Commitment To Integrity | | | Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s recent statement highlighting that there has not been a single charge of corruption against the Narendra Modi-led government in the past 10 years serves as a significant endorsement of the administration’s commitment to integrity and transparency in governance. As India marks a decade of PM Modi’s leadership, Shah’s remark underscores the perception that the Central Government has worked to maintain a clean and accountable image, free from the stain of large-scale corruption, which had marred previous regimes. PM Modi led government, since assuming power in 2014, has introduced key initiatives that are widely seen as part of its strategy to root out corrupt practices from the system. One of the hallmark measures has been the implementation of Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), which aims to eliminate intermediaries and leakages in welfare schemes by directly transferring subsidies and financial benefits into the bank accounts of beneficiaries. This mechanism has reportedly saved billions of rupees by curbing leakages in the system. Another notable move has been the aggressive push for digitization in governance. Programs like Digital India and the move towards digital payments through initiatives like UPI have not only revolutionized how people access services but also made transactions more transparent and accountable. By reducing human intervention in critical areas of governance, digitization has played a pivotal role in curbing petty corruption, which has long plagued the Indian bureaucracy. The introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is another step towards cleaning up the system. While its implementation faced challenges, GST aimed to reduce tax evasion and improve compliance. The transition to a single tax regime has brought informal businesses into the formal economy, ensuring that revenues which previously went unaccounted for are now part of the system, reducing opportunities for corrupt practices. Amit Shah’s assertion that the government led by PM Modi has remained untainted by corruption reflects a broad public perception that this administration has effectively handled one of India’s most pressing challenges. The Prime Minister’s personal image of simplicity and incorruptibility has resonated with a large section of the populace, cementing his appeal as a leader committed to clean governance. While the claim of a corruption-free decade is significant, it is imperative that vigilance remains high across all levels of government to ensure that India continues its march towards transparency, accountability, and good governance. Initiatives of the PM Modi led government’s have laid a strong foundation, but the broader war against corruption demands constant attention and institutional reform across the board. |
