Do you think commercial dealings of MPs and MLAs be disclosed? Rajya Sabha has reliably rejected an RTI application for the same.
In fact in my opinion commercial activity should not be allowed to be undertaken by any MLA and MP, or any person who is holding responsible post of the country. If government is reluctant to abide with this moral necessity, at least all MLAs and MPs must be forced to disclose their business activities. There is no doubt that the business activity must be disclosed and this information under RTI must be shared with public.
An officer working in government department is supposed not to involve himself in any business activity and to declare even all purchases made by him every financial year when the purchase cost of the article is more than Rs.5000/. There is conduct rule for all officers working in any government department, bank or insurance companies. Similarly there must be some conduct rule for MLAs and MPs who holds the key of the country and who have been invested with such huge power that they have the capacity to make or mar the country. Obviously power must be accompanied with sense of accountability.
It is however open secret that most of business activities undertaken by elected representatives like Ministers are in the name of their kith and kin or friends and relatives. There is no doubt to me that most of the ministers are engaged in business activities and hence there is none to stop them or force them to disclose the same or unearth the true story. It is known to all that all officers are required to submit annual statement of assets and liability every year without fail by the end of May to be eligible for annual increment or promotion. But there is no such forceful application of rule on MLA and MPs.
However it is only media who can unearth the real story of all MLAs and MPs and portray the real picture on TV and newspapers. But media will take notice of the same when either they are paid or pressurized by opponents of any VIP or any media man have personal animosity with any VIP of the country.

Police verifaction should be necessary for MLA & MP
When a person with criminal or police record is disqualified for government service, should a politician with such a record and after winning an election be permitted to head a government?
There is no justification in allowing criminals or even a person (who is accused of serious crime or with police record) entry into assembly or parliament when even a simple clerk cannot be recruited in such cases. Even for simple post in government departments or banks police verification is necessary but unfortunately police examination report is also overlooked in case of VIPs and political leaders.
But unfortunately in our country even terrorist Kasab who was seen, viewed, telecasted, video recorded by many, as committing crime of terror attack is not being treated as criminal as long as case is going on against him in various courts. Kasab who had admitted his crime has also backtracked after knowing the truth of Indian judiciary and Indian government. In our country I aprehand even Kasab can contest an election and become minister if elected as long as he is punished by court of law.
In the same way, our political leaders plead of being innocent even if they are facing numerous serious charges in several cases lodged in various courts. As long as courts do not punish him or her, he or she can contest an election and become MLA or MP but also Minister, CM of a state or even PM of the country. It is India where government takes 25 years to grant permission to CBI to initiate action against Mr. Sajjan Kumar, Congress MP involved in Anti Sikh Riot of 1984.It is India where after 20 years sad story of Ruchika and her family is exposed and then action is initiated against the sinner Mr. Rathore Ex-DGP. In is India where
Political leaders and VIP of this country like Madhu Koda or Lalu Yadav EX-CM or DGP Rathore know the truth of Indian system of administration and judiciary and they know the trick to mend the system as per they desire and this is why their cases are not decided even in two or three decades. Politicians and VIPs of our country take advantage of corrupt system and exploit innocent common men.

Ruchika case , an eye opener
Ruchika lost her life, her family suffered for years. Real culprit Mr. Rathore got one after other promotions and better posting and eventually retired. There are numerous such instances which are unnoticed but the victims have been suffering for several years. It is really a fun that all human right bodies, woman organization and media remained silent for last 19 years in case of Ruchika till court delivered judgement.It should not be surprising that in a day or two all hue and cry will subside and the aggrieved families will continue to be tortured like Ruchika’s family person.
When most of the Ministers, MPs and MLAs at state level are corrupt how can they inculcate good practices among IAS officers, IPS officers, judges, other functional heads and subordinate staffs?
