POLAVARAM PROJECT REVERSE TENDERS : How can a Contractor who cannot build something for Rs. 2.9 billion, build it for Rs. 2.3 billion? :

♛The People of Residual Andhra Pradesh State in India seem to have fallen from pan to oven. Chandra Babu Naidu the former Chief Minister was the Pan. The New CM Jaganmohan Reddy is the Oven.♝

♛There were allegations against the previous TDP Government that massive corruption took place in Polavaram Contracts. Some of these allegations may be true. Solution for that problem ought to have been to initiate a CBI Inquiry or some other Independent Inquiry. There is also a need to identify the accounts to which the bribes and kickbacks had gone and attach/confiscate them.♝

♛Instead of doing that Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy's Government chose to cancel the existing contracts and go for new Reverse Tenders. In Indian Bazars, prices double every five years. Hence, in India, cancelling existing contracts and calling for fresh tenders should normally lead to price escalations and not savings.♝

♛Addressing a Rally at Rajahmundry, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi was reported to have said on 2nd April 2019. http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra-pradesh/2019/apr/02/polavaram-an-atm-for-babu-bhallala-pm-1959137.html

♛"...The TDP government, however, does not want to complete Polavaram and is not spending the allotted money properly... As a result, the project cost escalated. ... Polavaram is the lifeline of farmers and quenches people's thirst. However, for the U-turn Babu and TDP, Polavaram is an ATM. They draw money from it...". Prime Minister also compared the then Chief Minister as Babu Bhallala.♝

♛Now, Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy's Government claimed that they saved Rs.0.58 billion, by giving the Polavaram Left Connectivity Project Contract to some Max Infra Company for Rs. 2.31 billion. Earlier the same Company was said to have got the same Contract for Rs. 2.92 billion; thus leaving a Savings of Rs. .58 billion. Those who want details can read https://www.aninews.in/news/national/general-news/public-money-amounting-rs-58-crore-saved-in-polavaram-project-reverse-tender-andhra-cm20190921010347/

♛What is not known is: How a Company which could not complete the work for Rs.2.92 billion earlier, can complete it for Rs. 2.31 billion. Only CMO can explain. ♝

IMRAN KHAN, PRESIDENT OF PAKISTAN HAS TO FREE HIMSELF FROM TALIBAN TERRORISM :
♛On 13.9.2019, speaking at Muzaffarabad in POK, Mr. Imran Khan, President of Pakistan is reported to have said:
♛"I want to tell India that, by detaining thousands of people, you are pushing people into extremism. People will rise against India, and it is not just about Indian Muslims, there are 1.25 billion Muslims around the world. They all are watching this."
♛By instigating Muslims all over the World, Mr. Imran Khan like the al qaeeda's founder Osama Bin Laden seems to be leading the World Muslims towards mass self-destruction and annihilation.
♛There is a Sanskrit saying "ajAnAn dAhAtmyA patatu SalabhAs tIvra-dahanE". English: Moths fall in fire, being unaware of the combustive nature of the fire.
♛Like other World Religions, Islam too has its own strengths and weaknesses. It has a long way to go help people who feel that they need it and cherish it. Religious bigots who have unduly enlarged images of their own religion, should not drive gullible lay persons to enter into suicidal campaigns. Essentially Religions are expected to be Private encounters and rendezvous between an individual and his-her supposedly existent God. (991418)

WASTAGE OF RESOURCES: A Nation which wastes its resources can never prosper! :
♛On 12th Aug. 2019, Retd. Admiral Arun Prakash made some observations on Indians suffering from linguistic, religious, caste fissures, and that we are wasting our time on temples and mosques.
♛Leaving aside Retd. Admiral Arun Prakash's observations on linguistic, religious, caste fissures, even on harmonious days we waste our resources.
♛Lok Manya Bal Gangadhar Tilak is reported to have started the Sarvajanik Ganesh Utsav (Public Ganesh Worship Festival) in 1893. He might have had great intentions and objects of uniting Indians for the purpose of Freedom Struggle.
♛Today, we have no such dire need. Unfortunately, today's Ganesh Festivals have become Exhibitionist, Extremely Expensive, involving leakage of Human endeavors, on events which could have been simpler affairs, with least inconvenience to People.
♛Ganesh festivals have also become Lucrative Businesses for goons and street urchins to collect donations from wealthy bureaucrats, merchants, industrialists, spend a small part of collections on frills, and make such Super Profits which a Normal Manufacturing Unit cannot make even during days of Boom.

♛Mr. Manmohan Singh wants Modi Government to reach out to all sane voices and thinking minds.
♛He wants the Government to find ways of steering the economy out of 'this man-made crisis'.

