Dangerous nexus among babus, Netas and the rich people

We have heard a lot about reformation, privatization, liberalization and globalization. We have also heard a lot about stable GDP growth in India despite economic slowdown elsewhere in the world. Our politicians speak without any hesitation that India is decoupled with global recession. But the fruits of reformation so much lauded by Netas are available only to handful of rich persons. Large section of population still starve and unable to earn livelihood even for survival.

Powerful Babus entrusted with duty to govern the country and administer in effective way are actually indulged in corrupt practices and it is they who bargain with local rich businessmen for their own vested interest and for the gain to be provided to kith and kin of responsible officers, politicians and babus (junior level workers) working in collusion with each other. They get direct or indirect support from local politicians and political workers or local power points. It is really very much dangerous for the country that officers sitting at top and responsible posts have been bought by rich traders or prominent manufacturers or local political heavy weights. Even armed forces in country have been inflicted with unscrupulous infiltrators or mischievous local anti national elements who extend favour to enemy countries in lieu of some monetary gain. It is pity that the victim at ground level can say nothing and is forced to digest the poison of injustice silently. There is practically none in this country to listen to genuine problems of poor and downtrodden.

Munsi Presmchand, the great Hindi writer wrote “jab rakchak he bhakchak ban jaye to binash nishchit hai”. It means when protectors become destructors , there is none on the earth who can save us.

Hitherto politicians were playing foul game while framing policy .Even during the regime of Late Indira Gandhi, it is well known to all that tax policies were decided keeping in view the benefits or losses of big business house like that of Dhir Bhai Ambani.And now also tax concessions are provided or taken back depending upon the favour a company extends to the ruling government, especially Congress government. I say Congress Party emphatically because only during Congress regime prices go up speedily and invariably. In the farthest past, prices were stable or under control under Janta party rule and also under the rule of NDA in the recent past.

If senior officers responsible for execution of government policies at ground level also start favouring rich business houses at village or town level at the cost of government exchequer and shamelessly adopt the same path as their fate maker politicians do at higher level, there is no reason to doubt the severest downfall in the economic health of the country. Natural repercussion of such nexus among Babus, Netas and the Rich is that there will be rise in crime, social disharmony and social violent turbulence. This is also because there is practically none to stop rise in graph of crime taking place. Even person sitting at powerful posts in police departments and Indians courts are more or less birds of the same feather as dirty politicians and as other corrupt civil servants are made of.

In a country where millions really starve and where a few lac of rich and affluent person live luxuriously, we cannot dream of success of any reformation policy and we cannot imagine of persistent and all pervasive development .There is no doubt that the gap between the rich and the poor will widen .It is undoubtedly correct to say that standard of living of common men is moving from bad to worst and that of rich is going up from best to the best of the best in the world. Resultant consequence of such misrule and mismanagement will be nothing but escalation in unhappiness, disturbance in low and order situation and finally erosion in social peace. Might is right will prove to be true as the time passes away. Ultimately people revolt like that of 1857 will change the structure of governance from capitalistic to socialistic.

PM wants to eliminate corrption

I refer the call given by Mr. Manmohan Singh to eliminate corruption from the country. It is easy to preach the sermon than to practise it. I request Honourable Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh to first clean his own Ministry . If all central ministers are clean and do not indulge in corrupt practices there is no doubt that administration below the Minister will improve.I am hundred percent sure that entire administration will not dare ask for bribe or commission in cash or kind when Central or state government Ministers stop accumulating wealth. When ministers do not pressurise for money in any deal to his secretaries ,none will have enough courage to forcefully opt for route of bribe .It is only when Ministers do not care for public problem or problem of businessmen that huge amount of cash is offered to Minister though his yesman to ensure execution of desired work. And when higher authority indulge in unhealthy practices , the same culture percolates down the level and grow more ad more it goes towards lower level Babus.Therefore if Manmohan really calls for an end to corruption I have one suggestion to offer that He should ensure hundred percent that None of Ministers in his Government ask for Bribe and assests of all ministers are checked secretly by various intelligence agencies. If it is found that the assets of any minister has grawn disproportionately to his actual income Mr. Manmohan Singh must have courage to penalise him ,remove him from his government and also recover the ill-legally acquired money from the concerned minister who indulged in corruption .As a consequance None of beaurocrates will ask for bribe for execution of any contract.None of bankers will ask for commission before sanction of loan.None of Income Tax Officers will accept bribe before assessment of any file.And so on.........Initiative to remove corruption from the system must start from the Top.I give an example of how seeds of corrption is sown. When a Minister desires to visit a town his secretaries will immediately inform his counterpart in that town to make the visit a grand success.Then team of officers approaches to contribute either in cash or kind to make the trip of Ministers a grand success .This goes on building pressure down the line and terrorise all big businessman of the town. It causes erosion of morality in top officers and businessman and junior officers are tempted to get their workdone through Minister. Even in Branch of a Bank when Regional head visits it needs huge expenses to please him.Wherefrom money will come to meet such unwarranted expenses. It will definitely push the Branch Manager to adopt wrong path. It is definitely shameful that a senior citizen has to offer bribe to het his hard earned pension from a bank. One thould ponder over the matter why and how after all such shameful atmosphere created? Who is responsible for such unhealthy practices. Last but not the least is the delayed justice from judiciary and lack of action from police department who are supposed to the protect the citizen who complains to them about unfair practices. Unfortunately the present ailing system awards only those who can afford bribe as per whims and fancies of the officers who occupies the chair of Justice and Protection.As such there is no fear in the mind of those who indulge in corrupt practices and perpetuate and promote the same .I therefore propose second line of action which is ensure reign of terror for those who are corrupt and at the same time reign of Love and Honour who are hoest and devoted to the Nation.