When person like Madhu Koda or Lalu Yadav or Mayawati or Om Prakash Chautala or Bhajan Lal become head of a state, corrupt officers will get powerful and cream posting and continue to be awarded with quickest promotions whereas on the contrary good and honest officers working in the administration will be shunted away, deprived of promotion and placed at non-effective dormant posts. One can imagine the fate of the state in such position when the head is the most corrupt.
Since the Chief Minister of Harayana Mr. Bansi Lal or Mr. Chautala or Mr. Bhajan Lal was corrupt they went on patronizing and promoting corrupt person like Mr. Rathore. Such heavy weights in politics and in administration do not face any problem in managing even judiciary and police departments. When the person is powerful and corrupt, he can manage even court of law and this is why court could deliver judgment in almost 20 years. Even the unavoidable punishment is ensured to be bare minimum i.e. six month imprisonment and that too bailable.It is not astonishing in the prevailing corrupt system that the culprit got the bail and now moving freely in the market with laughing face whereas the victim’s family is moving from pillar to post for getting justice. Obviously it is not Mr.Rathore or Mr. Chautala who are alone responsible for such sorry state of affairs, there are many more behind the scene who worked as catalyst in not only materializing the ugly motive of Mr. Rathore but also keeping him in stream .
It cannot be denied that when the top in any office or in the government is weak and corrupt, the bottom-line is bound to be corrupt, inefficient and dishonest. It is not only Ruchika but there are millions of people who have been tortured by Indian corrupt system. Every day and everywhere such type of exploitations and torturing are taking place. Media take cognizance of one or two cases and then they too go for hibernation.
Old proverb “survival for the fittest” no more holds good. Now a day’s survival is possible only for the person who is well versed in flattery to bosses, to high command in the party and who can earn money through ill methods and shares the same with his bosses. As such it is not astonishing that corrupt persons are placed at top posts in almost all offices.
Whimsical promotion, whimsical transfer and posting are the root cause of all types of irregularities, deficiencies, corruption, exploitations, injustices, delayed justice, denial of promotion, and mal-administration in the family, in the society and in the country as a whole. Whenever a new departmental head joins his duty or a new Chief Minister takes charge of the state, or a new government comes to power at the center, chain of whimsical transfers takes place causing unwarranted annoyance among talented and good workers. Whimsical promotions to flatterer juniors superseding senior good workers are very common in our country.
As long as we are unable to provide a reasoning based transfer and merit based promotion and as long as the wrong doers are not punished by courts in the country in the quickest timeframe we cannot imagine of stopping corrupt practices prevailing and spreading like cancer in the society.
.
I have been advocating abolishing Interview panel in all promotion processes and eliminate all avenues which give scope for whimsical decisions in all departments and in all organizations because Interview is such a test where Interviewers can easily spoil the candidate’s career. Similarly delegated power of transfer invested in top post should be diluted and well defined because it is the power which more often than not, gives rise to corrupt practices, demotivates good workers and promotes bad culture in the system.. Key role is played by elements like bribe, gift, sources, godfathers, and flattery possessed by employee in transfers and posting or during interview,
Last but not the least; our courts cannot deliver justice in decades. This eliminates the fear from the minds of culprits and the aggrieved person is constrained to bear with the tortures thrown upon him or her by the system in systemic manner. . Justice delayed is justice denied. And when there is no hope of justice even from court, aggrieved person is left with no alternative other than digesting the poison of injustice.
If anyone is seriously interest to avoid recurrence of story like Ruchita’s story, one should leave no stone unturned to strike at the root cause behind such sad story. It is very much essential to punish all those who were involved directly or indirectly in supporting ill – motives of Mr. Rathore. Necessary police reformation, judicial reformation, administrative reformations have to be carried out in the shortest period and political intervention in these spheres has to be completely stopped to achieve a long lasting and sustainable solution to shortcomings and deficiencies of the system..
In fact India has plenty of laws and India lacks only person who can boldly enforce the existing laws to punish the real culprit and save the innocent. Those who are talking of framing new laws and new rules or amending the constitution are making simply Bakwas and they in fact do not want to do anything, rather inclined to support the culprit.
