Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given a new look to the adminstration of PMO. A new Teen Murti inside PMO has emerged Modi has trifurcated hisOffice. Each will report to him directly on their allocation of responsibilities. "The Teen Murti" in PMO are Nripendra Mishra Principal Secretary Ajit Doval National Security Advisor and Dr P K Mira Additional Principal Secretary. Infrastructures and Developmental issues are being dealt by Nripendra Mishra, while Ajit Doval has been entrusted with Security issues, External relations and Nuclear issues. This triumvirate will run the day to day administration of PMO, and they shall reprot directly to Narendra Modi.
------------------------------
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also instructed Additional Principal Secretary Dr P K Misra shall attend the Union Cabinet meetings, This instruction is being interpreted as a major change of protocol in PMO. If Cabinet Secretariat and Personnel Department would not have stood in the way, Prime Minister was keen to designate Dr P K Misra as Principal Secretary - Two. Since PMO is dealing with World Governments and World leaders-the decoration of Principal Secretary Two would not have gone well with the nicities. Hence Dr PK Misra got a coveted position as Additional Principal Secretary.
-----------------------------
Babudom is bubbling with enthusiasm. For reasons. First and foremost is that Prime Minister Narendra Modi dails up Secretaries on RAX This has esnured the comfort level of Secretaries with the Prime Minister directly. -(RAX phone is meant only for seniormost functionaries in Government of India) That PMO has regained its lost importance. Second PMO has got a new look with trifurcation. Third- the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) has been allocated to to Dr P K Misra.Prime Minister authorised Dr PK Misra to convene the meetings of the Secretaries to Government of India. Insiders say that this has effectively been put to action since last month.Working very smooth. Also indicative of Cabinet Secretariat.losing its sheen.
------------------------------
Eight secretaries to Government of India suddenly stood up- while the power point presentation had just begun. This has caused Prime Minister Narendra Modi a discomfort. Reason, the sudden dramatic entry of Cabinet Secretary Ajit Seth to this meeting. The third chair from Prime Minister was to be vacated for Ajit Seth. Few minuets were lost in this drill of musical chair. The agenda papers circulated to these eight secretaries did not have the name of Cabinet Secretariat. Why did Ajit Seth show his presence- Did he feel that Cabinet Secretariat authority was being tested?
This is the talk in the Corridors of power in Cabinet Secretariat-which is housed inside the Rashtrapathi Bhavan.
----------------------------
E Bharat Bhushan Chief Secretary of Kerala is in the race for Chairmanship of Airport Economic Regulatory Authority Official announcement is expected shortly. But suddenly CPM leader and the former Kerala Chief Minister C Achudanandan wrote a three pages letter to Prime Minister with evidences of corruption charges against Bharat Bhushan. Cabinet Secretariat and Establishment Officer do not want to touch this file. Quickly they marked it to PMO.for final orders.

Rajiv Pratap Rudy BJP MP was busy in Parliament with files in hand moving one bench to another inside Lok Sabha. But in Central Hall Rajiv Pratap Rudy got signatures on a joint letter. It is all about the Membership in Standing Committees and other financial committees. The BJP intention is to have "Congress mukht Parliamentary Committees" by consensus and no elections. Reason BJP has a thumping majority in the Lok Sabha Rudy main task is to create a consensus
------------------------------
Ranjeet Ranjan Congress MP from Bihar and her huband is Pappu Yadav MP of RJD. On Friday Ranjeet Ranjan controlled the agitated her husband Pappu Yadav to resume seat and not to disturb the proceedings of Lok Sabha. But for Ranjeet Ranjan intervention-Pappu Yadav would not have been silenced.
------------------------------
Huband and wife combination was seen outside Lok Sabha - near Central Hall- on Friday. It was a real romantic scene. Like fast movie actions. Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur at the door steps of Central Hall received her husband Sukbir Singh Badal. Both went towards Finance Minister Arun Jaitely chambers. The VVIP couple is worried over Gurudwara politics being played on them by Congess especially Haryana Chief Miniser Bhupinder SIngh Hooda
------------------------------
Congress Party is crumbling. That is evident from group meeting being held in Central Hall. One pathetic scene was former Coal Minister was heard giving choicest bad words. Anand Sharma - Sriprakash Jaiswal and Rajesh Kumar Mishra former Varanasi MP , these three were seen in a corner of Central Hall. Their focus is on Madhusudan Mistry and Rahul Gandhi. While on the other end South Indian Congress MPs from Kerala and Karnataka were heard using bad words against Jyotiraditya Scindia. What is happening in Congress None can estimate such "group gossip sessions"
---------------------------
Four major political issues were resolved in the meeting of senior leaders of BJP and RSS held at 7 Race Course Road
Narendra Modi hosted a Dinner - after the meeting. Can you guess the name of the Union Minister who goes between BJP and RSS? Buzz is that three senior Union Ministers performance in Parliament was not at all satisfactory for the RSS and also for PMO.

