MODI TO FOCUS ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Asking people's support to script a glorious future for India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi tonight said he would be using social media to communicate with people across the world as he believed in a platform where views are shared. "I am a firm believer in the power of technology and social media to communicate with people across the world. I hope this platform creates opportunities to listen, learn and share one's views," he said in his letter to fellow Indians and citizens of the world. The letter posted on the official website of the Prime Minister said, "Through this website you (people) will also get all the latest information about my speeches, schedules, foreign visits and lot more. "I will also keep informing you about innovative initiatives undertaken by the government of India." He said the May 16 verdict delivered a mandate for development, good governance and stability. "As we devote ourselves to take India's development journey to newer heights, we seek your support, blessings and active participation. "Together we will script a glorious future for India. Let us together dream of a strong, developed and inclusive India that actively engages with the global community to strengthen the cause of world peace and development." 
The website also gives an insight of Modi's firm belief that transparency and accountability are the two cornerstones of any pro-people government. "Transparency and accountability not only connect the people closer to the government but also make them equal and integral part of the decision making process," the section 'Quest for Transparency' in the official website said. It said that during his record four terms as Chief Minister of Gujarat, Modi demonstrated strong commitment to an open and transparent government. "Rules and policies were not framed in AC chambers but among the people. Draft policies were put online for people to give their feedback and suggestions. "At the same time, initiatives such as 'Garib Kalyan Melas' ensured that fruits of development directly reach the poor without any red tape." It said model of 'One Day Governance' focused on providing time-bound services to the citizens by leveraging the e-governance infrastructure. The main objective of this was to ensure provision of all government-to-citizen services covered under the Citizens' Charter. Modi's strong resolve to transparency backed by the manner in which he put this commitment to practice indicates an era of open, transparent and people-centric government for the people of India, it said.

MEDICAL NEGLEGENCE PUT CONSUMER FORA BUSY

YEAR 2013 REVIEW Cases related to deficiency in services by railways, airlines and automobile majors kept the various consumer fora in the country busy while they also dealt sternly with rising instances of medical negligence and "black sheep" in the health sector in 2013. Doctors and hospitals got a stern message from consumer fora, which asked the Centre and the Medical Council of India (MCI) to identify and take action against the "black sheep" in the profession who did not hesitate to put patients' lives at risk for greed. "We can only suggest to MCI to take note of the prevailing atmosphere in the medical profession and identify such black sheep as are responsible for creating an impression in the public mind that they are being milked by greedy doctors. "Government should take steps to protect patients from unscrupulous medical practitioners," the East Delhi District Consumer Forum had said while directing a city-based clinic to pay...

MANMOHAN NEEDS SONIA BACKUP...?

Scoffing at Congress' assertion that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and party president Sonia Gandhi shared a "unique" relationship, BJP today said though Singh was technically at the helm, the real power rests in the hands of Gandhi. "Andhra Pradesh may not have power but Dr Manmohan Singh needs the charging of power by Sonia Gandhi to establish his authority as Prime Minister. "Should the Prime Minister of a big country like India need to have the charging from a battery to show his own authority. Manmohan Singh is in chair but not in power," said BJP's Deputy Leader in Rajya Sabha Ravi Shankar Prasad.
