Sonia’s job card in Indore!

 

Showcasing the extent of corruption and irregularities in the implementation of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme in State, job cards in the name of Congress president Sonia Gandhi and general secretary Rahul Gandhi have surfaced in Indore.

 

Getting the wind of the situation, the district administration has launched a massive drive to identify and root out the fake job cards. It was learnt that job cards have also been made in the names of several ministers and MLAs including Kailash Vijayvargiya.

 

Given the guts of the racketeers involved, the extent of irregularities could easily be guessed. It is but natural that the actual beneficiaries remain get no advantage of the big schemes as such corrupt activites are rampant.

Bhopal SP to go!

 

Though he has managed to save himself from the massive transfers of IPS carried out couple of days ago, Bhopal SP, Jaideep Prasad is all set to be removed for his alleged failure in tackling the law and order situation of the State capital.

 

This means the happiness of SP along with his supporters would vanish soon. Sources in police department claimed that even the politicians and senior bureaucrats are unhappy with Bhopal SP and going to change him soon.

 

Anticipating action against him, Prasad has become hyperactive. Sudden surrender of Lal Sai is an indication.

IAS officer – gamed or framed?

 

IAS officer Dnyaneshwar Patil – CEO of Zilla Panchayat Bhopal – was found by TV cameras in what seemed to be quite objectionable situation with a youth in his office in capital on June 18 night. The scenario indicated involvement in homosexual act with the youth – a Panchayat Secretary from Berasia.

 

While Patil claimed it was a frame up and effort to blackmail, the youth claimed he was being exploited by the office since several months. The fact that the officer was present in his office well beyond official hours and was caught in camera sans his trousers while the youth was also reduced to his in-garments, doesn’t speak too well in the official’s favour.

 

However, the police have decided to investigate the case thoroughly before registering a case. Remains to be seen whether Patil was gaming or has been framed.
