Lavasa has also signed lease agreements and agreements to store water and build dams with the MKVDC (Maharashtra Krishna Valley Development Corporation).
Ajit Pawar (nephew of Sharad Pawar) was the chairman of MKVDC at the time of granting permissions and signing of agreements
after independance majority of the time, Cong ruled and it is the root cause for all issues we are facing today including corruption. as soona s MMS took power, corruption levels reached to all time high with magnitudes of 1.75 lakh crore scam. We have to agree that NDA govt was far less corrupted compared to UPA govts. MMS gave a free hand to Sonia and co to loot the country... As citizens, we need to change too. We need to stop bribing traffic police, get the driving license without bribing.. Then things will change slowly. Mass awareness shd be created against corruption and this can be changed by none other than new generation.. youth..
Make the law strict according to the position of the person; For e.g. if a rickshawala is caught bribing give him a day prison but if the policeman caught then give him a year prison; Similarly if corruption is proved at the level of ministers then hang them; and even if there are charges against any minister then all his properties which he acquired in 10 years should be reduced to half;

The non corrupt attitude needs to be started at the individual level . Each and every desi needs to decide that they will not pay any bribe to any body for getting their work done quickly or otherwise.
Corruption is now in our blood. Those honest people of pre-independence era live no longer inour time. A system is created where 99.9% of Indians want to take the short-cut- be it in exam or 2G scam. This however, can be improved if not reversed. The solution will be in the hands of Junta. Let Junta decide what qualifications a would-be political leader needs to have to run for election. This is vital and it should be done without prejuidice. Let politics be the part of profession and career choice at the early stage of education. In current ministry MMS,PM,PC, and few others are educated. If we have more such people, scams could be zeroed.

In the past, Indians were spiritual in nature. Spirtuality was replaced by movies, politics, and TV serials. Good or Bad, the concept of life after death had its own postive impact on people's approach to doing negative things. At least people did not try to do immoral things except a handful of people. Once the morality is gone...what happens is what we have now. People think that they can do whatever they want, since it is one life, and get away with it. Every action has a consequence. that could be this life or later.

I may not fully agree with you. All people involved at high level corruption are educated. In India the it is pity that education does not necessarily bring in character change.

You are 100% wrong. Academic qualifications make money machine. They get jobs with fat salary but education does not build character. I can show you thousands of examples where highly educated people are corrupt. To become a civil servant you will have to be highly educated. How come they are corrupts? Parents of many of us were not academically very qualified. Do you think that all of them were corrupt?
Corruption can work as a catalyst in growing economies, since sometime things need to be done faster and the only way can be to tweak the things little here and there. But at the same time, corruption as regular business need to discourage with the stern laws and qick punishments.
It might happen that in the process few innocent may also get caught, but then the options are either you keep the hand tight or you leave it too loose to let people slip through. Few sacrifices are accepted if that can make life for rest better.
Corruption,scams,grabbing...etc.etc are going to be never ending stories of India. We are known for that. And we can't deny it. And we can't put an end to it. Because we are ruled by people who sit in Delhi and the naked truth is that Delhi has no identity. When the father does it son follows it and hence statewide corruption. Just to put it bluntly Indians should do some self analysis and then perhaps the solution might be let every state take responsibility of its own people by being separate from the rule of Delhi. That way patriotism could take its root in Indians. Otherwise one day the neighbour of India would just bring an end to this confusion of 'who is who' in India through nuclear energy. The day would not be too far when majority of Indians would wish for it.
Every word in this page is obvious, the problem is not that people dont understand it, on the other hand they clearly understand it. It did not affect me directly, is the mantra that is going around. As long as this mantra is active, long live the corrupted politicians.
