Trigger For Change

The newspapers are full of the Commonwealth Games fiasco and enough is being said without adding my two cents worth.

I sincerely hope that this will be the trigger for the public to demand more transparency and accountability from the politicians and the bureaucracy. The government needs to streamline the numerous departments to avoid passing the buck like it is being done now. The Metro is a good example. By giving Mr.Shreedharan the overriding powers the National Capital Region Metro has come in on time and on budget repeatedly since its inception.

Why can we not do this for other major projects ?  I am sure there are many other Shreedharan's around that we do not have to rely on the likes of  Mister  " It will be the best Common Wealth G ames ever. It will be better than the Beijing Olympics " .

The first step towards this is ensuring the strict implementation of the Right To Information and providing legal protection to the information seeker. It will be the first step towards a better , cleaner India which we can all be proud off.
