Corruption is the root cause for the country’s many problems and there is a saying that both giving and taking bribes are culpable. When one comes to know that with the help of black money stashed in Swiss Banks, India could have been the richest nation in the world and there wouldn’t have been any poor person dying of hunger.
Many parties, especially Narendra Modi’s BJP promised to bring back black money and even transfer money into people’s accounts. But nothing of that happened and it is ironic to see Congress party which got punished for various scams demanding explanation from the government.
With expectations belied, people are wondering whether India can ever be free from corruption. People earlier thought they have an alternative in form of Aravind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party but the party instead of providing corrupt free rule in Delhi, is promoting anarchy which each of its ministers involved in fake degrees.
Almost all states in India, which are even ruled by regional parties face corruption charges. Karunanidhi DMK, Jayalalitha’s AIADMK in Tamil Nadu, Mamata Bannerjee’s TMC in Bengal, Mulayam and Akhilesh Yadav’s SP in UP, Nitesh and Laloo Prasad Yadav’s JD and RJD in Bihar etc are rampant in corruption.
In Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, KCR’s TRS and Chandrababu’s TDP too face severe corruption charges and not to be left behind is leader of the opposition Jagan Mohan Reddy of YSRCP and his dad, late YS.Rajasekhar Reddy. Under these circumstances, India can never be corrupt free, unless until social awareness about the ill effects of corruption becomes strong.
