Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

NaMo had no choice



On 26 May , NaMo assumed office


On 27 May , he appointed a committee to look into the issue of Black Money


He had no choice , since Supreme Court had given Central Government , time till 28th May to appoint a SIT ( Special Investigation Team )


NaMo  did this despite his firm belief that ,


" Governments appoint committees when they want 
to postpone taking unpopular / unpleasant decisions "


[  Eg : Issue of KG gas price rise  ?  ]


How else can you explain a 8 member committee  of the Senior-most bureaucrats , without ,


>   a clear mandate / terms of reference


>   a firm target date


>   power to take decisions , which are binding on the government


>   accountability for failure to achieve its objectives



NaMo knows too well that ,



>  Committees only make " Recommendations "


>  Their foremost recommendation is invariably , to appoint another follow-
     up committee , to examine their original recommendations  !


>  Committees rarely meet . When they do , they do so without a clear
    agenda . Only decision that gets taken is fixing the date for the next
    meeting


>  Other names by which committees are well known are ,


    *   Come - Meet - Tea


    *   Procrastination Incarnate


>  Committees have no power / authority , to instruct Government Officers
    to act " as directed "


>  When questioned in Lok Sabha , concerned Minister can get away for
    inaction by saying , " Committee report is awaited "


>  For the members , being on a committee is a status symbol


>  For retired officers , committees are a source of some income


>  A committee is a " Mutual Admiration Society " - where members never
    tire of patting each other's backs


>  Committee Members love to hear their own voices


>  Committees are never  held accountable for failing to achieve anything
     concrete / tangible


But when NaMo had a choice , yesterday , he abolished 30 GoM / E-GoM


NaMo does not tolerate a culture of buck-passing


He cannot suffer nincompoops  !


He is telling his Ministers ,


"  Shape up or Ship out "
