Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

TRUE OR FALSE ?

5 Sep 2011

TRUE  OR  FALSE  ?

An Indian Minister [ or a MP / MLA / Corporator etc. ], is less likely to be corrupt, if he / she ,

·         is already rich [ before or after becoming Minister ? ]

·         is 70+ years old [ cannot take riches to heaven ? what a pity ! ]

·         is a bachelor [ who will spend all that money ? ]

·         is paid salary of private sector MD [as it is, plenty of disposable income ? ]

·         has no relatives [ why oblige total strangers ? ]

·         is popular amongst voters, eg: yesteryear actor [ don’t need money to buy votes ? ]

·         leads a simple life [ and doesn’t care to donate ? ]

·         is son / daughter of an industrialist [ who cares for next election ? ]

·         is son / daughter of Minister / MP [ already in possession of a “ rich “ heritage ? ]

·         does not care for power [ lack of motivation ? ]

Media [ Newspapers / TV Channels ] should conduct a poll.

Then Election Commission should draw-up fresh “ Eligibility Criteria “ for 2014 elections, based on voters perception of who will make a “ Non-Corruptible “ representative

Right-to-Recall bill may prove to be a cure – but what we need is a “ Prevention “ !

With regards
