Any individual, group, organisation or any sensible person can not ask for such comparison. So first of all please withdraw this question of comparison. In democracy like India, any thing may happen because already in past there have been such PMs like Deve Gowda, I K Gujral, Rajiv Gandhi etc. Comparing a hard working Yogi Rashta Bhakta present PM with a person like Rahul Gandhi is a crime against India, Self and India Democracy. So in the interest of better sense please withdraw question asking for such comparison.

Priyanka Gandhi’s entry into politics means a lot
With Priyanka Gandhi‘s entry into politics, Narendra Modi certainly has a challenge waiting in the Lok Sabha polls. Rahul Gandhi may still be too young to sit on PM’s chair but certainly Congress party has loads of other senior leaders who can be PM with Priyanka ensuring party's win.

Rahul Gandhi may not be PM
Rahul Gandhi will certainly not become the PM after 2019 Lok Sabha polls. It could be Narendra Modi again but with the consent of the NDA allies who may have their own choice of PM candidate.

Abolishing IT is impractical
In whispersinthecorridor of 28th, a comment is made about abolishing personal income tax. Sorry to say that this proposal is totally impractical and will lead to disastrous consequences for country's finances and programmes financed from revenue. There is no question of taking such a step just to win votes for one election.

On EVM hacking-Press Conference in London
Can't we have some mechanism by which the party who are making allegations can be booked after allegations found false and baseless ? Lot of money and time is wasted in discussions or debates or if committee is appointed to investigate. Party or person making allegations must be knowing that these are false. There must be some deterrent so that people avoid 'throw and run' kind of allegation from fear of being prosecuted.

The new PM of India should be PM MODI.
Why?
a) The Economy has grown fast in 5 years. Likely to grow at 9.3% in decade ahead.
b) National Security has focus. China stopped in its tracks at Doklam & Maldives.
c) Forex Reserves highest since 1947 at 400 billion dollars !
d) No terrorist attack on India in 5 years!!
e) Swatch BHARAT is a huge success . LPG to rural India touching 9 crores families . Rural india is on Mobile (890 million ). Banking accounts opened.
f) Dignity of Labour back in India!!

Induct officers from other Specialist Services
In my view time has now come to induct officers from other Specialist Services IRS, IAAS, IRAS etc in CBI especially given the scenario that all the major cases being tackled by CBI these days invariably involve financial and economic crimes , which these officers are better equipped to investigate.

My choice is Narendra Modi. Rahul Gandhi may be a well meaning person but not a PM material.

Regional parties to play major role in 2019 elections
I am of the view that regional political parties will play an instrumental role in 2019 Lok Sabha elections with deciding the fate of Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi. Modi is passionate orator and a highly persuasive political propagandist, but may not retain power in this election, due to his retrograde steps. Besides, Rahul Gandhi will realize his political ambition with the support of regional parties.

Asthana was bailed out of CBI mess by his friends and now next few days he shall be placed at some important DG post in NIA or elsewhere. This reflects the total mess that we are in. Corrupts have their way as never before.

Political system of our country needs to be matured
Yes that is where political system of our country needs to be matured on ground level. He worked so hard and innovative but no takers for his work. These kind of things promote bureaucrats to alienate with political parties. Sad.

Many bureaucrats are groomed under UPA regime and are cat on the wall. They knew the weakness of politicians very well. But there is a community i.e. a Telugu Niyogi Brahmin who are great administrators can save this country, Former PM PVN rao, VV giri, Sarvepalli radhakrishna, Dr KLRao, VB raju, Prakasham pantullu, Dr. Burugula ramakrishna rao, etc. Many of these community migrated to USA and Europe and australia because of The honesty, sincerity and high qualifications. it is the time that the Govt should utilise the services for the nation.

Whispersinthecorridors.com has been regularly throwing up names of probables for appointment as union Cabinet Secretary. This would make the job of PM easier in selecting the right person for the job without gender bias.
Women have held key portfolios in the past. Madam Indira Gandhi as de jure PM, President of India, an Italian lady as the de facto PM of India during the UPA era, Speaker (LS), Governors of States etc.
But, all in political domain. None as chief of Indian bureaucracy.
Regrettable. Country’s successive CEOs failed to locate a woman officer to fill the position of union Cabinet Secretary ? Whether the omission was inadvertent or a conscious decision, one wonders? But, this surely, reveals the deeply ingrained misogynistic mindset of successive Prime ministers.
Are women officers less competent , less manipulative, less pliable, more difficult to handle than their male counterparts?
Let us go down the memory lane. Recall super sessions of senior civil servants like Ms Roma Majumdar , Ms Reva Nayyar and Ms Sudha Pillai despite their relative merit and inter se seniority vis-à-vis male aspirants. Ms Sarla Grewal was , appointed as Principal Secy to the then PM- Rajiv Gandhi, but not as Cabinet Secretary.
One hopes. PM Modi takes the call by allowing merit-based, out-of-turn promotions of a lady officer when the extended tenure of P K Sinha ,present Cab Sec, expires in June 2019. No UPA trick. Let no one keep the seat of cabinet secretary warm for facilitating the posting of a junior favourite of the male specie.
Recall, how Senior-most IAS officers were even shunted out as Chairpersons of Trade Fair Authority of India with status and pay scale of Cabinet Secretary. Motive : to plant a favourite, otherwise junior, as Cabinet Secretary.
The wind seems to be blowing in favour of Modi returning as PM after 2019 elections. The exercise must begin before EC’s Code of Conduct comes into operation so that the new incumbent could work as under-study to present CS.
If, PM Modi wishes to postpone selection of new Cabinet Secretary on ethical consideration till his re-election, it is his prerogative.

Expenditure on Advertisement by the Modi Government
The news on the issue is misleading. It needs to be clarified that the expenditure quoted mainly includes expenditure on the advertisements related to public awareness and promotion of public interest. Incomplete information amounts to lie.
