Politics as money making machine for corrupt businessmen

I recently heard that a businessman has spent approx. Rs 100 Cr for becoming Member of Parliament in Rajya Sabha. Is he doing so much of sacrifice for welfare of society? The answer is off-course NO. He is doing this as business of making Rs 1000 Crore from mere investment of Rs 100 crore in next 3-4 years.

I am not against businessmen coming into politics but I am against them if they are coming in politics through bribing politicians.

How this businessman who spends Rs 100 Crore will make so much of money i.e how such high return is possible?

Let me tell you how he will do this miracle:

1. Becoming MP will give him opportunity to enter the politics through back door. All parties needs huge sum of money to fight election and doing marketing. This MP coming from business background will become star fund raiser from those businessmen who want favour from government ( favour means land allocation at through away prices, withdrawal of tax evasion charges, withdrawal of  income tax notices etc).
2. This MP will become liasoning agent between greedy businessmen and corrupt politicians. He will put pressure on PSUs for risky loans for his near & dear.
3. He will pass on vital future policy information to big corporates and in return he will get suitcase full of money.
4. He will influence appointment of top brass i.e Managing Director of PSUs, Vice Chancellor in Universities, Secretary in ministries etc.
5. He will get some success in appointing corrupt Babus in creamy postings. These Babus will twist and tweak system to return favour.
6. He will facilitate tender allocation with fix cut to him.
7. He will send clear signal to police and authorities to stay away from him so that he can continue his illegal activity of tax evasion, grain hoarding, illegal construction etc.
8. Lot many foreign companies wants to enter into Indian market but restriction in FDI makes it difficult for them. These companies target such businessmen turned Politician for intense lobbying. In return of lobbying politicians gets huge money.
9. Our country is growing very fast and urbanization is further increasing thus real estate sector grows rapidly. In cities the connectivity (Road/Metro/Flyover/Bridge) plays very important role in increase land prices of specific areas. These people know master plan of city much in advance, they purchase properties in those areas and after connectivity they sell those properties at multiple rates.

As common citizen of India, you might think that how all these things affect you. My simple answer to you is that corruption done by anybody is attempted to stop facilities reaching to you. Government is supposed to provide infrastructure, electricity, education, jobs, security, justice and healthcare etc. Are you getting them in letter & spirit? If No then who is eating away your share?

His every penny earned by corrupt ways will push our country backward.

“Know to say NO to corrupt system”

Awareness is biggest tool to fight corruption.

Jai Hind.
