Let’s remind what Mahatma had said :
… Any system of government can fail if people do not show scrupulous
honesty and a feeling of brotherhood. There may be work, there may be men to do
the work and also the tools with which to do it: yet in my view, any system
which admits poverty and unemployment is not fit to survive even for a day…
(Hindu. 31/12/1947)
…It
is the duty of all leading men, whatever their persuasion or party, to
safeguard the dignity of India. That dignity can’t be saved if misgovernment
and corruption flourish. Misgovernment and corruption always go together.….
(Hindu.
16/12/1947).
“..It (corruption) has now become worse than before. Restraint
from it has practically gone. Corruption will go when the large number of
persons given unworthily to it realize that the nation does not exist for them
to exploit but that they exist to serve the nation. This requires morals, and
extreme vigilance on the part of those who are free of the taint. Indifference
will be criminal…”
(Hindu, 27 January 1948)
