| Corruption crosses all limits in J&K, none to take cognizance: Harsh Dev | | “BJP-officers nexus brazenly looting tax payer’s money” | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 20: Alleging the prevalence of a deep rooted culture of patronized corruption in J&K Harsh Dev Singh chairman-JKNPP said that all previous records on the subject stood beaten by an unholy nexus between the corrupt politicians and officers working in tandem to loot the resources of the erstwhile state.
“While all the tall slogans of BJP regime of providing ‘corruption free system’, ‘Accountability and transparency’ had proved a hoax, the erstwhile state of J&K seemed to be in the grip of a powerful and corrupt mafia with anti corruption and other vigilante bodies having become redundant or become defunct.
The meaning and relevance of corruption too had underwent a complete change under the BJP regime.
The dishonest, irregular and immoral acts of BJP leaders, besides their fraudulent bargains and scams seemed to have been excluded from the preview of corruption with the anti graft laws becoming applicable only to the ‘inconvenients’. The most glaring example is the abandonment of the issue of Roshni scam by BJP after one of its own MLAs was reported by the media to be involved in the nasty scheme. He was addressing a press conference in Jammu today.
Pointing towards the illegal usurping of govt premises including ministerial bungalows by the BJP leaders, Singh said that such unauthorized occupation of public premises provided the most glaring example of political corruption. And the nexus between the corrupt officers and politicians was evident from the fact that no action had been taken to evict them despite categoric orders of the High Court. Not only that the said leaders were availing all facilities in the illegally occupied houses at govt expense without paying any rent and still the govt was harping on the slogans of ‘good governance’ and corruption free dispensation.
Not only the Estates Bungalows but the security vehicles and PSOs were also being allotted purely on political considerations, said Mr. Singh.
He pointed out that all the Ex-MLAs and Ex-Ministers of BJP and even petty workers were provided fleets of security vehicles and a huge paraphernalia of security personnel who were paid out of tax payer’s money.
Revealing further, Singh said that several BJP Ministers were accused of promoting transfer industry in the State, allotment of works without tenders and illegal appointments made in govt. departments on monetary and extraneous considerations. Moreover, several Ministers and MLAs had encroached huge State lands and Forest lands whose adverse reports had been submitted even by the investigating agencies against them.
Urging the Lt. Governor to constitute a Commission of Inquiry to probe into the involvement of Ex-MLAs and Ex-Ministers of erstwhile unethical alliance in corrupt deeds, large scale bunglings and other acts of omission and commission, Harsh Dev Singh said that until noose was tightened around corrupt politician-officer mafia, good and clean governance would remain a distant dream. |
