G_B_ Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Kartikeya Sharma @kartikeya_1975 Just Heard that Pratap Singh Bajwa is being replaced as PCC chief of Punjab. Captain Amrindar to be projected as CM candidate. Don't know how accurate this is....but I won't be surprised if this does happen. They got their ass handed to them on a plate in municipal polls. Bajwa was as good as gone after the results came out
G_B_ Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Big reshuffle in Congress, five new PCC chiefs appointed In a major reshuffle ahead of possible elevation of Rahul Gandhi as party president at the AICC session next month, the Congress on Monday appointed five new PCC chiefs and one regional Congress committee president. The reshuffle had a clear imprint of Rahul Gandhi in handing over Ajay Maken the state leadership in Delhi, Ashok Chavan in Maharashtra, Ghulam Ahmed Mir in Jammu and Kashmir Bharatsinh Solanki in Gujarat and Uttam Reddy in Telangana. AICC secretary Sanjay Nirupam has been made the chief of Mumbai regional Congress committee. The changes in the states were due for long and Rahul was particularly keen to have new PCC chiefs in these states. Indications had it that he had to push hard for changes in Gujarat and Maharashtra. The changes come at a time when Rahul Gandhi's two-week sabbatical, in the midst of the crucial Budget session, is nearing an end. Party sources said that Rahul will be back soon. "Congress President Sonia Gandhi has appointed five new Pradesh Congress Committee Presidents and one Regional Congress Committee President," party general secretary Organization Janardan Dwivedi said, giving the names in an AICC release. In addition, Mallu Bhati Virkamarka, an MLA has been appointed as working president for Telangana. The new Telangana PCC chief Reddy replaces incumbent state chief Ponnala Lakshmaiah, who was appointed only in March last year. Reddy was then made Working President. While Chavan replaces Manikrao Thakre, Ghulam Ahmed Mir replaces Saifuddin Soz in Jammu and Kashmir. Bharatsinh Solanki, who replaced Arjun Modhwadia as PCC chief in Gujarat is a former Union minister and son of former chief minister Madhavsinh Solanki. This is his second stint as PCC chief. He had held the post five years ago. Maken's return as Delhi state chief was a foregone conclusion after he was made the Congress Campaign Committee Chief for Delhi Assembly polls as the party wanted to replace the face of three-term chief minister Sheila Dikshit with a known face. Maken replaced Arvinder Singh Lovely, who was made PCC chief last year after the party's rout in 2013 Assembly polls in which it had got only eight seats while Dikshit had lost from her home constituency New Delhi. In the 2014 Assembly polls, Congress scored a duck in Delhi and the decision to appoint Maken as PCC chief after the debacle is an indication that the party is readying itself for a long haul in state politics and wants the reins of party affairs to remain in the hands of some known-face. The changes in the state are a precursor to a rejig in AICC, where a number of general secretaries are to be replaced. The party has also appointed AICC general secretary BK Hariprasad and AICC secretary Mainul Haque as Observer and Co-Observer for the meeting to elect Congress Legislature Party leader in Jammu and Kashmir. Punjab does not figure in the list of states, where changes have been announced on Monday. http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/big-reshuffle-in-congress-five-new-pcc-chiefs-appointed/article1-1322227.aspx

It seems like Cong just doesn't want to win again. correction he is a mass leader and one of the few districts which congress heavily won was his in the assembly. With the death of Gopinath Munde , he is a major threat in Marathwada. While he wont be that popular in mumbai due to the adarsh scam, he will increase the congress share in 62 seat marathwada. He is the only mass leader they have.

After 15 years of an incredibly corrupt Cong-NCP administration I doubt if people would be willing to listen to another corrupt leader from Cong, however strong a base he might have.

