ToIndia Against corruptionAam aadmi party's helpline to help whom ?
Aam aadmi party's move to open anti corruption helpline and its claim that 4000 calls in 7 hours have been received , may not help in curbing corruption effectively but will certainly help aam aadmi party in getting media glare, which it seems to want desperately.
This AAP's helpline is nothing new , as vigilance departments are functioning in all government departments and public sector undertakings already and they are meant to receive complaints of corruption, investigate them and take action if the complaints are justified. People are entitled to send complaints to the vigilance department already and several NGOs already publicise the corruption dealings in newspapers and journals and in social media. What is it that AAP's helpline will achieve more than these existing arrangement ?
AAP receiving 4000 calls in seven hours is not a big achievement but solving the corruption issues received through these calls will be an achievement. These 4000 calls may become 40000 calls in one week and 4 lakh calls in one month. Is AAP government capable of handling these calls and catching the corrupt people in reasonable time ? The fact is that there are already many corruption allegations with the vigilance departments remaining unsolved. Why not AAP government look into these first ?
When complaints are received in AAP's helpline, it has to investigate only through the existing vigilance departments. What is needed is to strengthen these vigilance departments and make them more active and honest which can be done by efficient and honest ministers over a period of time.
By making tall claims about AAP's helpline, the inexperienced leaders of AAP are giving an impression as if they are going to solve the corruption issue over night. This would not only be a misleading claim but would cause huge disappointment amongst people who take AAP's claim at face value.
