On what basis does Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar claim that corruption has come down by 50 per cent? Despite fear of a backlash by this government the complaints at the Vigilance department are mounting. Those having the Chief Minister’s blessings are managing to get the complaints against them shelved in cold storage.
Manohar Parrikar’s appeal that people should co-operate to ensure a corrupt free state is deceptive. I have personally drawn his attention to a couple of cases but the Chief Minister conveniently chose to look the other way. Despite an F.I.R of corruption being registered against the then Director of Prosecution Mrs. Shobha Dhumaskar, the Chief Minister high handedly gave her two extensions in service. Was that Zero tolerance to corruption. The Chief Minister should stop making any further promises and just start delivering on the pending pile up.
The Chief Minister does not want a sturdy Lokayukta because the corrupt deeds and blatant acts of maladministration by this government will stand further exposed. The earlier Congress government was very corrupt so is this one. Only the agents, brokers and beneficiaries have changed. You know it all, Mr. Chief Minister.
