Is Nitish fooling the people?

Nitish reiterates demand for Presidential nod for Bill on corruption

Patna, (Bihar Times): A day after the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh asked the investigative agencies to catch the big fish to eradicate corruption, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Thursday once again requested him to ensure early Presidential assent to a Bill related to corruption passed by the two Houses of Bihar assembly over five months ago.

He said that it is appropriate time for the Centre to step up measures to root out corruption from the system. The Prime Minister must intervene to ensure clearance of the Bill already passed by the two Houses of the state legislature.
It needs to be recalled that the Prime Minister had on Wednesday asked CBI and state anti-corruption officials to aggressively pursue high level corruption cases saying the perception that big fish escape punishment while small is caught must change and they should act swiftly and without fear.
The Bill referred to by Nitish, provides for confiscation of assets of public servants accumulated by them beyond their known sources of income. Mr. Nitish said he had raised the issue with Union Law Minister M Veerappa Moily during their recent meeting in New Delhi too.
Meanwhile, the chief minister left for the aerial survey of the flood affected areas of Madhubani and Darbhanga district early on Thursday

And I thought at least we had one honest Chief Minister in Nitish Kumar.
I have not seen the definition of public Servant in Nitish's bill.
If by Public Servants Nitish means only government employees, then I am afraid Nitish is making a fool of the people.
However, if public servants also include MLA, MPs councillors then I appreciate Nitish's effort.
These are the fountainhead of corruption.
All corruption emnate from MPs, MLAs and Ministers.
these should be targetted first.
But does Nitish have the guts.
After all many of his own party men too are criminals.Two of them being Rajiv Ranjan and Vijay Kumar Shukla.
He should first clean his own house.
