The unfortunate death of contractor Santosh Patil in Karnataka focuses once again on the alleged rampant corruption in the state.
The death is just a tip of the iceberg and almost all departments in Karnataka are highly corrupt. Before taking the extreme step, he had met almost every top BJP leader with a complaint against Karnataka Minister Eshwarappa.
And his pleas to them went unanswerable. It's impossible to do contract works in the state. According to a contractor in Bengaluru, it is impossible to bid, win and execute any work without bribing. Be it any parties, nobody is saint.
But demanding the bribe is unprecedented. No one hopes or believes that corruption will end after his death. Nobody can end corruption because it's deep rooted and benefits everybody.
It is a fact that the political power is always liable to corruption. Corruption is an universal evil. The gangrene of corruption is unfortunately eating into the moral fabric of the nation.
The need-based and greed-based corruption has become order of the day.
