Corruption per square-foot, per pound, per file and per head, is the swan song, a song which millions of underprivileged and disadvantaged Indians cannot sing.

The political leadership and the top judiciary are seen to have failed the people in spite of the checks and balances a democracy is supposed to provide. The Lokepal Bill, introduced in the Parliament, needs to be strengthened. The credibility has eroded, leading to the demand that all the MPs, including the PM, and the judiciary be made accountable."
