@Prashanth_Krish Again, if people consistently expect & demand(vociferously) better, at some point the politicians will turn around and find a way.

There is still room for improvements within the current setup which we have not yet maximised. Let’s get there first.

[Work to live @Work_ant]

The Minister needs to go too, but absolutely no sympathy for career bureaucrats who are the root cause here.

[Work to live @Work_ant]

A transfer of an incompetent bureaucrat is a punishment to whichever dept he is transferred.

There has to be a suspension & some expectation to go back to LBSNA or wherever to get a short dose of training and then you start a new stint.

[Vaishna Roy @vaishnaroy]

The Chairman and Secretary of CBSE have been transferred? What sort of accountability is this? Why target bureaucrats? Why isn't the Education Minister taking responsibility? Dharmendra Pradhan must go.

[Work to live @Work_ant]

@sumanthraman Yes, standard screening requirement unless you have a truly open budget or extra-ordinary charm to convince candidates to lower their ask substantially.

It is a minimum courtesy for taking u up someone’s time. Seriously disappointed that you even think of this as egregious.

[Work to live @Work_ant]

Smart - create a splinter and start again, if it tracks & wins, re-assimilate.

[Ganesh Chetan @ganeshchetan]

The whole thing is a drama and scripted..

[Ramesh Srivats @rameshsrivats]

I'm never sure if transferring an official is a punishment to the official, or a punishment to the people in the area he gets transferred to.

I have a genuine question - how do these people afford SC lawyer fees? Are these handled pro bono? @gautambhatia88

[Bar & Bench - Live Threads @lawbarandbench]

Supreme Court hears case of mother seeking maintenance from son.

J. Karol: What have we come to? What do you do?

Petitioner’s counsel: I work at TCS. My salary is ₹93,500.

J. Karol: Who all are dependent on you?

Counsel: My wife and children.

Transferred not suspended, why this pusillanimity?
#CBSE

What about Minister Pradhan? Will he be rewarded coz he took BIG, BOLD action of transfer..

[Rahul Shivshankar @RShivshankar]

BIG ACTION BY MODI GOVERNMENT
CBSE Chairman and Secretary transferred over the CBSE evaluation failure.
Inquiry committee constituted to probe the procurement of On-Screen Marking (OSM) services by CBSE.

Just random thoughts on our opposition parties at the national level & #RahulGandhi

[Work to live @Work_ant]

To be an effective mass leader, you need an instinctive sense of packaging your theme or protest in a way for it to resonate. Also, you need to be carefully looking at feedback & pruning things that do not work.

And of course put in the hard yards persistently #RahulGandhi

[Adv. M @RURALINDIA]

Rahul Gandhi lacks discipline as he doesn’t stay on the Muslim hate narrative or false promises.

He lacks gravitas because none of his warnings have turned out to be inaccurate over the last 10 years.

He can’t be a competitor to Modi because he’s incapable of stooping as low

[Work to live @Work_ant]

Sometimes, when an issue is already caught the public attention, opposition can kind of stay in the background, let the citizens vent rather than try to ride their coattails and pollute the issue as well (case in point, CBSE/NEET)

[Work to live @Work_ant]

And do not keep looking at every single issue as your one & only opportunity- as can be seen this govt fumbles quite often, so the narrative will work over time if one does not go overboard in a hurry & shout shrilly for every issue.

[Work to live @Work_ant]

This IS the problem - a misaligned bureaucracy with a ruler mindset & an incredibly slow, bumbling, error-prone legal system hold India back.

Politicians have no incentive to fix because they learn to exploit both these flaws to their advantage.

[M_Vidyasagar @stellensatz]

@DivaJain2 Every policy will be "botched" if the implementation is left to Babus who have ZERO stake in implementing it properly. Their metrics for "success" are quite different: Money made, children settled abroad etc.

[Work to live @Work_ant]

What would the BJP ever be able to do without Rahul Gandhi.

Is somebody cueing up a alternate storyline for India - one in which RG quits politics in 2014. Has high potential

[Ajay Kamath @ajay43]

How is this man still holding on to his portfolio? What level of incompetence will be considered adequate to sack him?

[J Gopikrishnan @jgopikrishnan70]

CBSE should not have changed traditional manual exam paper checking by teachers to On Screen Marking system of scanning of answer sheets ... Digitisation methods can't be applied every where .... Best is always district wise centralised manual evaluation of papers

[Work to live @Work_ant]

@LloydMathias @tunkuv Are we not more preachy & pompous in the last 10 years than before? Is it recency bias that you forget this - our EAM went ballistic in several public forums before unexpectedly becoming reserved?

[M_Vidyasagar @stellensatz]

In 1995, India and China were spending comparable % of their GDPs on R&D. Since then, not only did China's GDP pull away from that of India, but also the % spent on R&D.

For India, the peak was in 2008.

P.S. Ignore who tweeted it, and focus on the chart
