The recent revelation of mass corruption by Minister's of the UPA Government headed by Manmohan Singh is a glaring example of theft by the elected representative, causing huge loss to the exchequer and gaining from commission and compliments in various forms in equally differnt ways.
The Raja episode caused by P.R Queen Ms.Radia has brought to the fore, the link up the fourth Estate has with the Government and the Industrialist which question the fundamental of free and fair reporting. If one has to pay for publicity that too from leading journalist like Bharka Dutt and Mr.Sangvi then it is time for Indians to have a Introspection on the role of press in Free India.
The cabinet posts that our Minister holds are on recomendation by the press, again the very formation of UPA is through the persuasion of Press calls in for a national debate, We have also heard pay for article
during the election, the glaring example by Mr.Chauvan the then cheif minister of Maharashtra who got the maximum publicity for a undisclosed price.
We are talking about corruption only amongst politicians , as we have a lien over them as we elect them, but what about people like Bharka and Sangavis who will take on them, as they have formed the alliance themselves. In nutshell the who democratic traditions that we have inherited from our the Generation that vouched for probity is being anhilated by the current diaspora.
Having said this, we still have people like A.K Anthony the only face in congress which doesnt have a mask as of now, imagine people like V.K.Krishna Menon who used to request his friends to help him to put the security deposit for contesting election, where are they gone, do we see such Netas todays? The Answer is No..., similarly from the Fourth Estate we had doyens who took on the establishment like R.K.Karangia of the blitz, N.Ram of Hindu(still there) and the likes, is the present generation lost its morale selling themselves for few chips.
The only solace that the common man has is the courts, while there are black sheeps amongst them but overall the judiciary has managed to retain its status.for the time being. The ruler like Mr.Ramakrishna Hedge
who used to throw his resignations even if someone to point a finger at him and vouched for Probity in public life is gone for good so are the people like him who will never return.
There is no meaning in cribbing about what we had in the past, let the younger generration who wanted a career in Public life come to the forefront and form the next Government and see to it that corrupt leaders are routed out and thereby signalling a NEW ERA IN POLITICS.
