From Pillar to Post<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The heading of the post may not ring bells for most of us; as most of us regularly have to go thru the Red Tape of Bureaucracy and Apathy of Government officials. Due to the inefficiency of our Government Machinery "We The Citizens" are suffering daily even though we pay our taxes honestly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most of us have already become mute Spectators so much so that now we don't bother to complain about our own rights. I'm also going thru the inefficiency of Delhi Development Authority (DDA); which is in charge of Electrifying and Maintaining Street Lights in our area. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Here's the story: - </i></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Feb 18, 2014 I raised
complaint to DDA Street Light helpline against 50 - 60 faulty street lights in my locality. Complaint wasn't resolved in a week's time so I
again spoke with officials manning the helpline. They informed that the contractor have
closed the complaint stating that my locality doesn't falls under DDA jurisdiction.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was advised to speak with Contractor's
supervisor; he was unable to help and asked me to speak with BSES officials instead. BSES officials in turn informed
that DDA has to make payment to them towards maintenance and I should approach
DDA.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, I called up Junior Engineer (JE) of DDA but he also couldn't offer any help and asked me to contact his superior Executive
Engineer (EE). Now, this EE saheb also gave a lot of gyan about working of DDA. He informed that they have sent "Deficiency Budget" to their seniors for for approval. After approval these street lights may get be repaired. But, he also failed
to give any timeline for repair of these non functional street lights.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No action was taken till last week of March 2014 so I approached the Citizen Group "Dwarka Forum" and they forwarded by complaint to SE- Electrical
& EE- Electrical Division 5/12 on March 06, 2014. This also evoked no response and I was forced to escalate the complaint to Delhi's LG office which have a Online Grievance Redressal Portal. called "Listening Post" </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">LG's office forwarded my complaint to SE HQ Elect of DDA still no action have been taken till date i.e. April 24, 2014.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is typical example of running from Pillar to Post. As I have been made to approach the junior level of Government Machinery to the highest echelons of bureaucracy.... Still, no action at all... </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Wonder I live in a Metro or in a village???</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Quite a
few of my friends ask me why I support Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Few of them are critical towards AAP. I have been repeatedly giving answers to all their questions
individually.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But, today I thought of answering frequently asked questions of my
friends and readers thru this blog post: -</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">1) What were the achievements of Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi?</span></span></h3>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> was
formed when Jan Lokpal Bill wasn't passed by Parliament and we commoners were
chided by our elected representatives. This gave birth to AAP which fought Delhi Assembly elections and won 28 seats. It formed a </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">minority govt </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">after </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Congress </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">gave </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">unsolicited but
unconditional support. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Later Congress and BJP came together to
defeat this effective Anti-Corruption Bill </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jan Lokpal Bill</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, Arvind Kejriwal and his cabinet resigned on principles. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, in that short stint of </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>49</i> days they did a lot for Delhi; <i>here are few of the highlights:- </i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Friend's we are seeing a change in Indian Political system as people have started questioning elected representatives which is a good sign of a vibrant Democracy. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Arvind Kejriwal and other top leaders of Aam Aadmi Party always answer its critics, journalists or public.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 27.600000381469727px;">Few people are labeling Arvind Kejriwal as Escapist.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">11th Lok Sabha (1996)</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">BJP was the single largest party </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">with maximum number of seats. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">BJP and its pre poll allies got 161 + 26 = 187 seats out of 543 i.e. <u>34%</u> and </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Vajpayee Ji become the Prime Minister of India. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Results of Delhi Assembly Elections (2013) were simillar to the Fractured Mandate of LS Elections of 1996. As </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">BJP was the single largest party; with its pre poll ally they got 32 seats (</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">32+1)</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">out of 70 i.e. </span><u style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">46%</u><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But, this time BJP ran away from the battlefield and betrayed the confidence reposed by the people of Delhi as they declined the offer of LG to take over reins of Delhi. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>So, who is an escapist?....</u></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> It's BJP, as t</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">hey ran away from responsibility. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Presently BJP doesn't have leaders with intellect or statesmanship like Vajpayee Ji who can advice the present day leaders on polity. If few good leaders are there in the party their voices are being muzzled. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Still, the same party has the audacity to call AK an escapist; and they along with Congress have created hype against AK.</span></div>

my dear friends to recollect the results of 11th Lok Sabha Elections (1996)

