Question
Give a brief opinion about this Lokayukta.
Solution
Lok’ means people and ‘ayukta’ means authority. The Lokayukta is an anti-corruption authority established at the state level. It probes claims of corruption and mal-administration against public servants and is charged with the speedy remedy of public grievances. Corruption is unavoidable in the system of governance in India, subverting the adequacy of all institutions of governance. Corruption not only means taking bribes. Corruption and maladministration are the two ailments that influence the productivity of administration as the consequence of maladministration is corruption. In other words, Corruption and maladministration are like twin sisters complementing each other. It is the major issue that undermines the social texture and the political and administrative design of Indian society.
