Highlighted Comments

95 .5 % of state govt officials are corrupt. Simply arresting one official can not stop corruption.

Arrested, what a joke. Let me tell what's next: she will give 50% of her black income to politicians, police and judiciary.

Until unless Govt take action against top officials and even judges, corruption cannot be eradicated.

The salary is so low that they have to take the corruption side to make their life easier.