General Elections in 2009; 15th Lok Sabha was formed. This Lok Sabha has MP's

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Does
this means that candidates from a Clean and Honest Party can not contest poll?
Is it somewhere written in our Constitution? If constitution doesn't bar any
citizen of India to contest polls than why few people are so annoyed with AAP

They always suggested me to go for a credit card, they explained me 1000 advantages of having plastic money. My view of paying thru Cash or Debit card was changed when several benefits were cited by them like:- <em>52 day credit period, No need to carry cash, online shopping, online Bill payment, special offers, free rewards, Etc. etc</em> </div><br /><p><strong>Peer pressure!</strong><br /><br />So, finally under peer pressure I started my search for the card which best suited me. Search ended with ICICI bank offering me a lifetime free Credit card with my salary account. Within 15 days of my application I was granted my first credit card <strong>“ICICI HPCL Solid Gold Card”</strong> which I used for six months (June 05 to Feb. 06).<br /><br /><strong>My Prudent Decision!</strong><br /><br />Later in March 06, as I latched on to AirTel network with a post paid connection I converted my solid gold card into co-branded<strong> “ICICI AirTel rewards HPCL Gold Card”</strong> (AirTel Rewards Card). This day today (March 10, 2007), I have completed one very rewarding year with the best Co branded Credit Card…….<br /><br /><strong>How I have been benefited!</strong><br /><br />At first it took me few weeks to understand the Nitti gritty of using a credit card sensibly. But soon I perfected this art and started enjoying all the benefits attached to Plastic Money card. <strong></strong></p><p><strong>Unique Offers</strong> </p><p>1) First I got <strong>“ Mobile office”</strong> activated on my AirTel connection. At that time its subscription charges were Rs. 600/month which I got for free. (So, a cool saving of Rs. 600*3 = Rs. 1800) * </p><p>2) Than I got the privilege customer care called <strong>“AirTel Care Touch”</strong>, which is much superior to normal 121 services * </p><p>3) Rewards point redemption against free ISD/ STD/ Local min and free value added services * This was the most enticing offer, as till date I have received <strong>credit of almost Rs. 3500/- </strong>in my AirTel bills by redeeming rewards points. </p><p>4) Also, contrary to the normal rewards structure of ICICI credit cards where reward point is offered for transaction worth Rs. 200, here <strong>2 reward points</strong> are credited for every Rs. 100 of AirTel mobile bill if payment is made thru the AirTel Rewards card. </p><p>5) <strong>Waiver of 2.5% surcharge</strong> on fuel purchases at HPCL outlets.<br /><br />Other than these offers ICICI bank comes up with very innovative loyalty rewards programs like:- <strong>Xpresss rewards points, </strong><strong>10 times rewards points, </strong><strong>Up to 100% cash back.</strong> </p><p><strong>Verdict: -</strong><br /><br />ICICI AirTel rewards HPCL Gold Card is the king among all the co-branded cards. Me have found this card much superior to my other cards/Co-Branded cards:- ABN-Amro Adlabs Card, Citibank Shoppers’ Stop Gold Card, HSBC Gold Card, SBI Lifestyle Card. I highly recommend this card to all. But be careful while spending and always pay Total Payment Due and use credit card more like a Charge Card, as revolving credit on credit cards can be <strong>HIGHLY EXPENSIVE.</strong><br /><br /><strong>p.s.</strong> Now ICICI had withdrawn many exclusive offers for AirTel subscribers, as it seems AirTel was not cooperating with the bank in reward point credit. It would be better if both parties coordinate with each other for their own benefits too.</p>Crosswordsguyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07508086629193592014noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34754972.post-1158774085332269282006-09-20T23:07:00.000+05:302006-09-20T23:11:25.340+05:30A Novice in Blogging...<strong>Hey friends....</strong><br /><br />Mi heard a lot about this medium of BLOGS.....
