Rajasthan Govt. brings strong legislation to check corruption | The Rajasthan Government has brought a strong legislation in the state assembly, which would help in fighting against
corruption. The Chief Minister and all officials from the judiciary have been brought under this legislation, which would be sent to President Pratibha Devisingh
Patil within a week for approval. The fourth grade employees have also been brought
under the purview of this legislation, which after coming into effect would facilitate
the Government to confiscate and attach any disproportionate property and asset
earned illegally. The opposition along with the ruling party admired the legislation
in the State Assembly, which also has been welcomed by the people of the state.
They have termed the move to be a milestone for checking corruption In a meeting
of the Anti Corruption Bureau officials held on February 2, Chief Minister Ashok
Gehlot spoke his determination to check corruption by saying that corruption could
be curbed by reforming the system. He said measures would be taken up to curb
corruption. Gehlot told the meeting that disproportionate properties and assets
should be confiscated and used to further public interest. The funds should be
used to open schools and hospitals. A bill was brought in the State Cabinet meeting
held on March 1 within a month after Gehlot first mentioned it in the ACB officials
meeting. Provision was made in the bill to facilitate the Government to confiscate
the disproportionate assets and properties and to use it in public interest. The
commitment of the State Government came to the fore when this bill was passed
in the current session of the State Assembly. During the discussion in the Assembly
over the bill not only the ruling party side but also the opposition too appreciated
the quick action of the State Government. The disproportionate assets or properties
will not be transferred or sold and such transfer or sale will be null and void
and liable to be confiscated by the State Government.
