Political corruption irrespective of political colour

During emergency of 1975-76, the corruption has declined due to strong administration and for taking effective steps against the culprits. Now the effective administration is missing. What ever steps are taken that is not sufficient to create fear in the mind of the culprit. Another thing is that there are few able administrator, who are supressed by the Politicians. more

Dear Gopinathji, I agree with that these 9 steps will to some extent reduce prevailing corruption. But to prevent future corruption we have to withdraw all big denomination notes of Rs.1000, 500 and 100 as bribes are paid usually in big denomination notes. All transactions above Rs.1000 should be through banks only, cheques, online transfers, debit/credit cards only. No one will take bribes in cheques. more

What Mr Gopinath Sarangi has written is more or less known to all including honest Ministers, MPs and MLAs. When honest politicians and Bureaucrats are helpless what can helpless public do? It needs a revolution very much like the freedom movement before 1947. more

I do not agree that the more the money the safer you are. The main thing is you need be clever and alert and at times shrewd when your are honest Government officer. Once your are well versed about the government and legal rules the minister in power too thinks twice before attacking you directly. That's what my husband did as long as he was a government officer. more
