Dynasty of corruption makes the country hollow:PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that administrative processes have to be transparent, responsible, accountable and answerable to the people for development. Inaugurating three-day long National Conference on Vigilance and Anti-Corruption on Tuesday, Modi said, over the years, India has moved ahead with zero tolerance approach on corruption.  He said, be it corruption, economic offences, drugs, money laundering or terrorism and terror Funding, these all are related to each other. 

He said, fighting corruption is not a job of single agency but is a collective responsibility. Modi said, there has to be synergy among all agencies as synergy and cooperative spirit is the need of the time. He said, in past decades, we have seen when a generation who have done corruption is not punished, other generations commit corruption with more power. Modi said, due to this, it became part of political tradition in many states. He said, this corruption and dynasty of corruption from generation to generation makes the country hollow.

The Prime Minister said, today it can be said with pride that the country has left that era of scams behind. He said, now the poor is directly getting its 100 per cent benefit through Direct Benefit Transfer, DBT. Mr Modi said, due to DBT alone more than 1 lakh 70 thousand crore rupees are being saved from going into wrong hands. He said, today, the trust of citizens in the government has increased. The Prime Minister said, many old laws have been abolished to reduce the undue pressure of the government and efforts are being made to make citizens' life easiar.
