Respected Sir,
Your party had declared in the manifesto, before you came to power, that you will take concrete steps to wipe our corruption with certain time. The people of Karnataka handed over power to you with a great majority. The same people have placed repeated trust in your ruling by supporting you in other elections too. Despite this, corruption is abundantly, clearly visible to the public eye. Especially this is evident in the Police Departments. Their misuse of power and department's resources to extract money from public is shamelessly evident!
Your government had talked about, or at least dreamed, making Karnataka one of the best State in the Country, comparable to Gujarat's Sri Narendra Modi's government, as well as Singapore! A normal citizen carries the dream of a State that will become a model for rest of our country, and so they trusted the power in you. Your government has demonstrated few laudable work, but what is more important for common man is corruption that is deep rooted in our State that has NOT been handled efficiently so far by your governance.
After 4 years of you being in power, there has been no change in the departments. Bribe and Extortions are happening comfortably without fear by your own administrators. We are most certain that you are aware of this. You have just forgotten about your vow in Manifesto!!
A common scene on the streets of Bangalore is, the police patrol vehicles, shamelessly going on beat to extort daily 'maamools' from poor street vendors, ranging anything from Rs 10 to 100 per vendor. We ourselves are mute spectators to this horrible crime by the very crime preventing department! Again these are very well known to your offices since it is not new, it has been in our system since ages. Only that your government has ignored it entirely for reasons unknown. Without higher authorities in the government allowing such acts, we do not believe that the last person in each of these departments can boldly extort public. They have no remorse or fear. It is also a fact that you are aware of, that the department demand monthly 'maamool's from corporates on various pretexts.
IF ALL THESE EXTORTED, BRIBED MONEY ARE SUCKED INTO THE DEPARTMENT, EVENTUALLY WE THE PUBLIC WILL INFER THAT THE MONEY REACHES YOUR TABLE TOO. UNLESS YOU CLAIM INNOCENTLY THAT YOU ARE UNAWARE OF EXTORTION!!
If you really understand our concerns and the democratic power of people to demand a clean government, here are somethings you can act upon immediately :
1. You must transform the corrupted Police Department (one of the corrupt deparments) into one that India feels proud of. There must be such a transformation that our State will boast of having a corruption free, friendly to public, protective police force.
2. Any common man, with no fear or hesitation should be able to walk in to Police department, or seek help from them without being harrassed, or even support the department when it is required.
3. There should be a transformation in the personality, discipline, uniform, physical attributes, Intelligence of the policemen. The presence of a policeman should automatically demand respect from public.
4. The houses provided for lower levels of policemen are in pathetic conditions. They deserve good salary, raise and decent home to live with their families. Visibly this scene has not changed in many years. If policemen rather stops demanding bribes the revenue could still be legal from the fees and charges levied on erring public that can be well utilised by the department itself.
5. How difficult is it to bring about a rule that sanctions street vending as one of the privilege to the small time businessmen? How difficult is it to provide them authorized space and license to run their business? How difficult is it for you to plan such a move in consultation with traffic, crime, PWD and other concerned departments?
We trust in you, again, that you will implement actions that will stop the above said notorious acts by your departments, and also take up additional legal actions possible at the earliest.
Please stop concentrating on handling your internal party issues and start working for the citizens who are looking upto you for that change you mentioned you will bring to our State, in your manifesto.
Thank you,
Suchin
