Quotes

Uttar Pradesh’s lokayukta has rendered signal service by boldly exposing the siphoning off of ` "1,400 crores from funds to build parks and memorials in the state. It is also a shocking pointer to how far public morality has fallen in the nation’s most politically competitive state that has given us so many PMs. Two Mayawati ministers were charged with large-scale corruption, and the lokayukta has determined this money should be recovered from properties owned by them. However difficult this might prove to implement, the lokayukta’s boldness in pursuing this to a logical conclusion and fixing the culpability of politicians simply demonstrates how vigilant the land has to be save its resources from its own leaders."

Lokayukta shows way [Published Asian Age - 9 mins ago]

The UP Lokayukta’s revelation that high-ranking ministers and bureaucrats siphoned off ` "1,400 crores of taxpayers’ money during the construction of memorials when the BSP was in power is not surprising. After all, what can one expect from a party cadre whose leader indulges in vanity by plundering taxpayers’ money? Surely the money to build larger-than-life statues of her mentor Kanshi Ram and herself didn’t come from party funds. Ms Mayawati should pay a price for self-indulgence."

The Delhi police, meanwhile, claimed Sreesanth bought designer clothes worth ` "1.95 lakhs and gifted a Blackberry Z-10 priced at `42,000 to his girlfriend with the “spot-fixing money”. The police raided Sreesanth’s girlfriend’s residence at Jaipur on Monday and recovered the smartphone. Sreesanth, who was taken to Jaipur, led the police to her house. Sources said the cricketer apparently admitted he had “purchased” the phone with the spot-fixing money and “gifted” it to his girlfriend. The police claimed the girl was “innocent” and had “no clue”."
