India's war on corruption has taken a decisive turn with people coming out against their own elected Government. Though the UPA is confident in winning the 1st battle of Lokpal due to its majority in the parliament it is likely to lose the war as the masses look determined to root out corruption.

10. Rahul –Digvijay duo Stake holder 1 The UPA Govt. We are the best !

11. Stake holder 1 The UPA Govt. This UPA duo believes they are wise and dynamic, like Sarkozy or Putin !

12. Stake holder 1 The UPA Govt. Opposition ruled states like U.P. and Jharkhand is their Libya or Chechnya.

18. Stake holder 1 The UPA Govt. The Antony-Mani Shankar duo ! It is time for change Nobody can stop it !

19. Stake holder 2 : The Opposition They need change …. not us !

20. Stake holder 2 : The Opposition The NDA have no alternative model of transparent shadow Govt. Though they have relatively clean and transparent state Governments in both Gujarat and Bihar.

21. Stake holder 2 : The Opposition Lack of change commitment ! Delayed and dithered in ushering transparent change in Karnataka for clean Govt.

22. Stake holder 3 : The Opposition The Communist Parties We are different ! We have our politburo! And our ideology!

23. Stake holder 3 : The Opposition The Karat Doctrine ! Even after the electoral drubbing we are sure we don’t need change !! …. After all we remain losers with both UPA or BJP in power, so why bother !

26. Stake holder 3 : The Judiciary We will uphold the constitution and probity in public life ! ..…even if we are accused of judicial activism !

27. Stake holder 3 : The Judiciary Justice is for the greater good of people even if it touches adhocism Raises concern amongst people ! Is both political & judicial power corrupting ?

28. Stake holder 4 : The Administrative Machinery . Bureaucrats, Police, CBI, ED, IT, ST, Excise, rural and urban administrative services

29. Stake holder 4 : The Administrative Machinery Bureaucracy says “We are the king makers !” Whosoever governs the nation the power to suck the spoils lies with us

30. Stake holder 4 : The Administrative Machinery We source the rivulets of corruption funds due to the license permit raj. When this forms the rivers the politicians dam and divert the same for their use.

31. Stake holder 4 : Administrative Machinery Transparency curtails bureaucracy Curtails power ! Reduces corruption ! Improves efficiency ! Causes workforce rationalization !

32. Stake holder 4 : Administrative Machinery So we Government employees always love status quo Because our power grows as politicians fight the people. They will use us to control and suppress social unrest and bypass checks and balances.

33. Stake holder 4 : The Administrative Machinery But there are exceptions to the rule More and more whistle blowers are emerging from the administrative machinery every day !

34. Stake holder 5 : The Civil Society And The Media Media and Civil Society are the drivers of change !

35. Stake holder 5 : Civil Society and the Media Few are impatient and want utopia ! Baba Ramdev, Swami Agnivesh, Greenpeace and few others would spoil for a fight against the system!

36. Stake holder 5 : The Civil Society And The Media Other’s like Anna Hazare are relentless negotiators They will take the battle out of New Delhi where the police can beat them into submission, to the remote towns and villages of the nation.

37. Stake holder 5 : The Civil Society And The Media For it is the rural masses who are hit by corruption most So they will be first told of how and why they are missing out !

38. Stake holder 5 : The Civil Society And The Media Traditional media and internet have been at forefront of the transparency movement The Newspapers, the radio and the TV channels and internet have taken the transparency movement out of closets and fired the minds and the hearts of the people !

39. Stake holder 5 : The Civil Society And The Media 2G CWG Adarsh Housing Aviation Licensing …..the list of scams is endless The Media has piled up the pressure on the Govt. and opened up the can of worms ….

40. Stake holder 6 : Industry and Business Is business as usual the cause of corruption !

41. Stake holder 6 : Industry and Business Industry and business are usually perceived as bribe givers But most hate giving bribes. They are the reluctant accomplice of the license permit regime

42. Stake holder 6 : Industry and Business Many accept it as a cost Some encourage & abet corruption to ensure business as usual !

43. Stake holder 6 : Industry and Business But there is a huge segment of corrupt land based business, who have thrived on shady deal making They are the reason, why land in India is so expensive, though being largely undeveloped.

44. Stake holder 6 : Industry and Business Politicians draw sustenance from most real estate related biz. Urbanization projects, mining, oil and gas exploration are hotspots of corruption.

45. Stake holder 6 : Industry and Business Business as usual benefits executives more than investors . So it is a Hobson’s choice. Investors want clean governance and a transparent environment

46. Stake holder 6 : Industry and Business The success of Hong Kong & Gujarat in wooing global investors show that investment flocks to areas where corruption is under control !

47. Stake holder 7 : The People We vote only once in 5 years But now we will monitor you 24x7 !

48. Stake holder 7 : The People Fortunately the biggest supporter of transparency and change is the youth ! Mainly because they loose opportunities to grow in its absence.

49. Stake holder 7 : The People The youth are not ready to give up the war against corruption For transparency has fired up the imagination and winds of change has fanned the fire to a flashpoint.

50. Stake holder 7 : The People The people are distressed, angry but they don’t know what to do. Most people are having the sinking feeling, that the India Government and Reserve Bank are losing control on the economy because they just can’t plug the leaks.

51. Stake holder 7 : The People Though interest rates have been revised several times to curb inflation but to no avail The people are feeling the brunt of price rise because of the effect of rampant corruption

52. Stake holder 7 : The People Plugging the leaks is the key to containing inflation and price rise That can’t be done without weeding out corruption from the delivery cycle of public funds.

53. Stake holder 7 : The People So inflation will stay high as long as corruption is around . Despite the Reserve Bank Initiatives !

54. Stake holder 7 : The People People will be distressed . As the economy bleeds due to corruption the prices will remain high

55. Stake holder 7 : The People Cash subsidy, or any food security will fail to deliver . . Because of corrupt delivery system

56. The 1st Battle of Lokpal . So the people’s war on corruption had to begin. Lokpal is just the 1st battle

57. The 1st Battle of Lokpal ….And people will fight their own war on corruption ! Even if it is against their own elected Government

58. The 1st battle of Lokpal For the people discontent needed to be addressed . For that a comprehensive and focused anti corruption Lokpal bill was one of the measures needed

59. The 1st battle of Lokpal But the Bill tabled by the UPA Govt is an itsy bitsy bill, that barely covers ! .

60. The 1st Battle of Lokpal So the war on corruption will move out from the streets of Delhi to the by lanes of India’s towns and villages. . The battle that started with the Lokpal Bill will now be expanded into an all out war on corruption.

61. The 1st Battle of Lokpal The Lokpal is the ombudsman of the people to oversee the administrative process . It must oversee all those involved in the decision making without exclusions .

62. The 1st Battle of Lokpal It must track the route map of public fund flow and protect it from corruption. . Every one from the Prime Minister to the village Patwari in the administrative chain of decision making must be within the ambit of the Lokpal

63. The 1st Battle of Lokpal People won’t give up on the Lokpal easily, because they now know its use. . If the current Government fails to make the Lokpal Bill comprehensive, the next will.

64. The 1st battle of Lokpal So despite its parliamentary majority, the UPA will ultimately lose the Lokpal war. . And people will remember that they fought years against a corrupt UPA regime for their future and freedom .

65. The 1st battle of Lokpal It will be yet another blot on democracy, where people are at war against an elected Government that turned despot. . Like the emergency, the 1st battle of Lokpal will be a turning point of our history !
