FLIP SIDE

Maturity comes with age
Controversies always precede Rahul Gandhi’s statements. His unreflective remark that the radical Hindu groups could pose bigger threat to the nation than terror outfits like LeT has one again triggered a new debate whether the Gandhi scion should first take formal training from the senior Congress leaders regarding ‘calculated talks’ or he should be allowed to evolve himself as a politician through his own set of trial and errors. But who will bell the cat? In Congress, none dares to give suggestions to the Gandhi family. Nevertheless, the susurrations continue among the partymen from Centre to states. The state Congress workers think that Rahul’s objectionable remarks can cost dear to the party in elections. They say howsoever Rahul pose himself as a leader of ‘aam aadmi’, he can only pull the crowd but votes remain a distant dream. The party’s Bihar debacle is a glaring example, they say.

Time, please! I’m not a workaholic…
One of the professors at Pt Ravishankar Shukla University wants break from work. He says that the varsity administration has encumbered him with additional responsibilities and consequently he could not spend time with his family on Sundays and other public holidays. He claims to be the only professor in the varsity campus who has got so many works to do apart from the actual job profile. But this professor’s colleagues have different side of the story. They say that this professor had always wished to hold unique position in the varsity administration, rather next to the vice chancellor. But among assortment of responsibilities, he got such a profile under which he has to coordinate with every department and follow the instructions of the HoDs whenever there is any event. Now, he repents and says that he had desired to become the boss, but he has been qualified to a minion.

Silence before storm
There is a mysterious silence at Raipur Municipal Corporation (RMC) office nowadays. Reason – the Congress and BJP corporators are busy campaigning for their party candidates who are contesting in Birgaon Municipal Council elections. When asked how they were managing their ward responsibilities and campaigning job simultaneously some of the BJP and Congress corporators said their silence would follow storm. The BJP corporators say they have ample time presently to enlist issues of their wards and they would immediately raise voices against the ruling party after poll results. The Congress corporators, on the other hand, too are waiting for the polls to be over so that they could demand sufficient funds from the state government for the municipal corporation. In this backdrop, the civic officials are most relaxed lot who say at least the corporators are not irritating them on daily basis due to elections.
