Corrupt Government

It is reported that 300000 crores of rupees Indian black money is parked in foreign banks by big shots, tax evaders, officers and politicians. Government does not want to take action against them because the black money is earned and remitted to foreign banks only by indirect support of ministers ,officers, politicians and domestic banks. More than 300000 crores of black money is circulating in domestic economy.

More than 300000 crores of rupees as tax defaults is not recoverable from High net worth businessmen and professionals because it is these tax defaulters who provide monetary support to politicians in winning the general election. These tax defaulters give huge money in the shape of bribe to top ranked officers, public representative and powerful ministers and get rid of all actions. Government does not want to recover overdue tax from such defaulters.

More than 300000 crores of rupees are locked in various public sector banks as bad assets (80000 crores of rupees as declared Non Performing Assets (NPA) and rest hidden as restructured and stressed assets). Government does not want to recover Tax from big value defaulters because such defaulters are closely associated with CMD, ED, General Managers of bank or various powerful people from political field or related to government officials directly or indirectly. Government does not want to recover money from small value defaulters because these defaulters known as villagers, farmers, or small traders are the vote banks of ruling party and hence government think it wise to waive small ticket loans ( during last election government waived 75000 crores of rupees).

More than 300000 crore valued fake notes and fake stamps are in circulation and government is unable to stop addition of fake notes and fake stamps in the economy.

More than 300000 cases are pending in various high courts of the country and more than thirty lac cases are pending in district level courts and government is unable to take any action against erring judges or corrupt advocates and government officers. Most of the cases are directly or indirectly associated with VIP of the society. Or else courts are unable to deliver judgment in want of adequate manpower and suitable infrastructure. More than 300000 cases have been referred to CBI by various state or central governments for investigation and necessary action. These cases are finally closed when the case is related to VIP and case is not pursued properly when CBI officials get bribe money to dilute the intensity of the complaints.

“Barbad Gulistan karne ko Ek hi Ulloo kaphi tha, Har Dal par Ulloo baithe hai Anjame Gulistan Kya Hoga”

Government gives license to high net worth tobacco manufacturers and wine manufacturers. Government allows manufacturing of Pan masalas, cigarettes and wine with an instruction to print a warning on each pack such as “ chewing of tobacco is harmful for health “, “Use of wine is dangerous for life”. But government fines and threatens to impose heavy penalty on small shop keepers, pan vendors who sell pan masalas. Government does not want to punish who manufacturers of such harmful product because politicians and officers receive heavy illegal money and costly gifts from them. Government gives hundreds of licenses in a small town and allows open sell of wine but punish who consume it. This is India.

Use of plastic bags, utensils and other products are found to be harmful by government and hence government impose penalty on shop keepers who sell goods in plastic bags and individuals who carry goods in plastic bags. But government does not want to punish manufacturers of various plastic products because officers and ministers receive huge money from manufacturers of these products.

Government officers huge money as bribe in allowing encroachment to businessmen, shop keepers, real estate developers, home owners, flat builders, park owners etc . It is officers of municipalities and municipal corporations who approves map for construction and who allows deviation in construction after taking huge money as bribe. When court gives orders for removal of encroachment small shop keepers, road vendors, vegetable sellers are beaten and their shops are broken but rich persons are spared because they can give bribe to officers once again to get rid of destruction of illegal construction.

This is India, the great India, shining India. This is Manmohan Singh brand reformation. This is the story of economic liberalization, globalization and privatization. This is the result of Gross Domestic Product said to be in two figures and for which Government led by Manmohan Singh feel proud of .This is India which is ranked 87 in the world and treated as one of the most corrupt countries in the world. India is still great because politicians of India know how to befool innocent and illiterate voters of the country on the basis of caste or community or regionalism and religion or by way of reservation. This is India where flatterers and corrupt rich persons are given ticket by political parties to fight general election and poor but talented persons are rejected. This is India where criminal can become MP or MLA but not intellectuals. This is India where corrupt officers are appointed as Vigilance officer and made Chief vigilance officer of the country to stop corruption. This is India where tax officials guide how to evade tax and police officials guide thieves how to get rid of punishment. And so on………. …………………………..But everybody talks of reformation.

