Corruption in Politics

                                                     Corruption And Politics

Situation 1 :    I want to start a plastic product factory,  I  invested my money to rent a space and machinery,  I  employed some worker and  at end of month I earned some profit  from selling these plastic products. I used that profit to pay salaries of my employees, buy raw materials and pay the rents, rest of profit I kept with myself. This is how my factory run.

Situation 2 :    I want to start political party.  I  invested  money  to rent a office space, furnitures, banners and appointed few party workers and employees. I spend some money on campaigning , But trouble starts now like factory here there  are only sources on expences but no source of income and without income how will  I able to run my political party!  So what will be the source of income for my political party? Scratch your head little bit...........let me make it easy  source of income is ‘donation’.  But who will give me donation and why? Scratch your head again............If I get elected tomorrow I will hold power to benefit any individual or company.

So in situation 1  if I want to earn more I will increase production of my product, but  in situation 2,  I will.................................

If you analyze these two situation you will able to find out why almost all politician are corrupt and not serious about anti corruption laws like jan-lokpal bill.  Being elected member of parliment they consider themself suprem person of this country and does not want any other body to rule on them or investigate them  or some times they gives reason that this is not 100% effective measure.

 Current criminal law is not 100% effective, even today there are rapes, murders and robberies. So do you want to remove them as well,  no law is 100% effective. we dont want 100% or 90% result but will be happy even if we able to reduce corruption by 60-70% .

Our country can afford to conduct parallel election for appointment of investigation officers ( lokayukt or janlokpal members)  than loosing billions in corruption.....

 Political parties are more vulnerable for corrupt practices because

1] It runs on donation, donation is such kind of income which can be easily fogged.

2] Hold power to give benefits to donating parties and most of donation are done in expectation of favour in future..

3] There is tough competition  between political parties.

4] Absence of any supervision on their financial transaction.

5] Politicians indirectly hold power to influence investiagion of  corruption charges on them due to absence of independent investigation agency.

Even many NGOs and welfare trusts also run on donation but they are not vulnerable for corruption as they don’t have any power to give advantages to donor party and there is no competition among NGOs.

In current Indian political scenario we have lot many laws for these political parties to follow but we dont have any measure to ensure these laws are being followed by them. Amount of money spend on election much higher than than what is shown on paper. They are hardly being prosecuted for corruption and prosecution can be easily influenced by politicians as all current investigation agencies are controlled by ruling parties.

So what can you expect when rapist prosecute another rapist , burglar investigating thefts.........corrupt acting against corruption? Current behaviour of these political leader is no wonder exclusion to this law.

Don’t  you ever wonder how can the property of politicians increases multifold during their short term power?

MEASURE TO PREVENT CORRUPTION IN POLITICS.

1] Political leader should declare their all sources of income and total asset every year from time of appointment till lifetime.

2] Yearly declaration of assets of  family members of elected member till 10 years post complition of term.

3] Manditory use of plastic money (debit/credit cards) by elected political leader and his family member for all kind of transactions above Rs 1000 for lifetime.

4] If any  disprapotionate increase in asset is found do through investigation by independent agency having power to procecute and execute  culprits.

5] Yearly declaration of total assets, donations with doner party and expences of political party.

6] Yearly auditing of income and expences of these politicians by independent agency stictly during election periods.

7] Strict watch on donation given to  political parties, keep tap on  benifits given to such doner parties during their term.

8] Appointment of Financial Reresentative of Election Commission (FREC) in each constituency. FREC will act as temporary bank saving account of all political parties during election. All political partis should hand over their all money to FREC (with details of doners) atleast  6 month before election and all expences should be made though this account. Hence it will be esier for EC to keep trac on financial turnover of all political parties. Any party found guilty of spending from outside should be strictly deal with.

Kehate hai kutteki dum tedi ki tedi hi rehati hai so now it is a time to put it in a tube for all time , because now we are getting suffocated with smoke of your corruption...........
