Does, really, India need Lokpal ?

In these days , The Political and Civil society is undergoing in a very hot and revolutionary debate regarding corruption . Anna and his associates have made the compulsion upon Govt. of India to frame a Bill as Lokpal to tackle the problem of Corruption . Due to public pressure Govt. of India has taken some step & Framed a Bill which got passed in Lok Sabha but hanged in Rajya Sabha .

Now , Here , Question arise that India really needs a Lokpal or Not ? Think , India has so many Regulatory Bodies in different field of governance . But still dragon of Corruption is running in parallel to governance . Why ?

Even Constitutional Bodies like Supreme Court , Different High Courts have , also , allegations . Advocate Shashi Bhusan has said about Corruption in Supreme Court . A Supreme Court Judge have said that there was something rotten in Allahabad High Court . Other examples are Dinakaran , Ramaswamy , Sabbarwal etc .We have seen case regarding District Courts for example Noida in case of Land Scam etc .


Our many Representative have got punishment in different cases as Murder , Rape other type of Scams . Raja , Kalmani , Sukhram like other MPs & MLA have already punished . Many are under Trail . Our Representative are corrupt because of People of India . In 21st century , Our India is living under the banner of  Caste ism  & Racism like evils .


Our Executive is corrupt because of mainly Politicians & lake of public awareness . There are different cases when  Bureaucrats are jailed for corruption with our politicians .  Bureaucrats have got power to make scam only due to our Corrupt Politicians , lake of public awareness and corrupt top governance .


Our Governance System have too many regulatory bodies in Different fields . For example CBI ,CVC ,  NIA , SEBI , TRAI , NHRC , NCW etc . These are Constitutional & Statuary like bodies . But , Think , Are these working fairly ?


Why are these bodies not effective and efficient ? If so many Constitutional Bodies are not able to tackle the corruption then How can You imagine that Lokpal will become effective ?


Team Anna want to make a political game ? Team Anna want to enter in Jurisdiction of Parliament . What type of Constitutional Right have Anna Team to frame a Law . They can suggest to Govt. but not Frame a Law . Anna is running a Parallel Govt. which is the violation of Constitution . People of India have sent their Representative  to frame Law . If Anna is so concern about all that then he should join politics . But he is not doing so . Why ?


Anna just want to became Second Gandhi of India by using the weapon of Fasting . He want to do every thing without any Accountability , Answerability and Transparency . Some days before there was case filed in Bombay High Court regarding regulation of Fund donated by People to Anna’s Association . If Anna & his Team is so Neat & Clean , then why  , these type of cases are coming before court .


The creation of Lokpal is not going to reduce corruption at any point . Because Corruption will  find an other way ? If Anna is really want to tackle the Corruption then he must leave the Weapon of Fast & Start to Make Awareness among People of India , Regarding RTE Act RTI Act etc , with his associates .

Corruption is a real Problem which has in root of System and in Mind of People . Govt. should not go for too many Regulatory Bodies rather Govt. of India must overhaul the System . Too Many Regolatory Bodies will create only Complexity . Governance Must be Easy and Convenient rather Complex . Govt. of India should go for some Modification according to Need of Good Governance as like .


(1)    CVC & CBI like bodies must be made like ECI & CAG

(2)    Enlargement of ECI Jurisdiction & Power

(3)    Electoral Reform

(4)    Awareness about RTI among people

(5)    Citizen Charter

(6)    Judicial Reform

(7)    More attention over ethical & moral education

(8)   Establishment of Selection Commission of India , like ECI , to select the top Authorities of Different wings of Administration , Supreme Court & High Court Judges , ECI , CVC , CBI , CAG ect.

(9)  Selection Commission in States to appoint top authorities of States and Transfer and Promotion of State Administrative Officers etc .


In crowd of so many regulatory bodies , Lokpal is not going make any type of reform in system  . If Govt . of India will make above reform then surely corruption will get reduced . I do not think that Lokpal is going to make any difference . In reality , There is no need of any new regulatory body but reform in existing bodies.
