It appears scam is everywhere. We come to know of those scams only that are prominently highlighted by media. There is crisis of character.
We have to strike at the root. Apparently, the parliamentary system is costly. The politicians need heavy cash for contesting elections. Hence they indulge in corruption and compel or connive with bureaucrats. Making elections less costly or state funding are the means to reduce the cost of elections and hence need for raising cash via corrupt practices.
scam involving state-owned institutions and a private and listed Mumbai-headquartered company Money Matters Financial r also big fish in the race of scam
As Sumit rightly says that all these state-owned institutions are great sources of corruption and I don't know what would be the fate of these so-called raids!!
Sensex slumped below the crucial 19,000-level in intra-day trading as the housing loan scam continued to hammer realty stocks, closing with a loss of about 182 points.... :(