It is worthwhile to mention here that almost all top ranked officers have properties worth tens of crores of rupees in various names and at various places though their total income earned during the period of their entire life is not even one crore of rupees. When most of officers and most of the politicians are corrupt there is very little hope that action, real action will ever be taken against corrupt person. Government is made of corrupt people only and then it is foolish to expect any justice from such government. Officers and politicians in general are birds of same feather.

Rape OF Human Resources IN Government Offices


How many years of service is enough for bank management to assess and judge the potential, character, knowledge, capability, capacity, attitude, managerial skill, innovative skills, creative ideas, ,initiative, willingness, honesty and integrity etc of an officer for giving promotion to him from one grade to another grade, or from one scale to other?

10 years, 20 years, 30 years or more?

Educational qualification of a staff, record of performance during preceding years and his capacity to satisfy customers is already tested by management during his posting at various branches and offices. What else is then required to be tested by Interview panel to judge whether one staff is suitable for promotion or not?

Quality of an officer is already tested by bank management in span of more than 10 years and even thirty years of service and hence it is foolish to expect from members of Interview panel that during one to three minute interaction with the candidate in Interview process they will be able to extract something additional from the candidate.

Obviously Interview process is used to reject good officers and select officers who may be bad performer but who are the choice of members of Interview panel constituted for promotion process. Officers who are flatterer and who earn bribe and honestly share with their bosses or who is choice of some VIPs can be selected in preference to really good performers only by using weapons of rejection handed over to members of Interview panel.

If 10 to 30 years of service is not adequate to estimate the suitability of an officer for promotion to higher scale I think officers who judge and who are supposed to decide the suitability of an officer for promotion to higher grade or higher scale are incompetent and of doubtful integrity. Obviously such officers should be shown the exit door first.

On the contrary if an officer is not fit for promotion to higher scale even after 10 to 30 years of his service, such incompetent officers should be removed from service or given CRS.Only stopping of annual increment is not enough to penalize such non performers.

It is worthwhile to mention here that officers who work sincerely but not found fit for promotion either by corrupt member of Interview panel in interview process or due to biased rating in Annual appraisal reports are given assignment of higher responsibility by bank management. Such senior officers perform the best but they are not given even annual increment. They are kept in stagnation for three years irrespective of their performance. Juniors who do not perform are getting increment every year without any hindrances whereas seniors who perform better are denied even annual increment. It is justified or not only God knows.

But if an officer has to pass through ordeal of interview for getting promotion to higher grade scale does not seem justified from any angle of consideration. Interview and appraisal system in banking industry prevalent for promotion is totally unjustified, illogical and ill motivated. Such unwarranted processes give enough scope for injustice. Such Interviews are nothing but paves the way for arbitrary promotion to person who are not good for the health of the bank.

This is worthwhile to state that officers who are selected for promotion are invariably found to be guilty of causing loss to bank in subsequent years. It astonishes that officers of negligent and fraudulent character, officers who are charged with various lapses and against whom disciplinary action has been initiated, are selected in faulty promotion processes prevalent in banking industry and conducted by greedy and corrupt senior officers. This is why bad officers are posted as Branch head who do not know how to deal with customers and how to protect the interest of the bank. As a result NPA is increasing year after year in Public sector banks and the government is silent spectator of mischievous acts of top ranked officers.

CBI is more often than not asked to investigate into fraud or any matter related to loss of money to bank or any other office, but I am of strong opinion that CBI investigation should be conducted into all recruitment and promotion processes which are taking place and which took place during last 10 to 30 years. This can only reveal the ongoing corrupt and unhealthy practices in the system which leads in unhealthy practices and rise in corruption. Permanent Solution to this cancerous disease of bribe or flattery oriented recruitment, posting, promotion in government offices can only pave the way for real reformation in banking industry in particular and government department in general.

Revolt against reign of Injustice is inevitable

People sitting at top posts are supposed to be more responsible, sensible, active, effective, honest and serious to their job. because it is politicians and top ranked officers who act as bacon light for others, it is politicians and ministers whose mischievous actions are followed by subordinates, juniors and youngers.

