The honest conduct in this "corrupted" scenario.. Swarnimsiddhi-49.

Corruption and scams are the most talked about terms, today..
Recently, the issue over Lok Pal bill, has created massive outburst among common man.. For the first time, the common man has steadfastly dived into the issue, to portray a pro-active role that would initiate a change in the atmosphere covering the C- WORD Corruption..
But,
The ultimate transformation will appear, at the time, when the Govt. and the ruler will seek the corruption-free state, straight from his heart. The dedicated efforts by the people and activists, will generate desired result, when the political party in power and the Govt. at the center, cosset full hearted support for the removal of frauds.
Gujarat Hon. C.M. has not only illustrated dynamism in laying Gujarat as the role model of development, but has presented scam free and low corruption rule in last ten years. The progress accompanies corruption as each one wants to be the winner in the race of being successful than his fellow brother and to keep a check on this tempting inclination, is a titanic task.
On the entrant Check-post, at Bhilad near Valsad, on the national highway no.8, an over loaded truck, coming from Kochi and heading towards Vapi, comes post mid-night, at 2.30 A.M. The driver Ravindran Varghees, is a pro, who had travelled umpteen times on this route and “managed” to get his own way by transferring two green “Gandhis”, in the palm of the officer on duty, generally a junior post midnight, while passing from Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu, Maharashtra and Goa.
But,
This was Gujarat and he was travelling there for the first time..
Of course he was very well warned by his collogues, that Gujarat is different but Ravindran was flying in air ..
Post 2 A.M. his heavily and over loaded truck, left the last check post of Maharashtra, at Achad. The high-mast lights of Bhilad R.T.O. check post could be seen from distance. His calculation was accurate. There was no senior officer on duty, at that unearthly hour. After paying RLW tax, he turned to go back to his Isher..
And,
He was stopped by two officers, on duty.
Ravindran tried to use his old charm.. Immediately, the two Green Gandhis popped out..
But,
The Green currency did not do the trick, instead it brought immune redness on the face of concerned officers.
And,
Opened the shut door of the adjoining cabin and the giant uniformed officer appeared and slashed one stiff slap across the Ravindran’s cheeks.. Before Ravindran could regain his composure, the strong words came ringing to him..
“Abe, Yeh Narendra Modi Saab ki R.T.O. Check post hai. Yanha rishwat denewale ke haath-per tod diye jaate hai. Yanha rishwat nahi, imandari chalti hai. Chal , tax aur jurmana milake 1.20 lakh bhar de aur South main bethe tere Aka ko bol, ke paise bhar kar gadi chuda de.”
Ravindran had no other go but to call and contact his bosses in South and pay off the entire tax along with fine!!!
The Bhilad check post, which has been completely computerized since 1st March 2000, has become the prominent check post of the country. It is one of the check post that has been the top most earning check post of the nation.
In the financial year, 2008-09, it has recorded income of 81 crore, 47 lakhs, 22 thousands and six twenty six rupees. On the same national highway, about 1 and a half km. away, the Achad check post of Maharashtra is situated. Bhilad check post has earned 52.64 crores of additional income as compared to Achad. It is notable that about 12,000 vehicles enter into Gujarat, from Maharashtra passing from both these check posts and about the same numbers of vehicles travel back. Still, the Bhilad check post’s income reaches the amount Rs. 81, 47, 22, 626 as compared to Achad check post’s income of Rs.28, 82,99,535. The income of Bhilad check post is Rs. 52, 64, 23, 091 more!!!
Its been a dream of Hon. C.M. Shri Narendra Modi to present Gujarat, as the “Corruption less” state, to the entire world.
And,
The realization of this dream is experienced on the border of the state itself.
Shri Modiji, wishes to increase the state capital through financial discipline rather than issuing more and more taxes. The Bhilad check post, has earned 5 millions, 50 crore, 44 lakhs, 70 thousand 367 Rs. in the time span from 2001-02 to till date. This amount is higher by 3 million, 83 crores, 15 lakhs, 65 thousands and 315 Rs. more than the earnings at Achad check post.
Gujarat serves as an exemplary example to the nation, when the society is blemished with dark stains of corruption. We breath scams and it could be really an irony if bribing is relished by the people, in near future. Then the society is sure to be doomed..
In this strained atmosphere suffocating us, Gujarat Govt. under the honest leadership of Shri Modiji, whiffs fresh air..
Vande Gujarat..
Vande Matram.
