Expose the business/partnerships of bureaucrats/politicians

Tue, 21 Aug 2007 11:09:20 +0000

Bureaucrats & politicians join hands to avoid development projects/ industries (which are against their personal interests) coming up in India by exaggerating silly issues. On the other hand, they might be involved in businesses (which might be in the same industry) which could even be against the interests of the country.

Lots were heard about politicians & bureaucrats having businesses in the Middle East (mainly in UAE). Some control the businesses directly whereas, some of them have their close relatives control the business. Expose all those businesses in the countries where you reside.

Corruption has to be eliminated from the root

A two-tier representation can reduce election expenses and corruption

Election expenditure is the root cause for corruption in India. A candidate has to spend lakhs of rupees to get elected and even if he gets elected, the total salary he gets during his tenure as an MP/MLA will be meagre compared to his election expenses. How can he bridge the gap between the income and expenses? - publicly through donations and secretly through corruption. Donations by Corporates and liquor barons to parties / candidates are often to get policies favourable for their business.

How to improve the system

Fri, 17 Aug 2007 12:21:44 +0000

my suggestions to improve the system are
1)make all government procurements or government sponsored agencies procurements online. there should not be contact between beneficiery and the service provider.
2)There should be very good salary for politicians (Like singapore). Only educated and qualified and age restricted people should enter politics.
3)Government servents/Politicians/Police personnel/judges should declare their assets and liabilites. The details should reach common man
4)Government should start official website to counter corruption and they should invite response from every citizen about its services.Government should provide platform to rated their servants and politicians and its services

rules are made to help politicians and goverment servents

I am watching the corruption system in Indian and there is no way you can go against it . I am narrating the methods adopted in the system. these are all few samples ……
1) Most of the central government funds kept for development purpose is funded to state government sponsored societies to avoid C&AG audit. After money is routed to societies no one knows the status of funds. World Bank funds and Central government funds are misused in many ways.
2) Tenders are rarly called by government sponsored societies for its societies. Most of the times societies are headed by commissioners at stated level and they park the money as deposits in the banks for commission or they spend money without following any rules.
3)Assets maintained by each societies neither have any accountability nor no one takes care of assets

system it self is corrupt

I would like to narrate a incident happened with one of my friend. My friend was running business in bangalore. Past 4 months there is a tight finance situation in the market and banks refuced to provide loans expand the business. To meet the commitment he has been forced to take finance from private financiers. In karnataka few private financiers charge daily 10% to 15% Interest. My friend took daily 1% interest from one of the financier. The financier name is Gopi and he is actively doing this finance business from years. They take signature on vehicle transfer forms and take blank signature on stamp papers. If there is slight delay in payment they harass the borrower verbally and physically. They harass physically, borrower sevents and their wife,children and friends to recover their money. Most of the private financiers are all followers of political leaders and they pay regular ransom to their political leaders. In basvanagudi R.V. Devraj (former congress MLA) is one of the noted goon in such category and he has trained lot of goons to control his area.It is not resstricted to R.V devraj alone there are other gangs operating in the similar line. Muttappa Rai, jedarahalli Krishna and most of the criminals circulate their money to business people and control the business circle. Finance is one way of controling the public. Police will be regularly feeded by this political leaders and any one who questions the system will be murdered in open public. My friend had very tough situation to come out from the visious circle.

GSM modems connected PC

GSM modems will enable PC to handle calls and SMSs sent to a mobile number. We can use this to record messages. The instructions on how to send the message and what numbers to send it to can be given near each public office.

Petty businessmen pay lot of bribe

Sun, 27 May 2007 15:12:39 +0000

Most of the petty businessmen have to give bribes. If the names of the persons who demand bribe
are put in the hall of shame, We can somehow give publicity to their names being shown in the hall of
shame. I want others suggestions in this regard.
