When Anna Hazare movement got cold response in mumbai in December , many people including sections of media seemed happy. Many disagreed with Anna movement since its inception , while many disagreed with Anna team’s decision to campaign against congress. Many considered anna as fascist and his comments on canning people who refuse to leave alcohol didnt go well for many across board. Many also considered anna hazare as threat to democracy.

Personally I dont believe in canning those who consume alcohol. I do believe in parliament democracy and want parliament to get strengthened instead of weaken but on anna’s fight against corruption , I am with him . Why?

Well our great political system has given the following since 1947 :

1. Jeep Purchase 1948
2. BHU Funds 1956
3. Mundhra Scandal 1957
4. Teja Loans 1960
5. Kuo Oil Deal 1976
6. HDW Commissions 1987
7. Bofors Pay-off 1987
8. ST Kitts Forgery 1989
9. Airbus Scandal 1990
10. Securities Scam 1992
11. Indian Bank Rip-off 1992
12. Sugar Import 1994
13. JMM Bribe Scam
14. Fodder Scam 1996
15. CRB Scams 1997
16. Stock market Scam 2001
17. Stamp Paper Scam 2003
18. Scorpene Submarine Scam 2005
19. Ali Khan Tax Default 2008
20. The Satyam Scam 2008
21. 2G Spectrum Scam 2008
22. Rice Exports Scam 2009
23. Orissa Mine Scam 2009
24. Common Wealth Gams Scam 2010
25. coffin scam -1999
26. Cash for vote scam (dr singh govt)
27. Karnataka Minning scam (yeddy was sacked)
    
28. Adarsh scam

Now above are just few in the list. Needless to say most of scams happened in congress led government while BJP too has its share of scams.

Now looking at above list tall claims by Rahul Gandhi falls flat because no matter how much Rahul claims about putting ministers in jail , above is what we have got in long rule of congress in last 64 years.

Does that make BJP holy cow?. Well far from that. Only difference both party seems to have is opportunity. Since congress got most opportunity to rule , they have most number of scams during their regime!!!!!!!!!

So what we have and does change of government make difference?. Answer is unfortunately no because what we have is culture of corruption.

Do we need strong lok pal bill?. Obviously yes but at same time we need holistic approach where we ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY AGAINST CORRUPTION.

Along with lok pal bill we need electoral reform . When we have corrupted people entering parliament and assemblies accepting administrative system working honestly is like expecting Rakhi sawant go without controversy for rest of her life.

We need right to reject . I understand it would be practically difficult task to accomplish but we need review system for MPs and MLAs under which we can review performance of our politicians.

Citizen charter is must and it would really do wonders for curbing corruption.

But along with above things we need to have culture of no corruption and onus lies on aam aadmis as well as on government. For every bribe taker , there is bribe giver. So onus lies on us too.

CORRUPTION Is cancer and unless it is eradicated we cant have strong nation . Scams in India must become history , if we want our country to realize its true potential.
