CAN ANNA HAZARE ROOT OUT CORRUPTION?
Anna Hazare’s crusade against corruption is only an attempt to break the tip of the iceberg. If that tip is broken, another perceptible part will reappear while the greater part will be hidden. Can he demolish the hidden bulk?
Political parties are the biggest corruption centres. It is said that almost three decades ago in one day 100 crores of corrupt money go to the gajana of the ruling and opposition parties used to be in 60:40 ratio. The ruling party will ensure that the opposition’s share of the booty regularly goes to them. This regular unwritten income comes to the political parties from business houses including liquor barons. Political parties neither declare their assets and source of income nor pay tax.
Politics has become the most popular commercial venture to preach corruption and to produce en masse corrupt politicians. We have to demolish the system of democracy enabling political parties either independently or with coalition to form governments and plunder country’s wealth. There are other systems of democratic governance. Can Anna Hazare and the enthusiasts wage a war against these political parties? Can he fight for the disbanding of all political parties and seize their properties?