Sachin=GOD Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 The ones who are really guilty (Nehru dynasty) would be sitting and laughing as their stooge once again gets his reputation maligned for their sake.
G_B_ Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 i doubt MMS took money himself. He just did nothing when he knew something was happening.
Texan Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Yeah, I agree with the general consensus that MMS did not personally take any money. But he was probably complicit in what was happening and may have even facilitated some of it considering he was PM as well as directly in charge of the coal ministry. In either case, he does not deserve any sympathy
bulbul Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Madamji could be sh!t scared NEW DELHI: The entire top Congress leadership including Sonia Gandhi today took to the streets to express solidarity with former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who has been summoned as accused in a coal scam case, with the party President calling it "outrageous". http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/coal-scam-sonia-gandhi-leads-solidarity-march-to-manmohan-singhs-residence/articleshow/46537634.cms
G_B_ Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 UDF in Kerala appears to be in trouble with a bribery case against its Finance minister. Have to say to the outsider their government suddenly looks shaky.
Texan Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Madamji is making sure she selects the best possible lawyers in the country to defend MMS. Translation for the naive: Madamji is making sure that she controls all MMS lawyers to ensure he doesn't speak up.
someone Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Why can't we call Manmohan corrupt? The Indian electorate has a very high tolerance to corruption and maybe that's why it is so difficult to eradicate it. Laloo Prasad Yadav got 15 years in Bihar despite the fodder scam hanging over him like a cloud. When Jayalalithaa got convicted for disproportionate assets, instead of being disgusted, many took to the streets in strong support of the former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister. When the black money scam exploded in AAP's face on the eve of the New Delhi elections, there wasn't even a dent in their fortunes. The media also seems quite apologetic in calling former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh corrupt. News of his being named accused and questioned was severely played down while news of Congress President's solidarity walk was severely played up. It is these subtleties that reveal severe media bias and viewers take a subconscious cue.But first let us see the definition of being corrupt.Just see one of the many dictionary meanings... Corrupt (adjective): having or showing a willingness to act dishonestly in return for money or for personal gain. Most people think of corruption being just someone taking money directly to do something and putting it in his account. But as we see, “personal gain” in any form is corruption. Now the post of Prime Minister is the most powerful in the land. The Government of India spends a huge amount of money on the office of the PM and it has a huge lot of perks. He goes around with a security retinue, gets to travel the world in a private aircraft and generally has a very privileged life. Manmohan was PM for 10 years and the very act of hanging on to the PM's post comes under “personal gain”. What if a PM was faced with a choice of doing something that would harm the nation and something that would force him to step down? If he chose to continue and also continue to harm the nation, wasn't he choosing “personal gain” over country? Isn't that itself a clear form of corruption? When the 1.76 lakh crore 2G scam happened, the Prime Minister was directly involved because he signed most of the files and our Constitution talks of collective responsibility. However he got away because the figure itself was hotly disputed and no corruption money was recovered that could be linked to him. That made it to No. 2 of Time magazine's all-time abuses of power but somehow for some strange reason it wasn't Manmohan who “abused power” and neither Sonia. However that was surpassed by Coalgate which initially talked of a loss of 2 lakh crore much greater than the 2G scam. While A Raja became the fall guy and went to jail as he was the Telecom Minister, what happened in Coalgate? Shouldn't the Coal Minister have been brought down for questioning? Shouldn't the Coal Minister have come under scrutiny? Well such a thing didn't happen because the Coal Minister happened to be the Prime Minister! While one scam after another kept happening right under his tenure here was one which happened right in the Ministry when he was in charge! There were also things like the ISRO scandal and Manmohan happened to be Space Minister and the alleged Thorium scam and Manmohan happened to be the Atomic Energy Minister. In the history of Independent India never has one man been surrounded by so many scams and still been persistently called clean. Now here's the thing. The current coal auctions have shown that former CAG Vinod Rai's figure of Rs 2 lakh crore was highly conservative. One thing is clear. Manmohan through his actions caused the Government of India's exchequer to lose lakhs of crores of Rupees. But again the mainstream media is downplaying the whole issue. If a thief steals a few hundred Rupees in a bus he is thrashed. If an official misappropriates a few lakhs there will be a local outcry. If a downright fake story says that a Prime Minister is wearing a Rs 10 lakh suit there will be national outrage. But India losing lakhs of crores of Rupees through some signature on a file is beyond the comprehension of most people and hence there is no outrage. When the duo of Sonia-Manmohan was in power one can understand the mainstream media being petrified but the continued defence of the two is quite baffling.Meanwhile to continue calling Manmohan clean and honest is quite a travesty indeed. ----------------------------------------- A wonderful article. Laloo and Jayalalithaa are prime examples despite being convicted
amiret Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Why can't we call Manmohan corrupt? Because he has NOT been convicted in any court of law for any crime . Laloo and Jaya were convicted and sentenced but released on bail.
seedhi Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 The puppet, doormat, bootlicker, slave Manmohan Singh facilitated naked corruption in 2G scam, for which he was let off during his own tenure as PM. Hopefully, when the trial starts he can be made an accused in that case too.