If Netas are corrupt, dishonest and non performer, Indians babus , administrators or officers cannot imagine of doing good performance without flattery to corrupt politicians and without following corrupt practices. If politicians, ministers, judges and public representatives are busy in earning bribe and commission and when they help businessmen to earn wealth through illegal ways and means common men cannot dream of happiness, prosperity and peaceful life.When industrialists are given full freedom to earn more and more profit , Indian rulers cannot provide any relief to common men suffering from pain of price rise.




If prime Minister, Home minister, Finance minister and even President of India prefer sitting on public complaints or simply forward the letters of grievance received from public to concerned department without ensuring its logical conclusion, people of India cannot get relief from any other departments said to have been established to look into cases of corruption or injustice or torture meted out to common men. When office decency and decorum is broken by top ranked officers, juniors cannot be expected to follow the rules of decency. When ministers are not disciplined and when MLA and MP are exhibiting indecent behaviour in Parliament and state assemblies, the working class in government department cannot be loyal to common men.


When a corrupt person is appointed as Chief Vigilance Commissioner of India , it is foolish to imagine that such corrupt CVC will select good officers for the post of vigilance officers for other PSUs.When vigilance officers are themselves corrupt they cannot stop corruption in any office they are posted as vigilance officer.


When Chief Justice is corrupt, the appointment and promotions of other judges will naturally be based on bribe and flattery and when judges in general are corrupt the victim or the aggrieved person cannot imagine of quick justice from any court in the country.


When CMD or ED or GM of a bank or PSU is corrupt, good and performing bank officers cannot survive with dignity if he does not follow the path shown by such corrupt top bosses.


When transfer, posting and promotion of government servants depends on bribe and flattery, India cannot imagine of a good working culture and India will continue to rank higher and higher in the list of most corrupt countries.


Politicians and especially ruling politicians are as good as parent for ruled class and when parent are incompetent, corrupt, drunkard,dishonest,liar, cheater, fraud master, scam leaders and so on ---- children cannot be good mind.


In such position some of grown up children think it wise to revolt against their parent when they understand the values of life.This is why people in our country are now raising voice of revolt against perpetrators of injustice.

What the hell is going on

Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh is habituated to commit mistake and then accept responsibility if he is exposed by Supreme Court or rebuked by opposition parties. In all cases of scam exposed in last two three years it is only Supreme Court that has forced the government as also CBI to initiate investigation against corrupt officials and ministers. Otherwise advocates of Congress Party like Kapil Sibal, Manu Singhwi, Digvijay Singh left no stone unturned to close the chapter of 2G, CWG, and Adarsh Society like scam etc. Even in case of appointment of CVC or in case of black money government tried its best to shut the mouth of crying media and that of leaders of opposition parties but the court did not find any merit in lame excuses submitted by the ruling party leaders.

Flatterers of Sonia or PM even tried to reignite communal issues and trap BJP and NDA so that people stop raising voice against corruption or price rise or against the killings of Maoists. Leaders of Congress Party are busy in discovering a few cases of corruption against BJP ruled states but they are not getting success in their mischievous goal. They always try to point out their accusing finger towards BJP leaders to conceal all their blunders coming to light but they fail to do so because BJP and NDA rules states have been developing by leaps and bounds. But they cannot befool intelligent Indians for long.

The remarks "what the hell is going on in the country" given by the Supreme Court in case related to black money parked in foreign banks is very much disheartening not only for the government but also for entire country. But it is painful that the leaders of Congress Party are shamelessly accepting the adverse remarks without realizing the moral responsibility and quitting the government. Even now government can demonstrate through quick and effective action against hundreds and thousands of corrupt officials sitting at op posts in various departments.

People of India who understand the dirty politics of Congress Party and danger of rampant corruption in the country are very much in anger and very much eager to throw out the government of UPA as soon as possible if given the opportunity. At least Indians living in USA have taken the lead to start movement like Dandi March which was undertaken by Late Gandhi ji against British rule.

If our Prime Minister possesses any amount of self pride in him, at least now, PM Mr. Manmohan Singh should offer to quit the post after facing so much humiliation of the government in the court and in the Parliament.

Time has come when all non-Congress party leaders should forget their ideological differences should come together to oust Congress Party from power before it is too late and before the nation faces situation like Egypt or Libya or failed state like Pakistan
