Mumbai police commissioner Satyapal Singh resigns. May join BJP and contest from Meerut, UP!

Mumbai police commissioner Satyapal Singh has tendered his resignation and the IPS officer is expected to join either the BJP or the AAP ahead of the upcoming national elections. The IPS official has reportedly applied under the voluntary retirement scheme and has sought to be relieved by the second week of February, a request that is unlikely to be granted, reported the Mumbai Mirror.

Singh, has become the first Mumbai police commissioner to have resigned from his post and said that he wanted to serve the nation with a renewed energy. "I have sent my resignation letter to to the government. The government will now take a call. I now aim to serve society and the nation by joining politics. I have not decided which party to join. When a decision is made, I will make the announcement." While he refused to comment on his political ambitions, he told the Times of India that he would definitely be contesting the upcoming national elections but is still to decide which constituency.

Meanwhile CNN-IBN quoted a senior BJP leader as saying that Singh had already interacted with BJP President Rajnath Singh and former President Nitin Gadkari, and the party could give him a seat from Uttar Pradesh or Maharashtra. Even the Aam Aadmi Party has reportedly offered the IPS official a seat. According to the Mumbai Mirror, the BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi is reportedly keen that Singh join the party during its rally in Meerut on Sunday. He is likely to attend.

I got a nice joke on India's political situation.

Sonia gives Rs. 100 each to all her 3 children ( assume there are 3) and asks them to buy something that will fill the complete room they were sitting in.
1st one buys wood but it isn't enough.
2nd one buys cotton but it still is less than required,
Owl buys Rs 5 candle and its light fills the whole room. Sonia becomes very happy.Just then kapil sibal stands up and says " since rahulji has joined politics, india's future is as bright as the room."

Just then Anna Hazare shots from outside, "its all good but where are rest 95 rupees?"

If Modi has no popularity in Tamil nadu, why is Jayalalitha hell bent on stopping his rally??

Chennai: Madras High Court today reserved orders on a petition seeking a direction to DGP, and Superintendent of Police,Kancheepuram not to grant permission for a public meeting on 8 February in which the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi is going to participate. On a petition filed by one Gowthama Sannah, the First Bench, comprising Chief Justice RK Agrawal and Justice K Ravichandra Babu after hearing the arguments of counsel for the petitioner, said it was reserving its orders.

The petitioner alleged that Modi's conduct and activity in the recent past was detrimental to the interest of general public not only in Tamil Nadu but all over the country. BJP and its Prime Ministerial candidate are convening public meetings and rallies for which police were taking activists of other political parties into preventive custody on suspicion thereby infringing on the fundamental right of the people.

The petitioner said BJP was going to hold the meeting at Vandalur and the area being thickly populated, there is likelihood of breach of peace and law and order problem maybe created. The petitioner said he has already given representation to the authorities concerned not to give permission to hold the meeting at Vandalur but he has not received any response and hence he moved the court.

Now now AAP backs KHAAP ....

 

[temujin]

In what is likely to be the first of many such cases, Nitin Gadkari has filed a defamation suit against Keju and given him 72 hours to retract yesterday's statement and offer a public apology.

This is car crash telly..I'm loving it

To give credit where it's due, AK through his antics has managed to keep AAP in the news round the clock since assuming power, which is no mean achievement.

The prime minister, Narasimha Rao, appointed an Oxford-educated former academic/bureaucrat, Manmohan Singh, as finance minister. Singh had served in all major economic positions in the country, including as governor of India’s central bank, the Reserve Bank of India. As secretary-general of the South Commission, he had also had close interactions with IMF managing director Michel Camdessus. As economic adviser to the previous prime minister, Singh was not new to the impending crisis. To him, making exchange rate adjustments, implementing fiscal reform, and influencing business expectations were the most immediate policy priorities.
