Gutkha fraud,idol theft- Where is TamilNadu going?
Opposition political parties make lot of noise asking that the guilty people should be dismissed. But, people remember that leaders of such opposition parties have not been any better when they were holding posts in central and state governments.
People are watching the scenario with helpless ness as corruption and nepotism have become high in several spheres like government departments, schools and colleges, hospitals etc.
In Tamil Nadu today there are many bribe takers who are also bribe givers and probably this explains why the corruption scandals are not causing huge uproar amongst people.
The real sufferers are those in the lower and lower middle income group who are self employed or retired persons.
We are now clearly seeing overall downward trend in the state. Even in the TV media and newspapers only those with partisan opinions or politicians are mostly given space. Impartial and concerned people do not have any effective forum to convey their views strongly.
Even when we write in forums such as local circle, no one in the government or in the media seem to take note of this. Ultimately, the views of the common man have become cry in the wilderness.
