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