To prove the effectiveness of the government, it must take immediate steps and respond spontaneously at least after the happening of an ugly incident and decision of the court. In case of Ruchika, all including political leaders and chief ministers should be punished who directly or indirectly supported the corrupt person like Rathore to go up the ladder in his career, who diluted the police case or court cases against Rathore either by false witnessing or wrong recommendation either in writing or by building pressure through phone or musclemen , who took unjustified and unwarranted action against Ruchika, who intimidated Ruchika and her family, who contributed in created an environment which forced Ruchika to commit suicide or those who killed her and all those who tortured brother of Ruchika by framing false charges. Mere stripping of police medal or stopping of pension is not enough to punish person like Rathore .It is more important to see whether the government is able to punish those person also who supported Mr. Rathore in carrying out his ill motive. and to punish who indirectly colluded with him.
At least 100 persons should be punished, suspended or dismissed or jailed or booked to task to create a fear in the minds of all who perpetuate and promote wrong culture in the public life. The case of Ruchika should sound alarm bell for all culprits and the clear cut message should be visible and understandable that government is serious to maintain good governance.

Poverty Removal
Report published in popular Newspaper on poverty status of the country has not defined the present level of poverty line based on which it has been concluded that about 37% of Indian population lives under poverty line but it definitely exposes the true story of all development expenses done by Central and state government during last 60 years. In the name of poverty alleviation various governments have spent billions and billions of rupees every year but the result is that actual number and actual percentage of persons living below poverty line in India in general has been moving up and up. Poor people are growing poorer and their pain has been increasing year after year.
Government all the time talks of GDP growth and tells with pride that India will lead the world. This story will also open the eye of such VIPs, politicians, social reformers, administrators and economists who talk of social inclusion but fail to do any thing in this regard.
Prices of all commodities have been moving up every day and the position of majority of Indians have been becoming alarming day by day due to erosion in their purchasing capacity day by day. Our Government talks of merger of banks, reservation for minorities, increasing the domain of OBC for some caste or the other but do not try to understand whether so called GDP growth is really benefiting poor people or confined to a few percentage of rich persons.
Our beloved Finance Minster do not try the understand the gravity of increasing pain of more than 90% of Indian population due to unprecedented price rise forgets to take care of poor and people living below poverty line and the increasing pain of such poor people. He has to understand that every talk of GDP growth is farce until it reaches in the hands of real poor.

Who will save good officers when Top officer is corrupt
This refers to news items that union bank official (General Manager who is right hand of CMD of the bank) accused in Rs.14.28 crore fraud published in newspaper.
There are many such instances in the bank. When person with the help of www is promoted, when yesmanism is the sole criteria for promotion in any industry, it is unavoidable and quite certain that branches of that bank will be manned by poor quality officers, administrative offices will be manned by corrupt officials and the consequence is (more often than not) that quality of assets of such bank is so bad that ultimately it cause loss to the bank. It is different that exposure of such bad persons take place not by inherent strength of system but due to weakness of borrowers or some public complaints which seldom occurs. But by the time such exposure takes place it is too late. Not only have this, such corrupt officers caused huge losses to human resource by rejecting good officers in promotion processes. Therefore until the root cause of malady is removed such instances will continue to spurt in future.
There are many such GMs, DGMs, and AGMs. who have got elevated to such high post by dint of not their good work but by their habit of keeping their bosses happy and by indulging in unabated flattery and extending costly gifts to their bosses. This is bitter truth of entire system. Who will cure it when birds of the same feather have flocked in the top echelon?
