Culture of corruption

It is now clear that Justice Santosh Hegde, the Lok Ayuktha of Karnataka has held Yeddyurappa and some of his cabinet colleagues guilty of corrupt practices. It is also fairly obvious that the BJP or the state government will not act on these findings. Being corrupt is condemnable; sticking onto power even after corruption is proved is nefarious and subversive of all principles of good governance. BJP and Congress are the pot and the kettle each calling the other black. Both are heinously craven political parties. Both have wreaked havoc on Indian politics. Corruption is so rife that honesty and integrity are deemed to be obsolete qualities.

The Supreme Court under the leadership of Justice Kapadia has tried its best to redeem the nation from the all pervasive evil of corruption. But the task is not easy. When corruption has become the only way of life, who can save the nation?
