Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh
says
Corruption is the
greatest
impediment in good governance,
in development, in equi -distribution of
GDP growth, in delivery of justice and it also
tarnishes the image of
the country in
the world.
He is PM for last more than six
years. But he could not do anything to stop corrupt practices. He is
helpless.
Home Minster Mr. Chimdambaram has
admitted at Devos
economic summit that
hardly 50 percent of fund allotted for
development is spent on actual work.
Mr. Rajiv Gandhi during his
tenure as PM had admitted 20 to 25 years ago that hardly 10 to 15 percent of
development fund reaches in the hands of real beneficiary. Similarly fund spent
on development of infrastructure is lost among various middle men.
More clearly contractors have
to
pay bribe to various officers and
ministers to the tune of 50 per cent
of
value of work order they are allotted, even if it is done
through
legal process of tender.
Not only this even for good
posting and timely or before time promotion one officer has to give bribe to
competent authority. Even to get rid of transfer to remote and critical posting
one has to offer costly gifts to transferring authority. Why not will he flatter
to his boss? What is the need of doing honest duty for which an employee is paid
if all normal and abnormal benefits accrues to him by dint of only flattery and
by offering some costly gifts or by paying prevalent rate of bribe? It is better
to earn and let others earn bribe, This is the slogan of the day when economic
reformation , economic freedom is given to all in addition to fundamental
freedom given by Indian Constitution.
As such Government is helpless in
controlling Mafia contractors ,corrupt officers, ,investigating officers, CBI
officers because all are appointed on the basis of quality of flattery they
extend to Ministers and their immediate bosses and honestly share the bribe they
earn with Ministers, babus and government servants. A gang of flatterers run
the government. A gang of flatterers surround each top ranked officer in each
office. Culture developed in the government department is open secret which is
“earn and let others earn”.
Never be dishonest in offering
share of bribe you earn with the bosses and be sure that none can harm you, you
will grow in power, you will grow in wealth and you will in social status and
social recognition.
Honest and devoted workers are
rejected in promotion processes. Dishonesty is the best policy at least when
Congress Party is in power at center or in a state. Leaders of Congress Party
ware well versed in blackmailing opposition parties on the issue of historical
case of so called communalism or secularism or keeping voters pleased by useless
toys of promising caste based reservation to various segments of
society.
PM has admitted rampant
corruption not once, twice or thrice but many
times during six years tenure of PM.I am unable to
understand who has power and who is empowered by voters to cure cancer of
corruption.
In our country when PM has got
no
time and no capacity to ensure that
legitimate instruction given by him
to
telecommunications minister is obeyed by Mr Raja in true spirit. He allows the
fraud to perpetuate even though instruction given is not followed. He does not
think it wise to ensure compliance of his orders. This s why all offices in our
country only issues guidelines but never take efforts to ensure its execution in
the field and never try to punish those who violate the laid down norms. Laws
are made only for the sake of laws. Rules are made not to be followed but to
please the opposing persons. Leaders preach the sermons to public but do not
think it necessary to follow the same. One after other committees are set up to
investigate the allegation of corruption against government officers and
ministers simply to close the chapter once for all or to shut the mouth of
revolting people or to silence the political parties who put hindrances in their
path which leads to acquiring maximum personal wealth.
When
PM can allow willfully Mr. Raja to cause loss to the
country to the
tune of one lace crore
of rupees, he cannot dream of good governance.
His action demonstrate that it is wise to remain silent
spectator of
all corrupt practices and
enjoy the fruits of power and encash his
clean image .
None of complaints lodged in the
office of PM or that of FM or President of India or for that matter to any
office owned by the government by lacs of aggrieved persons in the country is
properly attended to ensure its logical
conclusion. When office of PM or CM or that of
President of India is
inactive and when
they fail to demonstrate their value system they often
espouse and preach before public they cannot expect and
should not expect
junior officers to
work honestly and sincerely.
Finance Minster Mr. Pranab
Mukherjee and his fellow colleague Minister for Agriculture
Mr.Sharad Pawar have also almost surrendered
before
relentless price rise. They have
completely failed to control price
rise
and inflation. They say that government has got no magic wand which can stop
price rise. They have openly admitted that price rise has gone out of their
control because they cannot punish officers working in various government
departments, they cannot force their fellow politicians to follow discipline ,
they cannot punish black marketers and hoarderer business men because it their
financial contribution which makes the political party able to fight election.To
be more clear election funding is possible only when black money is allowed to
grow .It is therefore entirely foolish to dream that government will ever take
real and effective steps to stop black money creation in the country.
Government
cannot stop growth of black money within the country, how can they get success
in bringing back black money parked in foreign banks. When CMD and ED and all
top bankers are corrupt they easily allow black money movement. All black money
move from one bank to other bank through Indian banks only.
Black money is always remitted to foreign centers with the knowledge and with the support of corrupt bankers, corrupt ED officials, corrupt IT officials , corrupt custom officials and all other corrupt officials who are supposed to stop movement of black money or creation of black money. After all it is the money of corrupt politicians and money of corrupt officers which will be unearthed if they take corrective step and to cure the cancer of corruption.
They have willfully made the
judiciary weak and ineffective and they never bother to bring out judicial
reformation or police reformation as promised by politicians from time to time.
.They cannot reverse the policy of liberalization and globalization launched by
honourable clean Mr. Manmohan Singh in 1991 because these policies of
reformation have given them enormous opportunity to accumulate wealth .And it is
the unregulated freedom given to business community that they earn unreasonable
profit and earn hundreds and thousands of crores of rupees and eventually they
agree to give considerable amount to politicians of ruling party None can stop
this vicious circle and none can cure this cancer of corruption. Whimsical
transfers, arbitrary posting and arbitrary promotion are the root cause of all
social malady and economic disparity growing year after year. To add fuel to
fire is the weak judicial and police system in the country.
As such we can imagine of real
reformation in the country and we can provide real relief to poor common men
only when we are able to make police active, effective, quick, honest and real
social workers, real security providers and real fighters against injustice.
Freedom granted by Late Mahatma Gandhi is lost, completely lost and it confined
only a few hands of politicians, government officials and a few business men. We
have to bring about desired reformation in police and judicial system as early
as possible. Otherwise number of extremists will grow, network of Maoist and
terrorists will grow and ultimately Anarchy will replace democracy, so called
secularism and ancient socialism.
Indian politicians have been
harping on poverty alleviation for last 40 years. Since the days of bank’s
nationalization they have changed the slogan of Social welfare to financial
inclusion but the there is no actual improvement visible in the pitiable
position of 90% of Indian population. Only God can save common men of India
until our judicial system and police system is honest and perfect, active and
effective and until they are provided adequate manpower and adequate
infrastructure to fight against perpetrators of injustice.