Such person must be hanged because they have spoilt the career of several good officers. Without flattery and extending gifts, costly gifts one cannot dream of promotion whatsoever talented he or she may be. Such instances of involvement of GM of a bank in fraud also cast aspersion on the honesty and integrity of CMD of the Bank. There are many victims of malafide intention of such top officials

Who is behind Madhu Koda
This refers to news item that Madhu Koda men deposited Rs.640 crores in cash in a PSU bank violating the norms and guidelines set by RBI with respect to acceptance of deposit n cash and opening of new accounts. As per Anti Money Laundering Act every bank branch has to report RBI if cash transaction taking place in any day is more than Rs.10.00 lacs. It means the deposit of Rs.640 crores taken place in a bank must come to the notice of CMD of that bank and also top bosses of RBI and Ministry of Finance. But none of the responsible officer took pain to look into such a big transaction taking place in a bank’s branch. None thought it fit to look into reason behind abnormal spurt in deposit of a bank branch. All reports received in a controlling office are either filed to ignored willfully to gain false image. Even a team of vetern Chartered Accountant could not notice the irregularity in such a big amount transaction.After all it is financial power which empowers terrorists to conduct terror attack on India and it is banking channel which helps them to transact their inward or outward remittance to feed terror camps. Money in hundreds of crores is not remitted in jute bags but through banks only.I therefore always say that there is Raju of Satyam in all so called good companies and there is person like Harshad Mehta who can twist the rule book as er whims and fancies .
Bank Manager can do anything to get deposit because Bank management gives value to those officers who are expert in mobilizing deposit even through ill means. There are hundreds of Managers who indulge in reckless financing in the name of achievement of target with hidden agenda of earning money for self and paying bribe to fetch deposit from government departments or various cash rich person or corporates.
One CMD spoilt Indian Bank to such a large extent that it took ten years for the bank to restore its old good image. As long as the corrupt CMD was in power none had the courage to protest his ill-motive work culture and ill motivated promotions and transfers ordered by him. As long as Madhu Koda was a Minister in the government headed by Arjun Munda CM of Jharkhand and as long as Madhu Koda himself was CM of Jharkhand from 2006 to 2008 none of IAS or IPS officer or even ministers in central government had the courage to protest and stop the corrupt practices of Mr. Koda. Even Naxalites were given the assistance of fund of Rs.1000 crore by Head of the government and none in banking industry could notice the illegal transaction, not to speak of nipping in the bud. None in Income Tax department or any Law enforcing agency could notice the illegal financial transaction taking place at the instance of Madhu Koda. Hundreds of bikes and cars were distributed by Madhu Koda men and none could doubt the motive behind such charity. This is possible under the umbrella of central government headed by the honest and clean Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh. It is not out of place to mention here that it was UPA whose support could make it possible to make Madhu Koda, chief Minister of Jharkhand. It was Lalu Yadav, the scam master who wholeheartedly supported Madhu Koda, an independent MLA to take charge of the state just with the ill motive of keeping BJP out of power.
Everyone worship the person who is in power and the one who dares to utter a single word against the head of the government or head of the department he is to face the toughest posting and such anti boss person can never visualize any promotion or good posting in his career. Every bank in fact in indulged in malpractices in garnering deposits and extending credits to traders .And it is a bitter truth that every banker sitting at the top of affairs knows very well the ground reality of transactions taking place in a bank and understands the pitiable real health of a bank .But who will bell the cat when Ministers and government also promotes and irrigates such bad culture. Harshad Mehta in eighties could cheat CMDs of various banks, RBI and Ministry of Finance not because he was a very talented, educated or a financial expert but because he could understand the weakness of person sitting at the top, he knew the weakness of bankers, he know how to befool government officers through bribes either in cash or in kinds or by extending unwarranted charity to officers, serving him by a car or air ticket.
This is why banking is sitting on explosive of Non Performing assets and gaining name by mobilizing deposit, it may be from anti nationals or even from terrorists. All circulars or guidelines from RBI are nothing but sermons to be preached and kept in files. Even RBI top brasses are happy when a CMD flatter and say yes to every idea mooted by RBI officers. Ministers are happy only when a CMD implements all his policies, ideas and make finances to oral instructions given by FM or his colleagues.
