तो इस बात की है कि माफी देने वाला शख्स कोई और है। नाम है ज्योतिरादित्य सिंधिया। जैसा नाम, वैसा काम। भले ही अब देश में लोकतंत्र हो, पर ज...

Former Central Information Commissioner Shailesh Gandhi in his facebook-post has made shocking revelation said to have been obtained under RTI Act and published in a social media that every year from 2010 to 2016 about 700 people were given total agricultural-loans of about 60000 crores every year with an average of about rupees 90 crores per individual every year on a highly subsidised nominal rate of just four-percent per annum. This is just a mockery of economy where ultra-rich are getting tax-exemptions in name income from agriculture, and such heavy loans at highly subsidised rate of just four-percent per annum. It may not be surprising if some of these might have availed loan-waivers granted in name of agricultural loans. There must be a limit of loans sanctioned by banks in name ...

Rotary International is ideally known for being a service-club with motto ‘Service above Self’ having a four-way test ritually read at start of meeting in Rotary Clubs world-wide. But it seems that with change of times, this four-way test is losing its shine when many Rotarians are themselves a failure when put to this four-way test. Many Rotarians especially from ultra-rich elite category are crossing all limits of decency in Rotary events overlooking difference between entertainment and vulgarity. Rotary clubs in India have become societies to exhibit and compete in richness. There are Rotary Clubs in India which have even turned intellectual regular meetings into whisky-parties to ensure adequate attendance in front of gust-speakers. Sensible Rotarians are mute spectators to all such...

It refers to welcome news about 200 American companies shifting their manufacturing-units from China to India. It may be recalled that earlier on 09.7.2018 Prime Minister of India and President of South Korea jointly inaugurated largest manufacturing-unit in the world in a big 35-acre plant with capacity to produce 120 million mobile-phones set up by South Korean company Samsung in Noida (India) in tune with ‘Make in India’ concept. Earlier also way back in 2015, leading aircraft-manufacturer Airbus Industry (France) had announced investing $ two-billions in India for manufacture of aircraft-parts. India is largest consumer-base after China and can devise ways so that global manufacturing-giants may be forced to set up manufacturing-units in India if they desire their brand-names being ...

It refers to much talked-about TV interview of Prime Minister Narender Modi with film-star Akshay Kumar which though being non-political yet gave a big political signal in case of need where Prime Minister was in full praise for West Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee for personal cordial relations between them to the extent that Mamta Banerjee still now regularly sends Bengali kurtas and sweets to Narender Modi. Otherwise political bitterness between the two is evident from their speeches in rallies for poll-campaigns. Unfortunately such artificial public-exhibition of political bitterness tends to create personal bitterness between supporters and cadres of politically rival politicians. Time has come to induce a touch of cordiality in poll-campaigns and in Parliament between politic...

 India should issue series of postage stamps on selfless Jain monks and coin on Mahavir Swamy It is indeed a matter of pride that Jain community is honoured by USA through naming a street in Chicago as Mahavir Marg. Jains are basically in India with the community being the highest contributor of tax per individual. Unfortunately this community has minimum growth-rate after Parsis where share of Jains in population has declined to 0.37 percent in 2011-census as compared to 0.40 percent in 2001-census with fertility rate of just 1.2 against replacement rate of 2.1. This vegetarian community is the flag-bearer of nicest ancient Indian traditions in terms of religion, talent and tax-contributor. Selfless society has in recent past has witnessed many ultra-talented youth and rich families le...

Department of Personnel and Training DoPT fixed a fees of rupees 4000 for lectures in conducting workshops for government-staff on various aspects including on handling applications filed under Right-To-Information Act. Surprisingly there is no provision of adding Goods and service Tax GST which is presently 18-percent on this amount fixed long back thus practically further reducing the fees to just rupees 3390 for those coming under GST network. DoPT should not only upgrade the fees reasonably, but also direct all departments, ministries and others to compulsorily add GST to newly fixed amount for those coming under GST network. Many departments and ministries spend exorbitantly to hire taxis for pick-up and dropping the persons delivering lectures, where these taxis are paid for ru...

Female staff must not be posted at residences of judges of higher courts to prevent such allegations true or false It refers to copies of cleverly-drafted detailed affidavit along with supporting enclosures sent on 19.04.2019 by a former female employee of Supreme Court to 22 judges of the Apex Court levelling serious charges of sexual harassment against Chief Justice of India CJI Ranjan Gogoi leading CJI to react as some bigger forces against him just before important poll-cases. Similar allegations were earlier levelled against a retired Chief Justice of India and a retired Supreme Court judge when both of them were holding important constitutional posts at time of levelling of allegations. While the retired CJI was forced to resign from his post, the retired judge managed to remai...
