NEW DELHI BUZZ


9-7-2010
--------------------------
political snippets

No Joint Secretary had so far interacted or briefed the Finance Minister
Pranab Mukherjee deals directly with three secretaries to Government of India.
Omita Paul - the lady Officer on Special Duty in North Block is also following
the foot steps of her master. She also discourages any JS entering her room.
She meets just Additional Secretaries of Finance Ministry. North Block 
is now fuming and fretting against the attitude of ignoring 15-20 JS rank officials.
Hence lots of gossips on Finance Ministry being heard at the cocktail circuits.

Nara Chandrababu Naidu TDP leader is busy in splitting Chiranjeevi's Prajarajyam
Not only at the organisational level by attracting Khamma and Kaapus towards TDP
but also Chandrababu Naidu is confident of taking away 10 MLAs out of 18 total strength
of prajarajyam. Naidu is keen to show to the Congress that Chiranjeevi is just a cine actor.
In andhra coastal areas Chiranjeevi is likely to take a padayatra like jagan to avoid such
a manipulation by TDP leader Chandrababu Naidu

Chief Minister Yedurrappa got disgusted with the politicking of Dhananjaya Kumar formre Union Minister in karnataka. 
CM appointed Dhananjaya as Special representative in Delhi for Karnatka. He expected rajya sabha seat. but could not
get this time. 
Special representative is of cabinet rank at state level. He was union cabinet minister for 13 days. he ignores protocol to meet officer who is chief secretary/additional chief secretary rank in state. In the interest state of karnataka
THE SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE TO THE GOVERNMENT OF KARNATAKA IN NEW DELHI MR V DHANANJAYA KUMAR MET UNION SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT MR BRAHMADATT IN NEW DELHI ON JULY-8 AND URGED HIM FOR THE RELEASE OF RS 110 CRORES FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF 27 KM OF CONCRETE ROAD BETWEEN SAKALESHAPUR AND GUNDYA (SHIRADI GHAT FOUR LANE  ROAD)  
Dhanjayakumar does such a neat job by meeting IAS officers, of Karnatkaa cadre so that it is printed in 
Kannad dailies with photo. Also these IAS officers give him immense respect. Other Congress Ministers
do not care Dhananjyay

Prithviraj Chauhan Union Minister of State in PMO had an unique experience.
when he paid a courtesy call on PC Hota a former UPSC chairman 
and whom PM has chosen to head a sub committee on Corruption.

Chauhan wanted Hota to outline the logistic support from the DOPT.
Hota said to Chauhan that he was secretary personnel and then to UPSC
therefore many of the seniors of DOPT had already cooperating
"I got the report ready and will submit before it term ends"
said  Hota to Minister

former CVC another member of this committee
P Shankar who was present was taken back at the 
Hota's reply to Minister.

Shankar narrated that at his 75 years of age, Hota is fast
in composing the report on the desktop computer.
The draft report was given to the members, and HOta also
sent pen drive to the houses of the other members.

Shakar and AK Verma also submitted their reactions
to the draft report. the committee met only once
and approved. See the quick and fast service rendered by 
75 years Hota.
After Veerappa Moily handed over the Adminsitrative Reforms Commission report to PM,.
the UPA2 and PMO gone into the report. It was sent to Committee of Secretaries
COS decided to get experts views on far reaching suggestions of Moily on Corruption
issues. Hence PM constituted a high powered three member Committee of Experts with
P C Hota, Arvind Verma and P Shankar 
to suggest measures to expedite process involved in disciplinary and vigilance proceedings.
The committee has been given two months time frame. 

With this Committee in position, the focus of the UPA2 is to ensure that vigilance cases
are quickly disposed off. But at the same time the UPA2  is dragging its feet in filling up
two vacancies  in the Central Vigilance Commission. since last year. Another confusion is
that CVC also announcing committees for seeking clarities on the vigilance cases.
