The biggest culprits, in corruption and bad governance, are babus. They are killing the country. They are road blocks on anything, any reform, any change for the better, any involvement of common man in governance.
Any thing that improves life of the people is threat to their corruption.
Incompetence, dereliction of duty, unaccountability, political biases, out right corruption seems to have become the hall mark of babudom.
CM Yogi, shuffling IAS officers in UP for want of improving governance, is a very appropriate example of incompetence. It is now that babudom’s corruption is being brought out and babus are punished. We have many cases where babus were caught and punished.
Rajendra Kumar’s (of Delhi) corruption is such an example.

What is the government doing about it? The govt needs to quickly formulate policies to punish corrupt and incompetent. Some suggestions :
1. Dismissal of corrupts, and jail, with recovery of losses from the family of babu, because the entire family enjoyed thr fruits of corruption without batting an eyelid.
2. Lateral entry of domain experts, technically proven people in management, operations etc.
3. Changing recruitment methodology of babus, something like ARMY.
4. Compulsory posting on the borders as part of ARMY for 2 years, every 7 years.
5. Promotions only on performance, with only 30% promoted every time.
6. Severe punishment on incompetence.
7. Jail for dereliction of duty (OH, we will need 5 more Tihar jails).
8. Working conditions to be changed, make them accountable not only for work but also for the corruption of their juniors.
9. All cases of corruption to be dealt with with in six months.
10. No govt or govt related employment after retirement.
