Prevention of Corruption

The new Government has declared Zero Tolerance of Corruption as its policy and decided not to appoint relatives as PS but has failed to inspire anyone because in order to encourage bureaucracy it has given booster dose to one and all including the corrupt ones and failed to initiate any drive to clean the system. If it has not been able to protect its own Minister (V.K. Singh) from a false affidavit, how can it protect a common man! On ground zero nothing has changed.
Let us take the example of the Ministry of Coal which was synonymous to scam department. Although, the present set-up was found scuttling the probe by hiding the files, not a single officer has been transferred. Nexus between the businessman and the officers continue as usual. Misuse of CIL resources including the vehicles remains rampant.
Do we need any other sign to conclude that the new Government is just engaged in window dressing and nothing else? I am afraid, Modi Jee is going to be defeated by his own team which has no drive of its own. He is the lone crusader in BJP. One has to look once again to Kejriwal only for the prevention of corruption.

Bharati Jee
Lack in new thoughts

The new Government appears to be lacking in new thoughts on the revival of Economy. Price rise need not be only way of funding Budget. Improving efficiency of expenditure and removing wasteful programmes from the Budget should be the top of the agenda. In fact each Ministry should have a mechanism to ensure the spending efficiency. Price rise will only make Rich India and poor Indians. Install a robust , reliable, fast Accounts information system to substantiate any theory profounded by Minister to support price hike.

"Modi's Zero Tolerance to Corruption"

Misuse of Indian PSUs' by ministers, their personal staff and top bureaucrats is common by way of manpower, mobiles, guest houses, TV sets and other freebies . Supplying chauffeur-driven vehicles on regular basis for private errands, organizing private lunches and dinners is rampant. All this to keep the political class and top bureaucrats in cheerful and agreeable mood. Independence of ministries is thus compromised. The top mandarins controlling Maha-Ratna and Nav-Ratna PSUs top the list of offenders in flagrant violation of Conduct Rules.

A K Saxena (A retd civil servant)

Highest functionary will be accountable.

At last there is a clear message going that instead of lowest functionary highest functionary will be held accountable.

Mridul Jain

BJP harassing people

Harassing people in the name of bitter pills can not be accepted; People now repent for having voted to BJP. Let the Ministers donate their salary and perks.

Don't politicize hike in rail fare

It is the Railway Minister in UPA Govt. responsible for accumulated losses and pathetic condition of Railways. It needs to be repaired, maintained and improved which needs finances. The hike in rail fare should not be politicised. Bure din dekhne ke baad hi achhe din aate hai.
