It is very interesting to note as to how BJP has started following the foot steps of AAP for handling corruption/bribery cases in MP by designating a special telephone number for the victims to contact the authorities. Also, a similar instance happened in Mumbai. A local Congress official requested his higher authorities to curtail the electric and water charges for the residents right after AAP made such an announcement in Delhi. Though these steps are in the right direction to eliminate corruption from the society irrespective of which party initiated this action, but one wonders the intent and timing of such announcements. If BJP and Congress are so interested in the removal of this societal evil, they could have done it decades ago when they were in power many a times. Therefore, this writer has some apprehensions about their serious intent. One can easily conclude that this is just an eye wash to throw some fodder for their voting constituency for the impending national elections. As far as corruption, bribery and hoarding of black money are concerned, the leaders in both parties, rather I would say in most of the political parties in India, have skeletons in their closets. However, this is an opportune time to either join hands with the party which is bent on eliminating corruption from the society or change your existing party manifesto reflecting anti-corruption and anti-black money to have a solo power at the center. Mind you, this intent and manifesto have to be very clear, sincere and without any nepotism failing which there is no chance to survive now. The Indian people have awaken and now know that there is someone to show them the guiding light to move forward with a clean societal slate. The test now is to check who has the will power and good intention to make India a great nation free of this societal evil. IT WILL BE A SHOT IN THE ARM IF ALL POLITICAL PARTIES - AT LEAST THE MAJOR ONES - TO JOIN HANDS WITH A PLEDGE TO THINK ABOUT THE COUNTRY FIRST.
