Finance In Motion
 Delhi:
The moving power of big business is not to be trifled with. Recently,
Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha found himself invited to a function to
honour Reliance Industries chief Dhirubhai Ambani in Mumbai. He had a
ready excuse for missing it: the function clashed with a meeting of the
Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA). Then-presumably-the proverbial
cell phones began ringing. The PMO cancelled the CCEA meeting. A surly
Sinha got the message and travelled to Mumbai where he made off-the-cuff
remarks on business ethics.
Loves Me Not
Delhi: Thuingaleng Muivah, general secretary
of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (I-M), is peeved with the
Vajpayee Government. He feels that not only has the Union Home Ministry
"reneged" on the June 14 cease-fire agreement, it has also been
less than generous in dealing with the NSCN(I-M) leadership. The Indian
passport given to Muivah allows him to travel only to the Benelux countries
and the Philippines. But what has really got Muivah's goat is that the
passport is valid only for one year.
Generation Gap
Delhi: Nobody should complain about diversity
of belief in the family, but the father-son duo of L.M. Singhvi and Abhishek
Singhvi seem to have spread their loyalties too wide. Legal eagle L.M.
Singhvi is a BJP member of the Rajya Sabha. Eaglet Abhishek was recently
appointed AICC "co-spokesperson" at Sonia Gandhi's instance.
He created a flutter in the AICC by accepting the case for Union HRD Minister
M.M. Joshi in a suit filed by M.L. Sondhi, ex-director of the Indian Council
of Social Sciences Research.
 Bad
Karma?
Raipur: Ruling in solitary splendour
appears to be Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Ajit Jogi's aim. After felling
one-time chief ministerial aspirant Arvind Netam he has turned his attention
to state Industries Minister Mahendra Karma. Karma is now implicated in
a furniture scam and may find himself out of the Cabinet in the next reshuffle.
