Rahul Gandhi stands nowhere in front of Modi. He cannot handle a single situation in the country.

Gandhis living in Cuckoo land
Kapil Sibal: Leadership in cuckoo land… I want a Sab ki Congress. Some want a ‘Ghar ki Congress’. This statement by Kapil Sibal below clearly states the Congress Party thinking as led by the Gandhis. The Gandhis are living in Cuckoo Land. Nobody trusts them in India today. A complete whitewash will occur in 2024 and BJP will win hands down. My prediction: 400 seats by BJP.

The Complainant stated that his Ultrasonography (USG) Chest was done in Base Hospital Delhi Cantt. At that time, there were two lady doctors only in the dark room, one was from army and the other was the doctor who did his USG Chest. During USG, both these female doctors did not call any male attendant and his USG was performed in absence of a male attendant. In this connection, the complainant sought the information about whether two lady doctors can do ultrasound test of a male patient alone in any military hospital in USG room in absence of a male attendant and the relevant rules. The CPIO informed that only such information can be provided which is available and existing. The CIC noted that the application consists of questions rather than information as defined in the RTI Act and therefore, upheld the reply of the CPIO.

Technically, the order is legal and proper as the information about the rules which exist can only be provided. As per law, whenever a male doctor examines a female patient, it should be in the presence of a female attendant. However, there are no specific guidelines regarding the reverse situation - examination of a male by a female doctor.

Debate about any comparison between MODI and all others is a non entity as all of them even combined together do not stand anywhere. No opposition leader can match Modi's qualities.

All 1990 batch IAS officers empanelled as Secretary in GoI
Proud moment for the 1990 batch of IAS in Orissa. All IAS officers of this batch have been empanelled for Secretary or Secretary equivalent posts in Govt of India. It is indeed a matter of great pride for Orissa in specific and for the country in general to find all bureaucrats of 1990 batch, in Orissa cadre to have been empanelled, if not in one go , but in totality , as Secretary and Secretary equivalent in Govt of India. Hard work and public Centricity never go unnoticed and these should have been the major attributes ,for empanelment of the whole lot of 1990 batch in Orissa to get such great honor, because any IAS when he enters the service ,his deep inclination and wishful thinking to be empanelled finally as Secretary Govt of India. Congratulations to all and salutations to the CM of the state to have groomed the officers in such a magnificent manner.

Very true Rajsekhar. But why should we compare them at all? Modi is today the tallest leader in India. Rahul Gandhi is a non entity.

Who will be new Chairman of CERC?
Hope a technocrat becomes the Chairman of the Authority. There are very many eminent electrical engineers in the country and they should get the opportunity without fail.

Whether it is Rahul, or Mamata or Kejriwal against Modi or all of them collectively against Modi result will remain the same Modi returns in 2024. How can anyone think of such a comparison ?

Opposition is very strong but Congress is scattered due to the leadership crisis. The Modi government is a big failure in so many ways.

In praise of new LG of Delhi
For the first time the Modi government appointed a man V K Saxena with proven capability outside the traditional coterie of people from politics and bureaucracy to the post of Lt Governor of Delhi. I do not know him personally but he has shown his capabilities in abundance in Khadi turn over. In my book ‘Quest for Civility’ which I sent to the Prime Minister, I have requested the Prime Minister if India wants to progress we need reforms and break the ring that surrounds the power centre and thus prevent use of a vast talent available in the country.

Off late, protesters all over the country are blocking national/state highways to highlight their grievances. Yesterday, Delhi-Gurgaon roads were blocked by protestors seeking to raise an AHIR regiment in the Army. This caused a lot of inconvenience to thousands of commuters. Last year farmers blocked highways connecting Delhi-Gurgaon and Delhi-UP for nearly a year. While people have the right to protest against the Government(s) policies, they have no right to block roads etc and cause inconvenience to others. The Government of India should make a Law to regulate such protests. No protest on national/State highways, important roads within capital cities etc. should be permitted.
