How does one react to recent events? A Chief Minister of one the most important states is out of job. A Union Cabinet Minister had to leave despite the coalition blackmail his party indulged in. Two associates of the IOA Chief are arrested!
So does this mean finally there is beginning of the end for evil of corruption in India? We cannot conclude that, however somewhere there is a good way of commencement of the biggest overhaul and clean-up operation in history of India.
The value of the telecom scam alone is estimated by the CAG by various methods goes up to Rs 1,70,000 crore. The inquiry in to both Aadarsh scam and CWG shame is still not finished.
Wall Street Journal based on a report by Washington D.C. research group Global Financial Integrity on 17 Nov 2010 says India lost $462 billion in illicit and unaccounted assets from 1948 to 2008 as a result of tax evasion, corruption, bribery and other financial crime.
That money could have been used to have a 'tax less' budget for 30 years! And there could not have been need to get loans from World Bank and IMF.
The opposition is doing its best to corner Congress-led government. And rightly so! Sometimes I wonder in all these events, how come PMO did not act swiftly & avert consequences.
This does not necessarily mean BJP and other parties are clean. Cancer of corruption has spread everywhere. Congress is targeted more simply because it in power for more number of years!
Nobody can question personal integrity and character of PM, however fingers are pointed towards role of PMO increasingly. Supreme Court's intervention is the case in point.
People demand that CBI should be made autonomous and free of political interference. There is no political will to do so.
Media bashing is common but media played an important role in all these instances of exposing frauds. Lets continue this struggle against the system.
