Next CS ?, an acid test for Vasundhara

Vasundharas' toughest decision - Reward and consolidate the vote bank or succumb to the coterie in appointing the state's next Chief Secretary?
As the term of the incumbent Chief Secretary -RK Nayar comes to an end , the state's bureaucracy is claiming that in appointing her next Chief Secretary, the Maharani will prove if indeed she is politically astute or (as rumoured) in the grips of a coterie.
The fact that gives rise to this sense of expectancy is vote bank pressures.
Vasundhara (and the BJP ) came to power with a record majority last year, thanks to a massive shift in votes from the OBC communities and most predominantly from the numerically preponderant and widespread Jat community. This well networked and politically conscious community expects that Jagesh Pal Singh of 1972 batch will become the state's first OBC -Jat Chief Secretary. He is the senior most Jat IAS officer in the state and enjoys an impeccable reputation, non-controversial persona and outstanding track record. Singh has been away at the center and is likely to get promoted as Secretary Government of India very shortly
The CM's powerful coterie of bureaucrats and political allies is from Vaisya and Kayastha communities and they have their own leading candidates : - Anil K Vaisya (1970 batch) and D.C. Samanth (1972 batch) respectively. Infact, Samanth is at present, Secretary of the newly constituted CMO. He has been in two different assignments with Vasundhara.
Thus, Vasundhara needs to evaluate her deck of cards very carefully. If she ignores the claims of Jagesh Pal Singh , she will alienate the massive Jat and OBC vote bank, she will further get branded as anti farmer and in doing this make her coterie more powerful. On the other hand in elevating Samanth, she will get her key man in the top civil servant's position having no caste base of his own. Vaisya is rated as a pure lobby supported candidate. His fortunes depend solely on the lobby's influence .
As a self confessed newly minted CM taking a 'crash course ' Vasundhara will need to weigh her political benefits and administrative pros/cons carefully . If she seeks to enhance the comfort of a definite and dedicated vote bank she needs to plan now.
Her recent move to appoint a Sikh officer A.S. Gill despite being relatively junior was a display of political wisdom. She now needs to be equally sagacious in her choice of Chief Secretary.
As recent events in North West Rajasthan, where the farmers are agitating violently against the Government's apathy, have proven this promises to be an interesting space to watch…….

FORUM

Aaj Ki Aawaz

Fact is that if RJD had not been in cahoots with Congress Bihar would be under President's rule,
The jugle raaj situation in Bihar is evident even to a fool.

Company of Laloo has even changed Sonia's accent,
'Law and Orderoowa is okayooa in Biharoowa ' in her Italian-Bihari accent is her comment!!!

Laloo says that location of caller is not possible to be known,
But it is known Papu was in jail and he made calls from there so Laloo's excuse is blown!!!

Parliament is awaiting agog for Laloo to reveal details of his Paswan allegation,
Laloo is trying to placate NDA by sending delegation after delegation.

Laloo says he has been misquoted……tomorrow will say slip of the tongue,
If this fails then he will say he was hallucinating under the influence of bhang!!!

Laloo is desperate to wriggle out,
And NDA know they have him in a corner and want to fight out the bout!!!

Bahu became Saas and started throwing her weight around,
Simriti Irani aka Tulsi demanded that Modi hit the ground!!!

She wants Modi to either resign or be thrown out,
And if this is not done then she will go on a hunger strike unto death to ensure his rout.

Anyway seems Munde was able to get her to change her mind…or was this enforced,
Because there is a feeling that Irani's outburst was not her own but was coerced.

Seems the Ladies in BJP are hell bent on making their presence felt….Lady Power,
Not the call or need of the hour.

Hope now Naajma Aapa does not find some cause to throw in BJP's face,
Gets all worked up on something and raises her mace!!!

That is why BJP of yore kept Ladies at bay,
Even at the risk of being looked upon as gay.

Sushma, Irani, Uma and Naajma Aapa have formed a Kitty,
And seems in this Kitty Ladies have become gritty!!!

Sidhu commented in LS that there cannot be fruit without root….Somnath Da indulged him,
On UPA Government scuttling the Jalhandar Amritsar four laning took a view that was dim.

Sidhu can commentate for the TV relay of the proceedings….Somnath Da should allow this,
Of course UPA would like to give this suggestion a miss!!!

Confucius says…..Sidhu with his one liners bowls googlies at fast pace.
He continues....Only problem some times his brain cannot with his tongue keep pace.

Hulka Fulka

Seems Amir Khan could not find a buyer for his Lagaan bat here so he auctioned it in Pakistan,
Of course to the Indian IT Authorities he will have to account for…kitna, kabh , kyo aur kahaan!!

Somebody should tell him that Charity begins at home,
If he heeded this then in Pakistan he need not roam.

But Amir says Khan ka hia maamla….helping Imran Khan,
And that is why he is in Pakistan.

Sharukh Khan has got back his stammer after the Lanka blast,
But the blessing is his speech is now understandable as he no longer speaks fast.

Insiders say that Sharukh peed in his pants when the blast took place,
Of course now he is putting up a brave act to save face.

Don't they make enough money here that they had to go to Lanka to sing and dance to make more??
Many say that Sharukh should have expected that this was in store!!!

Anyway now Sharukh has learnt first hand the meaning of Darr,
Won't be surprised that for some time he will not leave his gar (house).

Confucius says….In movies in the direst of conditions or circumstances heroes are invincible.
He continues…In real life at such times these heroes turn invisible.
