That indeed was a brilliant step by the state government to weed out all the corrupt officials. But the biggest loophole is that the these officials are usually not taken to task or prosecuted as our judicial system is "SO EFFICIENT". I hope they act faster and remove these corrupted lagoons & punish them severely.

Creating a department to curb correction is an oxymoronic in democratic countries like India. Though it is agreed that corruption which exists in bureaucratic set up is an universal phenomenon, has assumed its role as a part of India's culture. The babus (bureaucrats), leaders and politicians have been accepting bribes in various forms. Corruption has been rampant even in pre independent India. Krishna Menon the foreign secretary of newly independent India declared "Decisons are made with out my intervention". In today's India stories and rumours of corruption are evident in every facets of civilian life right from getting a job, to getting a bearth in a train to playing for a regional cricket team to studying in a well known institution.

It is blunderous to assume that the county is a corrupt nation. There are and have been examples of honesty and selfless sacrifices, like the police men who gave up their lives in Mumbai attacks. The irony is that, to every such story there exists one contemporary one in which a govt officer is brutally murdered for denying large sums of money as a gift to a CM's birth day party.

The oxymoronic nature of Lokayukta can be compared to a needle in a haysack or 'a small ray of light in the dawn making way for a bright day'.

You be the judge.
