OFF THE RECORD review on winter session…
1. Dhavangale’s nightmare continues….
When the farmer loan waiver issue is at its peak
in the ongoing winter session, the company’s image who had bagged the contract, Innowave IT Infrastructure Ltd, continues to go down the drain….Their founders, Ajay & Vijay Dhavangale of Nagpur are set to face yet another embarrassment by the hands of state government. If sources in the CMO are to be believed, CM Devendra Fadnavis has given instructions to the UD department to rip off Dhavangale’s rights from the UD department after ripping the company off from the DBT. The firm was all set to bag the prestigious & money making contract of undertaking all major municipal corporations under its wing to digitalise it. But CM Fadnavis known to NOT support anything wrong even if they belong to Nagpur, instructed his trusted aides to cancel all the orders given in favour of Dhavangale for the corporations…An order for the same will soon sent to them….Yay!! Another victory for me…The state government can take its own sweet time to thank me for exposing this vicious company, its intentions & its directors….
2. Hotel Radisson of Nagpur was the new MLA hostel…
Yes, in true sense…Fun was on the first day…SOn-in-LAw of our speaker who is also an MLC couldn’t hold on to his emotions when the front desk attendant, a young lady refused to handover room to him on time, as in case to most of us, as the rooms those were preoccupied & were not empty…Major volley of abuses, attitude was given by this MLC…Best part is, the intern who was at the front desk happened to be the owner of Radisson’s relative who would have funded this MLC for his lifetime for his elections…Never show your power & throw weight in front of people who you think are smaller than you….Similar case with Naseem’s Khan’s PA…Though the staff & hotel was very busy due to session, some small things, mismanagement is expected..but PA of Naseem Khan again went down to abuse the intern, and was later pulled by management for his misconduct…Why, I mean why, do we have to showcase power & attitude all the time…A lion does not need to roar all the time….
3. Jai Hind, Jai Maharashtra, Jai Vidharbha-Sharad Pawar…
As the rally of NCP & Congress gathered support of 20,000 people on the 12th of December, the speeches of Dhananjay Munde & NCP supremo Sharad Pawar made the impact. But the concluding part of Sharad Pawar who was seen screaming through his lungs were, ” Jai Hind, Jai Maharahstra & Jai VIDHARBHA” surely raised some eyebrows…I’m telling you this man is just un-matchable even at this age…Fighting cancer, internal party issues, Sharad Pawar will continue to reign this state for the next 5 years looking at his enthusiasm…let anyone rule the state, but even if he has 10 MLA’s left, this man will blackmail/dictate government what he wants….now he exactly knew what is BJP’s weak spot…Separating Vidharbha from Maharashtra…now Pawar will do all the sloganeering, but when time comes, he will withdraw his support for separate Vidharbha & join the opposition conveniently …those who know him closely will vouch for this…By the way, in this rally for Congress what was Dhiraj Deshmukh doing dressed in all white? I thought Amit Deshmukh was the MLA…are we seeing any change there?
4. PA’s of MLA’s are frustrated….
The condition of Priavte Assistants or the PA’s of the MLA’s (not mInisters) is no less than of peons working in our offices..firstly they are not allowed to enter the Vidhan Bhavan’s inner lounge where MLA’s/MLC’s come out for tea & some chat…Even if they have to handover a single paper, they have to handover the same to the security guards who will pass it to the peons of the Vidhan Bhavan and the same will be handed over to the MLA in the assembly…Secondly they don’t have any place to sit in the scorching sun, no money is given by the MLA for their food or travel..on top they have to arrange for the car for the MLA from local contacts which is also paid by the PA. The only solace is that the MLA stay in 5 star hotels during sessions so that guarantees them a bed at the MLA hostel…
