CAPF Bill

It will be BLACK DAY in the history of CAPFs if this bill is passed by the Parliament. It seems Shri Narendra Modi ji Hon'ble Prime Minister and mot popular leader of the world has NOT been properly been briefed about the longtime effect on the morale of cadre officers who are the pillar of CAPFs and NOT the IPS officers, who are inducted on deputation at the level of DIG, IG and DG. Troops are directly commanded by junior officer ie Coy Commander and Battalion Commandant on International borders, Internal Security Duties, Elections Duties etc. If junior leadership has low morale and are disgruntled, how can you expect good results from them. See, Indian Army is one of the best Army in world because the leadership is not the borrowed but is their own. It seem, Hon'ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi ji, most popular in CAPFs, since celebrate Holi, Diwali etc with them, has not been briefed about the outcome of adverse effects of this bill in days to come. How can Government expect good results from the Forces, whose junior officer will have low morale resulting, bound to be disgruntled. Hon'ble Supreme Court must have considered all facts before pronouncing the decision in favor of CAPFs Cadre officers, which Government is reluctant to accept and hence bringing the bill in the Parliament. Hon'ble Prime Minister is humbly requested to kindly interact with CAPF's officers and retirees and save ruining the forces, on the selfish advice of senior IPS officers only. Should hear the views of Members of Parliament of opposition parties since Members of Ruling party, won't be able to speak frankly, even if they wish.

Only Raga move away from Politics

Rahul is the only reason he and his family should completely move away from politics to make congress win again until then winning is not possible.

Just Basic Common Sense.
just basic common sense.. Godi media.. WhatsApp university… complete capture of institutions.. capture of cinema & art for nonsense fictional propaganda… extortion of electoral funds.. crony capitalism…open brazen bribery for votes before elections .. brazen demand for votes in the name of the armed forces.. brazen divisive politics…fooling gullible people who have forgotten to use their grey matter blinded by their faith and hate for the other!

SIR is a scam
Congress cannot win the elections as the electorate votes have been stolen . Bihar 102 seats were manipulated. SIR is a scam. If you have disenfranchised voters , then they are refugees and UN needs to step in.

Change the leadership...having an incompetent, inefficient, intolerant n dumb guy, surrounded by ego boosting guys, is the cause of all issues being faced by congress...

Centre stage in party by RaGa
Reason is simple. When Rahul Gandhi is taking the centre stage in the party at the cost of sidelining leaders like Shashi Tharoor. Then we can’t expect anything!.

IAS Shortage

It should be filled by online selection exam for IAS because currently IAS officer selection procedure is difficult. I am extremely interested if this online exam happens

Private sector deputations?
How does that work, because once the deputation gets over the I (XYZ) S folks come back to the bureaucracy. Compartmentalization to limit the unchecked scope of powers might be a solution. Private sector deputations sounds much more like an eye wash.

Personnel are not honest
Indian Management personnel are not honest be they from top institutes. They will sell PSU banks secretly to their known people and vanish. Another wasteful exercise. Ex is Civil services. Have you seen their qualities?

Predictions are truly outstanding

Your predictions are truly outstanding. Maybe you can also tell us what’s going to happen in the Iran–Israel war next?

Most of the officials at higher and middle management in public sector banks are not sensitive to the bank clients, I have faced many times, once I have to take up matters to the chairman when madam was CMD then it was resolved and staff of most of all public sector banks are not behaving friendly.

“Use RTI as governance-enhancer”

The Economic Survey 2025-26 authored by the chief economic advisor and tabled in Parliament on Jan 29,2026, has called for a re-examination of the RTI Act, 2005.A good initiative.
While acknowledging the sunshine law as a powerful democratic reform and a tool for accountability against corruption,the economic survey says the Act was never intended “as a tool for idle curiosity”, nor as a mechanism to micromanage the government from outside.
Going further, the Survey suggests exempting brainstorming notes, working papers, and draft comments until they form part of the final record of decision-making, protection of service records, transfers, and confidential staff reports. It recommends exploring a possible ministerial veto to withhold information and proposed shielding certain categories of public service records, including transfers and staff-related reports of bureaucrats, from public scrutiny.Fair enough.
But,the survey is silent as to when would the ministerial veto be applicable-- that is,before the Information Commission decides an appeal, or after the Commission has ordered disclosure? This needs to be addressed.
The utility of the RTI Act in exposing major scams ( the Vyapam,the Adarsh Housing Society scams etc) is not forgotten. This was also used to question the RBI during the banking scams. The Economic Survey has now initiated a debate on a review of existing provisions..
One hopes,the law makers keep the importance of RTI in view as governance enhancer in the new era of Artificial Intelligence.

Role of CA in Appellate Tribunals

I would like to raise an important issue for consideration of the Government. Chartered Accountants are recruited as Members of Income Tax Appellate Tribunal. In no other Tribunals are the CAs recruited. CAs are not eligible to apply for CESTAT, GSTAT, State Sales Tax Tribunals, NCLT, NCLAT, CAT, SAT, etc. CAs cannot be compared with the Advocates or senior focernment functioneries who are bound by the Conduct Rules. Unlike the Advocates, the practising CAs are not court officers so as to be professionally practising their profession as per conduct rules of the Government. Practising CAs after entering the Tribunal cannot be free from their previous client-service provider relationship not only professionally but in their mindset as well. The profession of CAs is meant for rendering their professional services of accounting, auditing, financial advisory etc., but not meant to render judgments against the Income Tax Department. The sooner it is realised the better it is for the country.

RTI Act should be allowed to assist in court

If a proper judgment is passed, it helps in the Rule of Law. The RTI Act should be allowed to assist the court of law to dispensing justice. In specific cases, with the permission of the court, the RTI application should be allowed to procure information as it helps in better and quicker delivery of a fair verdict.

Much introspection and reforms needed in PSU.
A very much needed introspection and reforms to be undertaken in PSUs to eliminate squandering of public money . This introspection may be required in other areas of governance also.

Modi government will be remembered in history

The Modi government will be remembered in history forever. It has given life of dignity to the poorest of the poor ensuring food security, housing, toilets and peace. It has ensured fast growth of infrastructure and the economy. India is on its way to become a developed country. It has strongly attacked corruption and black money. Law and order has improved dramatically. BIMARU states have started growing fast because of excellent law and order. It has finished naxal terror. It has given fitting reply to terrorists from across the border. It has removed Article 370. It has always acted on its agenda of sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka vishwas. No wonder the corrupt and the enemies of the country are so much against Modi sarkar.

A myth called international law

It has repeatedly been proved that the international law is nothing more than a myth. Briefly, the wisest had put it in writing long ago, “Samrath ko nahi dos Gusai”. It means the powerful can’t be blamed. The violence used for religion or proselytization produces dictators. It leads to wars or tyranny if it can survive. International law was created and used for the same purpose. Wasn’t the UNO dead decades ago? Only the weak speak passionately for international law. Law students spend more than 20% of the time on mastering this attractive topic. It can procrastinate conflicts but can never produce solutions. Wars and pestilence hit the mankind. History of the world for the last 100 years supports it. Those who neither anticipate nor change radically in time, fall! The Mahabharat presents the best lesson: Asvathama Hato, naro va kunjaro va. The change in India in the last one decade has brought about the most valuable change in Indian policy. The advocates of the dead policy are shouting hoarse. We are ready to face the challenge of the emerging neo colonialism. India stands as the only shining example of peace advocacy.