Thambidurai ADMK leader is set to become Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha before closure of Monsoon session of Parliament. BJP has been insisting that Thambidurai may have to resign the highest position he holds in ADMK
as Propoganda Secretary. Legal experts also quote that conflict of interest if he does not resign from coveted party post from ADMK- would land his elevation on a legal scrutiny in Apex Court. BJP does not want that embarrassment. Prime Minister Narendra Modi discussed these matters with ADMK general Secretary Jayalalitha-also sent an emissary to Poes Garden according to political sources
------------------------------
Spokesperson of All India Congress Committee has sought to declare voluntary disclosures of his income
to escape the six years of his non compliance of filing returns. The said spokespersons gets
very aggressive in TV debates-not only on corruption matters but to defend his masters
"Maa-Beta" on complicated legal entanglements. Can a solar equipments installed at the roof top cost
Rs 35 crores? And this Congress Spokesperson sought Income Tax exemption. What a sorry state of
Congress to get this spokesperson to defend its policies-comment a former Congress Union Minister.
------------------------------
Prathap Simha-the first time BJP MP from Karnataka got a surprise message from senior BJP leader that
Simha should not wear colorful T shirts - when he attends Lok Sabha. Last week -Simha sported in T Shirt.
He has authored the life sketch of Narendra Modi in Kannada language.
------------------------------
A former Gujarat cadre IAS Officer who demited Office as Chairman of a statutory body in Government of India - had a meeting with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently. This former IAS officer conversed with Modi in fluent Gujarati - though he belonged to South India. Most surprising was that this said former IAS officer wanted high level Government interventions- to consider buying army weaponaries from a foreign company-to which his close relative is Indian dealer. Silence was the answer from PMO for such requests. But PMO is upset and angry with such recommendations and suggestions. This said former IAS officer threatened his brother bureaucrats of putting their assets in web site. Now ...?
------------------------------
Narendra Modi has not discontinued feeds of social media like Twitter-Facebook-Linkedin-
------------------------------
BJP senior Union Ministers were surprised to receive recommendatory phone calls from Sharad Pawar-to solve certain personal issues of Dayanidhi Maran- DMK leader who was Union Minister for Telecommunication in UPA. This is not the last resort. Maran also knocked the doors of senior PMO officials whom he as Union Minister was instrumental in promotion of the said Official. Marans are now busy in New Delhi corridors of power.

Narendra Modi is upset with many of the top BJP functionaries.
After the Uttarakhand results where BJP was defeated- Modi wants
to spend more time now for BJP organisational aspects. Modi not only watching the performances of Union Ministers and BJP MPs in Parliament
added to it RSS feed back on each minister was discussed at the Dinner meet. Buzz in the top BJP circles is that Nitin Gadkari will be new Home Minister. He will be foreceful in dealing with the pending cases pertaining to Sadhvi Pragya-- Dharmendra Pradhan will get a shift from Petroleum to Agriculture where his father was Union Minister in Vajpayee regime. Six Union Ministers are now being watched by PMO. And they will be suitably shifted by November shuffle.
--------------------
BJP effectively handled the Budget session. Its soft approach on conducting business in Rajya Sabha - to get along with the Congress
while in Lok Sabha the BJP depended more on AIADMK, BJD and TMC to neutralise the Congress. Therefore two pronged approach- blow cold in Rajya Sabha blow hot in Lok Sabha. But in Winter session of Parliament
BJP approach will be totally different. Wait and watch this space for more hot news. To put Congress in tight spot.
--------------------
Four names are under consideration for Rajya Sabha MP from Madhya Pradesh - the seat vacated by Kaptan Singh Solanki.
As Solanki is appointed as new Governor of Haryana, M J Akbar, leading journalist and spokesperson of the BJP is considered hot favouritre though names of Dr Subramanian Swamy, Arun Shourie or of a leading economist are being mentioned. Interestingly, Kaptan Singh Solanki is considered close to L K Advani and Vasundharraje Scindia and his name was also mentioned for the post of BJP chief. Narendra Modi wanted him as Governor of Haryana and told to vacate his Rajya Sabha seat.
------------------------------
It is now almost certain that former Attorney-General of India Soli Sorabji and former Chief Justice of India P Sathasivam will be made governors. The delay is due to their insistence to go to Karnataka. Sorabji now wants a retired life and the Prime Minister has no objection either. But Sathasivam also wants to be in Karnataka as he hails from Tamil Nadu. He is being persuaded to go to Kerala
------------------------------
Ravi Shankar Prasad may have lost the External Affairs portfolio to Sushma Swaraj. But since then his graph is on the rise in the Modi government. He has three portfolios-Law, Telecom and IT. He member of the powerful Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs. Now he has been made key member of the media committee headed by Arun Jaitley. But Sushma Swaraj has been kept out. Recently, Modi reported to have expressed his unhappiness as she messed up discussion on Gaza in Rajya Sabha and it remained adjourned for three days when Modi was out on the BRICS tour. She is always looking angry and lost in Parliament.
--------------------------
Press Council of India chairman and former Supreme Court judge Markandey Katju called on the Information & Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javdekar recently. He apprised him as to what all he had done during his three year stint at the PCI which is ending on October 11 this year. A majority of members of the PCI representing federations and organizations want Katju’s term be extended for another three years considering his “contribution.” Javdekar consulted PM Modi and Arun Jaitley and both were amused.
