Skewed State Administration

As I have mentioned in my previous posts, frequent power cuts are common in the area where I reside in Chennai.

Last night there was a power cut lasting for nearly 4 hours. No Electricity Board Engineer and workers fixed the problem in time, provided that they are paid undeservedly high salaries. 


It obviously means that in spite of a newly formed Government in Tamilnadu, there is no improvement in how the State is run.

I think that our political system needs drastic change such that only honest and efficient politicians come to power so that employees at all levels work honestly and responsibly with zero corruption and biases.

I don't know when rascal politicians, beurocrats and workers will be replaced by good ones. I wish that this happens at the earliest.
