Go vigorous, CM tells ACB

The biggest hurdle before the State's progress is not the lack of  funds or the application of  advanced technology, but our own people who are thriving in corruption and bribery.

If a leader can take tough action against the graft in public life, almost all the ills plaguing our country will disappear soon. To this effect, Chief Minister K Rosaiah gave a clarion call to the  Anti-Corruption Bureau to intensify their raids and to work vigorously towards that goal.

The common man should be empowered to question the Government officials for inefficiency, dishonesty  or for any corrupt  methods. Only then  the  Government  will have  some   respectability in the public, the CM  felt.

 When proper grievance disposal mechanism works, the Government’s welfare schemes will  function  properly enabling the  state  to reach new  heights. The cases should be  disposed off  as early  as possible..

The cases  filed against   high officials  are  being unnecessarily  dragged  giving  room for doubt  the, the CM observed.Admitting the fact that the  ACB  is  understaffed the  CM  said   the  department needs o to be strengthened  by  drafting another 400 personnel  at the district  level, the  CM noted.

Annually  about  30 cases are  being  booked by  the ACB of  which 70 to 80  are Disproportionate Assets cases.
