Ulta Palta Alliance ki Jai Ho

ULTA PALTA ALLIANCE KI JAI HO
Oh, I am not talking here of the whispers doing rounds in the Sassooon and BJ Medical College, Pune of the Congress led United Progessive Alliance (UPA) political party in New Delhi that runs the Central government, but of the Ulta Palta Alliance that exists over here.This alliance is more of a powerful group that raises its head based on casteism, supported and guided by two senior bureaucrats Mr. Alhat and Ramkhambe of the Medical Education Department, and who hail from Bhor taluka and Hadapsar suburb of Pune.

Whispers and gossips of these two senior bureaucrats frequenting the Sassoon and BJ Medical College regularly during their trips to Pune and going to dine with the Dean, Dr. Arun Jamkar is no secret. But what important gossip is heard is that a powerful lobby of doctors that consist Dr. Ghorpade, HOD, Chest and TB, Dr. Sanjiv Thakur, HOD, Surgery, Dr. Bartake, Associate Professor, Orthopaedics, Dr. Gaikwad, Associate Professor, Chest and TB, Dr. P.B. Burute, Deputy Medical Superintendent of Sassoon, Dr. Mhaske, HOD, Skin and VD, and several other doctors from the Scheduled Tribe and Scheduled Caste, are active, trying to settle scores using their casteist card to browbeat doctors and senior officials including the Dean of the College. This is a dangerous trend and is destroying the fabric of the hospital and instituion. This element of danger should end at the earliest, before it causes damage to one the the biggest hospital in the country.

It's so sorry and pity to watch relatives of the patients push the stretecher trollies all around the hospial instead of the Class IV servants, who are constantly absent and no action is being taken by the hospital administration to discipline them and make them accountable. Rumors, gossip and whispers put the blame on the Deputy Medical Superintendent Dr. Burute, who is alleged to be protecting these elements.

Neither the Chief Minister, nor any of his cabinet colleagues are interested to set the things right. Even Members of Parliament and Members of the Legislative Assembly or Council, turn a blind eye to the going ins in the hospital corridors or the college. The secretary of the MED, a bureaucrat, is also not bothered as to what the hell the patients and their relatives go through in the hospital. What is his interest, if not the hospital and medical college?

Corruption is wide spread, its wide open. You can see the peons Chandu, Chavan, Mate, Kumbhar and Balu, haggling with patients or their relatives to get their work done at a price. I once heard recently Chandu and his lot making fun of the Medical Superintendent Dr. P.S. Pawar. "This Pawarsaheb is a big joker. He is a stupid person, talks lots of nonsense, sits with his legs across, as if he is sitting for lunch or dinner in house. He makes everyone run for no reason. He disputes with his Senior RMO Dr. Shetty. argues with him loudly. And joining his chorus are other idiots like Dr. Dhase, Lad, Shinde, Todmal, Thikekar, etc. Everyone is laughing at this unique character Pawarsaheb," said Chandu.

"Arre, forget all, your boss is big joke all around in the hospital and college. He makes you, Kumbhar and Chavan, do errand jobs of distributing his fake medicine Madhusar, and you people run all around the world for him," said Balu, the peon of Dr. Burute. The other peon Chavan chipped in " Our boss is more interested in making money out of the medical bills. Huge money is taken on the pretext that it has to be shared with the Minister and other officials. God knows the truth."

So many things, so many scams and frauds, corruption and indiscipline is happenning in the Sassoon and BJ Medical College, crores of rupees are being missapropriated, files are missing, everything illegal is taking place, and the government is sleeping. The Ulta Palta Alliance (UPA) group is getting more and more strong by each day. And why not, because they have God fathers right in the Ministry.

God help us all.
