CORRUPTION ERADICATION.

Eradicate Corruption.

                                                                                                                                                                     The Misuse of Power Office, Resources vested in the authority to administer it                                                              

for personal or party gain is seen growing.  In 1961, LB Shastri as Home Minister appointed

Satnam Committee to frame anti-corruption measures to nab corruption at the                               hands of public-servants and misuse of funds by semi-autonomous bodies.                                       GL Nanda in 1962 as the next Home Minister laid special stress on anti-corruption measures.                                                                                                                                                                                    But after 1966 Indira Gandhi came to power all was forgotten.                                                      Corporate bribery, trading influence, nepotism electoral frauds, embezzlement                              cases were a day to day affair.  Kickbacks from International contracts like                                    Bofors scandal brought notoriety to Rajiv Gandhi Government that he lost and                               had to sit in opposition party in the Parliament.  Then came the alliance led Governments.                                      

The PMO no longer could control the alliance led ministers, they gained control of their ministry and used the government for its own benefit rather than for the benefit of the country. 

In consequence, corruption and nepotism took hold at all levels of administration.                              In addition, with the challenge of the notables gone, their class itself broke into countless factions and groups, each working for its own advantage by supporting the candidacy of a particular group forming close alliance with corresponding counterparts. After Rajiv, therefore, accession and appointments to positions came less as the result of ability than as a consequence of the political maneuverings of the congress led political parties. Those in power found it more convenient to control the people by keeping them uneducated and inexperienced, and the old tradition by which young ones were educated in the field was replaced by a system in which all of them were isolated through hatred and prejudice of a selected caste and creed,  limited to such education as its permanent inhabitants could provide. In consequence, few of the after Rajiv Gandhi  had the ability to exercise real power, even when circumstances might have given them the opportunity. But the lack of ability did not affect the dissident’s desire for power; lacking the means developed by their predecessors to achieve this end, they developed new ones.

After Rajiv’s death, Sonia and others gained power by playing off the different factions and by weakening the office of PMO, the main administrative vehicle for factional and party influence in the country. As the PMs lost their dominant position following the downfall of

VP Singh ministry, power fell first into the hands of  Sonia and her team, and then into the grasp of the Third Front. No matter who controlled the apparatus of government during this time, however, the results were the same--a growing paralysis of administration throughout the empire, increasing anarchy and misrule, and the fracture of society into discrete and increasingly hostile communities followed by the era of alliance-led Governments especially Pawar’s NCP Party and      both the major political parties of Tamilnadu.