This is why one after other exposure takes place, media makes clamour, committees are formed and finally matter is forgotten. Nothing happens to a person who commits mistakes willingly and nothing happens to those who indirectly support the ill-motivated actions of the corrupt person. As long as we change the culture of flattery and yesmanism, our country cannot dream of execution of any good policy. As long as criminals are getting respect and love from the society honest and talent person cannot come forward to save the country from the hands of corrupt persons.
It is the system which always said to fail but the person behind the scene is never booked to task. Petty clerks and officers working are always victime of sch a big scam. Lalu and Madhu Koda will be alwsays free and shine like black gold.

yesmanism in want of better posting and early Promotion lead to corruption
Whimsical promotion, whimsical transfer and posting are the root cause of all types of irregularities, deficiencies, corruption, and mal-administration in the family, in the society and in the country as a whole. Whenever a new departmental head joins his duty or a new Chief Minister takes charge of the state, or a new government comes to power at the center, chain of whimsical transfers takes place causing unwarranted annoyance among talented and good workers. Whimsical promotions to flatterer juniors superseding senior good workers are very common in our country.
As long as we are unable to provide a reasoning based transfer and merit based promotion and as long as the wrong doers are not punished by courts in the country in the quickest timeframe we cannot imagine of stopping corrupt practices prevailing and spreading like cancer in the society.
When most of the ministers in the government, most of the MPs and most of the MLAs at state level are corrupt how can they inculcate good practices among IAS officers, judges, other functional heads and subordinate staffs? When person like Madhu Koda or Lalu Yadav or Mayawati become head of a state, corrupt officers will get powerful and cream posting whereas on the contrary good and honest officers working in the administration will be shunted away, deprived of promotion and placed at non-effective dormant posts. One can imagine the fate of the state in such position when the head is the most corrupt
I have experienced when the top in any office or in the government is weak and corrupt, the bottom-line is bound to be corrupt, inefficient and dishonest.
Old proverb “survival for the fittest” no more holds good. Now a day’s survival is possible only for the person who is well versed in flattery to bosses, who can earn money through ill methods and share the same with his bosses. As such it is not astonishing that corrupt persons are placed at top posts including at the post of justice and chief justice of a high court or Supreme Court.
The bitter truth is that there is no foolproof method of providing perfectly merit-based promotion or seniority based promotion in any office. None of the promotion processes can ensure justice to all, justice to the organization and discomfort to none as long as the person responsible for carrying out the promotion process is dishonest and corrupt. When protectors become destructors, damage to society cannot be stopped, the great writer Munsi Prem Chand wrote in his book.
I have been advocating abolishing Interview panel in all promotion processes in all departments and in all organizations because Interview is such a test where Interviewers can easily spoil the candidate’s career. During interview, key role is played by elements like bribe, gift, sources, godfathers, and flattery possessed by employee whose performance is assessed during interview. When Interviewer desires to promote an employee he raises easy questions and on the contrary he may raises toughest and irrelevant questions before the candidate to reject him in the promotion process. The interviewer as per his whims and fancies gives marks for interview and unfortunately there is no method to penalize such malicious interviewers or the interview team made of birds of the same feather. There is hardly any place for merit in the mind of Interview panel and this why whimsical promotions take place and a reign of injustice and that of corruption spreads like cancer and is followed by inefficiency, frustration, depression and what not.
Last but not the least; our courts cannot deliver justice in decades. This eliminates the fear from the minds of interviewer and the aggrieved employee is constrained to bear with the rejection in promotion process. Justice delayed is justice denied. And when there is no hope of justice even from court, aggrieved person in promotion process is left with no alternative other than digesting the poison of injustice. It is an open secret in our society that victim is afraid of lodging complain in police department against any type of criminal. Not to speak of promotions, management can torture an employee by using his power of transfer and posting an employee in the name of exigencies as per his sweet will.

As long as we are unable to provide a reasoning based transfer and merit based promotion and as long as the wrong doers are not punished by courts in the country in the quickest timeframe we cannot imagine of stopping corrupt practices prevailing and spreading like cancer in the society.
