Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh will brief media every week. According to a new strategy developed under the guidance of the Congress Working Committee the PM will now be facing the media directly.
This is a shame that things have gotten so out of hand that the PM had to stoop so low. MMS, who had addressed two press conferences at a gap of FOUR YEARS, will be addressing the media each week..... Is he a lowly minister in the UPA government or is being made to act like one.
The talk of off record briefings and on record briefings by MMS is nothing but an attempt at denigrating the post of the PM. There is no way in world that the government doesn't have a firefighter to resolve the mess it has gotten itself into. PM's job is not to address the media each week. His job is to government the country effectively....for the aam aadmi. Any ideas Mr MMS.

PAC report
The Congress may not allow the tabling of the PAC report that has allegedly indicted the UPA government and several of its ministers and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. There have been peculiar developments today. The DMK, the ally of UPA, has now reportedly demanded that the report be tabled in Parliament. The report had been rejected by Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar.
The DMK game plan on the issue seems to be that they want the government too share the blame. they are working on the classic principle of collective responsibility. And they want even the blame to be shared by its ally. The Bahujan Samaj Party and Samajwadi Party, which had opposed the tabling of the report so far have also come out in support of the PAC report. These parties are also likely to call for its tabling, creating more trouble for the ruling alliance.
Let's see if this is a masterstroke by the DMK or the Congress has some more cards up its sleeve.

Sathya Sai Baba trust money
What's the story behind all the money being recovered from the premises of Sathya Sai Bab's former abode? It seems that several crores of this unaccounted for wealth has already been removed from the vicinity.
This was proven after huge amount of cash was recovered from vehicles moving out of Puttaparthy. It is believed that several senior politicians from Andhra Pradesh and nearby states, mainly Karnataka and Maharashtra, are involved with the Sathya Sai trust. There should be a move to check the involvement of these persons at the earliest. Such amounts of cash could have very well been used in illegal funding of elections.

FM bugging conspiracy
It seems that the oft lungi clad senior minister in the UPA-2 is being blamed for the alleged bugging of the FM's office. The conspiracy theories doing the rounds are that the minister, known for these sort of dirty tricks, was behind the attempt at wiring Pranab Mukherjee's office.
I have myself seen several cabinet ministers act like meek sheep in his august presence. The minister apparently knows several secrets of his cabinet colleagues and I am told that dossiers of information are maintained on them. The FM's request for a secret inquiry into the bugging and the rejection of the IB's report are more proofs that this minister is not trusted. Just wait for a few days before the FM retaliates.

FM bugged?
It is understood that someone bugged the office of Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee. This is hilarious..... apart from being a telling commentary on the situation of security.
It is a known fact that Pranabda is one amongst the top three in the current UPA regime. This incident also showed the inept attitude of the IB, which we all are aware of, and the keen eye of private detectives hired by the FM's office.
The point here is that who is so audacious as to attempt the bugging of the office FM. The impunity with which such an attempt was made seems to elicit the fact that either the act was performed by someone who had the protection of the higher ups or the bugging was done by the government agencies themselves.
This is a conspiracy that is far from over. Was a corporate house involved or was it a political conspiracy to get some secretes of the FM and his private life? The latter theory has to be investigated properly as it seems that someone high up in the Congress or the government itself seems to have ordered this bugging.
It may take a few days for the conspiracy theories to kick in but the truth shall eventually be revealed.

Media barons or manipulators
The media barons of India have risen together. To quell the rights of their employees. These media barons, who claims to be fighting for the rights of the common man, are nothing but thieves like any other corporate entity. The impunity and unabashed way in which they have unleashed a barrage of advertisements against the new wage board recommendations is shameful.
They are cartelising against their own employees. Hatching a conspiracy to take away what is rightfully theirs. The government doesn't have the guts and is likely to bow to the pressure. As these weher the same people who have been supporting it during all the downturns be it Anna or Ramdev.

Government targets Anna
Taking a cue from the late night police action against Baba Ramdev and his supporters the government has now decided to target Anna Hazare as well. The loudmouth Minister heading the dirty tricks department of the government announced that the social activist and his group can go to hell if they don't want to conduct any further meetings with the government. The government has decided to show them their aukaat.... to use the right word as English language doesn't have a word which can define it more appropriately.
What is this ..... is the government growing balls again????
It seems that buoyed by its successes the government has decided to take a few harsh steps. I just hope that they don't do anything foolish like the emergency imposed on the nation in the 1970s.

BSP reads Ramdev politics
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati seems to have finally read the politics behind the anti corruption agitation of Baba Ramdev. Mayawati has so far refused to give the go ahead to Baba Ramdev for continuing his protest against the Central government from her state's territory.
She has decided to keep a distance from the saffron tinged baba for the time being.
But there is a caveat here...for how long will such distance be maintained.
Is she biding hertime.... waiting for an opportune moment to make a move against the Congress but asking the baba to move to Noida.
Lets see what happens when Rahul Amul Baby G tries to hold a mahapanchayat at Bhatta Parsaul.

Ramdev protest quelled
The reason behind the crackdown on Baba Ramdev's protest..... to consolidate Muslim vote in favour of the Congress. The unwitting beneficiary..... BJP.
This is the sum of the entire conspiracy which has been on for the past few days. The two major parties have seemingly evolved a formula to consolidate their respective vote banks with a view to Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls scheduled for next year. Everyone knows whoever rules UP will be the leader in Delhi.
But with the reactions of UP Chief Minister Mayawati and Samajwadi party Chief Mulayam Singh have shown that they have not read the politics behind the moves. The two national parties will progress at the cost of these two regional parties in UP. Congress at the cost of SP and BJP at the cost of Bahujan Samaj Party.

Ramdev conspiracy
Who has been orchestrating these agitations on corruption? Why has Ramdev chosen this point of time? Why are these anti corruption agitations not relenting despite the government going all out to resolve the crisis?
The conspiracy doing the rounds in the political circles is that the biggest saffron force in the country the RSS is behind all this. The Congress has been encircles in a charkravyuh of corruption as the saffron organisation was encircled by it in Hindu terror cases. If the spin doctors are to be believed the Hindu organisations are going all out to discredit the government. The UPA government may be made to pay back for painting these organisations with the same brush as Al Qaida and Lashkar e Toila.
The government will need to go all out to get out of this mess as the enemy has encircled it pretty badly.

Ramdev circus
Why is the government promoting self-proclaimed yoga guru Baba Ramdev? Almost half the UPA cabinet was at the airport to receive him. It seems that the government's ass is in a tight spot. Despite the fact that it had created and promoted this person to counter Anna Hazare during his recent agitation on the Lokpal issue.
The move is on the verge of backfiring. And it has happened before to the Congress. Remember Bhindranwale and others as well. Will he also turn into another Frankenstein? Will history repeat itself? Only time can tell.
