NEW DELHI POLITICAL GRAPEVINE SNIPPETS

R RajagopalanDelhi

------------------

Jairam Ramesh as Green Minister corrected the draft speech 

of the Prime Minister to be delivered at theValedictory Session of 

International Seminar on Global Environment and Disaster Management..And major 

policy announcement initiated by Jairam Ramesh are reflected in the 

text delivered by Dr Manmohan Singh. Top officials who enjoyed freedom

with Jairam Ramesh in Union Ministry of Envirornment and Forests 

are now being targetted by the new Minister. A threat of the top two or

three officials might be sacked.New Green Minister wants to bring in 

Tamil Nad cadre Officers. 

--------------------

Dr Geeta Reddy and Dr M Jagannatham two senior physicians who are

present at a meeting with Gulam Nabi Azad Union Minister of Health 

to solve Telangana dispute, ended with solving the health issues of 

Gulam Nabi Azad. The fact was Azad was  facing acute backbone disc problem.

acute pain and Azad cannot sit for longer hours. Much more interesting was

that Rayalaseema delegation also had two medical doctors as MLA and one MP

They told Gulam Nabi to take a different medicine. A pain killer spray was quickly

bought and applied on Azad. Whether Telangana issue is resolved or not,

temporary relief for Gulam Nabi from disc problem.

-----------------------

Legal battle is on in apex court on 2G,But a different battle is fought

at the legal officers level. And that is much more interesting.

It is some what similar to that of UPA and NDA political 

battle. AG does not want SG and SG does not want to

depute Addtional SG. In nut shell legal fraternity is in

for yet another major shock. That another top legal officer

might put in his papers, by this week end. 

------------------------

Half of the Union Cabinet was present at the Mango eating

contest, at the bungalow of Salman Khursheed Union Minister of Law

on Sunday.30 varities of Mangoes were kept at different corners of

the sprawling lawn. Topic of discussion was Veerappa Moily and

his Ramayana book. Telangana and Lokpal Bills were of course

the hottest topic. Sachin Pilot organise Makki Roti with white butter

eating competition. While M Venkaiah Naidu in Winter brings

100 varities of fish recipe from Coastal Andhra and Telangana regions.

But MK Alagiri wants to organise a Dosa contest in Monsoon session

of Parliament.