JUDICIAL TRANSFERS, Madras High Court to Meghalaya High Court :

♛Madras High Court is reported to have 75 judges. It is one of the earliest High Courts of India, on 26th June 1862, along with the High Courts of Bombay and Calcutta. Bombay HC too has 75 judges. Only Allahabad HC with 83 judges exceeds Madras and Bombay High Courts, in the strength of Judges.
♛Meghalaya High Court is one of the smallest High Courts in the country, with 3 Judges, inclusive of its Chief Justice.
♛Though Chief Justices of all the High Courts may have same Official Status as per protocol, expectation is that Judges of good seniority, greater capabilties and larger HRD skills are given to manage Courts of 75 judges, whereas a newly promoted Chief Justice is given smaller High Courts. After proving their effectiveness and honesty, they will be moved to difficult-to-manage High Courts.
♛This type of wisdom may not work in political and bureaucratic appointments. Ms. Nirmala Sitaraman may be given the key portfolio of Finance, Ms. Smriti may be given HRD Ministry straight away. Similarly, Mr. Thakur, DGP of Residual Andhra Pradesh with proven abilities as DGP of Police, has been shifted as shifted as DGP of Stationery and Printing.
♛Now, let our Readers imagine, what could be the possible reasons for moving the CJI of Madras HC Ms. Vijaya Kamlesh Tahilramani , on transfer to Meghalaya High Court as Chief Judges? (99617)

JUDICIAL AFFAIRS: Resignation of Chief Justice of Madras High Court :

♛As Supreme Court Collegium has rejected the representation of Ms. Vijaya Tahilramani, Chief Justice of Madras High Court, is reported to have decided to resign in protest.
♛If it is the intention of the Collegium that there should be rotation of Judges and Chief Justices between good centers and bad centers, then the Collegium has to design a Transfer Policy of Rotation and adhere to it meticulously. What is the Collegium's Transfer Policy?
♛Mrs. Vijaya Tahilramani is reported to be the Seniormost Chief Justice of all the High Courts. She is reported to have about only 1.5 years of service, for her retirement.
♛Collegium's reply is said to be 'it is not possible to accede to her request'. At least, the ratio decidendi for the decision ought to have been communicated to her, at least confidentially.
♛It is an established Judicial Principle that Transfers cannot be used as disguised punishments. If there are any serious allegations against Justice Vijaya Tahilramani, Supreme Court can inquire into the nature and veracity of the allegations. Thereafter, it can send a Report to the President for further Constitutional Review. Transfer is not a solution.

TRUE TOTAL SOCIALISM, compulsory physical labor for all fit persons :

♛True complete Socialism in our society, when introduced in a country, working days can be redesigned, including a proportion of some mental labor and some physical labor for every workman.
♛Exceptions can be made for those who are not bodily fit and are too frail/challenged for physical labor.
♛Drudgeries, slogs, hazardous labor, menial work also needs to be shared.
♛Only poor cannot be made to suffer drudgeries.
♛Wealthy will also benefit from TTS, because they can get their daily quote of their exercise, as a part of their daily work.
♛Wealthy will also be freed from mental stress associated with the management of their wealth. (9934)

TALIBAN -AMERICAN PEACE DEAL worked out after nine rounds of talks, US SECRETARY OF STATE REFUSING TO SIGN :

♛Mr. Mike Pompeo, US Secretary of State, is reported to have refused to sign.
♛Reason, said to have been given by him: It does not guarantee the continued presence of US counter terrorism forces to battle al-Quaeda, the survival of the pro US Government in Kabul, or even an to fighting in Afghanistan.
♛Initiating nine rounds of talks with extreme militant Organisations like Talibans, and working out peace deals with them, make no sense. It goes against common sense.
♛Talibans seem to get their finances from Saudi Arabia. As long as Saudi Arabia supports them, Talibans will not relent for any sort of Peace Deals which go against the very purpose of their existence.
♛Of course, if Mr. Trump is eager for an Afxit so as to show it as his achievement for the 2020 Presidential Campaign , he may force Mike Pompeo to sign some deal with Taliban, and threaten to sack him, if he refuses. (99621).

MONEY LAUNDERING IN INDIA :

♛Enforcement Directorate in India seems to be digging up and pursuing only the crimes committed by Leaders of Opposition Parties. This part is welcome.
♛But, Enforcement Directorate and CBI are supposed to be autonomous and independent organisations acting on their own.
♛There is a maxim, "Justice should not only be done, but should also appear to have-been/is-being done.
♛We may have to wait till Ruling Party becomes Opposition Party, and vice versa. (9911)
