I have recently published a management magazine titled “Management Talk.” The first issue was released in November 2009. This first issue of the magazine is focussed on making management concepts simple and easy to understand for students, teachers and practitioners of management including executives and entreprenuers. From next issue onwards, I am planning to include article(s) of the government management and what we need to do to fix the problems of our country. I haver already been writing about this here as well on my website www.vote2change.org.
13th finance commission had recommended that there should a 3-yearly budget and that the government should stop tweaking the tax and duty rates or major policies every year. Now this makes perfect sense. This would save everybody’s time as well as a great deal of money. Look at the time spent by the government in preparing the budget and the businesses speculating and tracking the changes in the budget every year.
On 1/1/2010 I posted an article here titled “Nitin Gadkari misses a big opportunity for BJP.” On 2/1/2010, Hindustan Times writes an editorial criticising Nitin Gadkari and BJP for supporting JMM’s Shibu Soren and at the same time hoping that gadkari is able to increase the party’s base by 10% so that BJP is back as a largest opposition party.
The elections in Jharkhand offered an excellent opportunity to the BJP president to “walk his talk” as well as bring back BJP back into the game. How? Let me explain.

You know I am tired of the political parties and especially the Congress talking about the aam admi. None of the political parties have any interest in the welfare of the aam admi or the common citizen of this country. Inspite of being the owner of this country, the common man is completely ignored except when it comes to elections.
I have maintained all through that corruption and practically no accountability of the government officials nad bureaucrats is the root cause of all our problems. You name the problem and its root cause is corruption and unaccountability of government officials.
I was shocked to read a report in ET that the number of foreign flights operating out of India increased from 711 services a week to 1315 services a week, an increase of nearly 90% since summer of 2004. The number of passengers have gone up from 14 million to 27 million in the same period. But Air India is losing money and market share while the foreign airlines are making hay. Air India and Jet share has come down drastically from 40-50% to 10% now.
According to our constitution, everyone has to be treated equal. Then why is it that permissions have to be obtained to prosecute some people? Why is there a special procedure to be adopted to prosecute or terminate Buta Singh? Why can’t we prosecute the chief justice for corruption if there is a probable cause? In fact according to me, these people hold positions of trust and should be prosecuted for corruption immediately.
I had predicted on April 19, 2009 that irrespective of whoever wins the election, it will be business as usual. Your and my life will not change for the better. However, it can change for the worse.
I have repeatedly said in my blog as well as the website www.vote2change.org that enforcing the law and holding government officials accountable for their actions holds the key to removing corruption. I had earlier described how the corruption cycle starts and ends. Now let me take the racket of superbikes is flourishing in an unknown town by the name of PEN in Raigard district of Maharashtra. As mentioned in my earlier blog, we in India seems to patented the innovative “7-steps of creating a mess.” Now let me explain this racket in terms of the model proposed earlier, that is, Turn a blind eye, Don’t decide, Create mess, Hope for the best.
