Amit Shah is the biggest corrupt ghost: S.R. Hiremath
Bengaluru, Dec 9: Social activist S.R. Hiremath said that in the political history of the country, Amit Shah was the biggest ghost of corruption.
Speaking at an elocution and discussion programme on ‘International Anti-Corruption Day’, organized by the Corruption Free Karnataka Nirmana Vedike at the Legislators House here on Sunday, he said that “majority of the political leaders including former chief ministers Yeddyurappa and Siddaramaiah, present chief minister HD Kumaraswamy, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and others are corrupt. So, we should not oppose politics. Instead, we should question the corrupt practices of the politicians”, he said.
“Man is a most greedy animal as he is incomplete. It is not possible to do everything good. So, in order to remove corruption, the fight should start from our homes. We should inculcate meaningful habits and we should be complete men before the corrupt persons. Those who exploit the people are more prejudiced and hate people because they have lost humanity. We should try to establish humanity in the society with constructive and strategic efforts. We should have the confidence of winning the war. It was said that we would not get even 5 per cent success in Ballary. But we continued our fight and got the result more than our expectation”, he said.
After independence, misuse of power and nepotism have paved away for widespread corruption in the society. Unfortunately, the present youth have not understood the intention of the Constitution and democracy. They should understand that they were the real owners of the Constitution and democracy and politicians were just the servants of the people, he said.
The elected representatives and those who are at the helm of affairs were not speaking about public problems. The Prime Minister has not uttered a single word about the Rafale deal which is the biggest scandal in the history of Defence Ministry of the country, and atrocity on dalits in Gujarat but he was busy on speaking in the election rallies, he said.
Vedike president Ravi Krishna Reddy said that the corruption was rooted right from higher education to higher positions. CID sources have been saying that for AC post, the candidates have to give Rs 1 crore and Rs 80 lakh for tahsildar’s post, which shows the real situation of the country. Those who have dream of getting good education and good job to serve the society were disappointed. So, people should elect non-corrupt candidates and those would appoint non-corrupt officers to right positions. This would certainly reform the society, he said.
Social activist HM Venkatesh, Kaleel, Vijay Raghava Marathi and others were present. The winners in the elocution contest were given prizes on the occasion.
