Petty Thieves or Party Thieves ?



Arvind Kejriwal's helpline produced 23,000 complaints against corrupt officials , within first 2 days


And managed to arrest 2 constables trying to accept Rs 3,000 by way of bribe


Some 60 + sting operations are under way


Similar help lines are being installed in Goa , MP , Rajasthan and Chhatisgarh


(  BJP walking in the footsteps of  AAP  ?  )


Can such efforts to curb corruption,  produce results  ?


Yes , if what China's Central and Provincial governments managed to achieve in just 11 months ( Jan - Nov 2013 ) , is any clue


Here are some statistics released by Supreme People's Procutorate :


>  No of " corrupt " govt officials investigated .............. 36,907


>  Total number of cases  
.........................................  27,236


>  Major / Important cases  ......................................   21,848


>  Cases involving " Losses "  .....................................  16,510


>  Amount of Losses  ............................................  Rs  566 crores


   (  - peanuts compared to our scams totaling Rs 5 LAKH CRORES  ! )


Communist Party's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection reports :


>  Investigation and Punishment of party Officials  ......... 182,000


>  High level officials facing legal prosecution  .............     8


   ( - including Zhou Yong Kang - a former member of Politburo Standing
     Committee - equal to an Indian Cabinet Minister )



If our Democratic System is superior to China's Dictatorial System , we ought to do better  !


In China , a Politburo Member cannot be " Voted Out " by people


But , in India , we can  !


I hope the 543 sitting MPs and 5,000+ sitting MLAs of India realize that they will get voted out in April 2014 , if they fail to act against the corrupt - and do it fast


People calling Narendra Modi , a " Dictator " have no clue how angry Indian voters are  !


For them , a dictator who rids them of corruption is a better choice than the so-called democrats who couldn't care for 4,383 children ( under age of 5 ) dying EVERYDAY , due to starvation !


Voters  know that Rs 5 LAKH CRORES could have saved these children  !


They don't care for Freedom of Speech that cannot bring Freedom from Hunger  !
