Bihar to dismiss 70 corrupt officers
Patna, Jan 24 (IANS) The Bihar government has decided to dismiss 70 corrupt officers, and more will be sacked in the coming weeks, an official said Friday.
Chief Secretary A.K. Sinha has given the go ahead for the dismissal of the 70, an official in the Chief Minister's Office said.
Official sources told IANS that most officers facing the sack were caught red handed while accepting bribes.
The process to dismiss them was initiated after departmental proceedings proved the charges against the officials.
Nearly 10 days ago, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar demanded that inquiries against corrupt officers should be expedited and they should be dismissed from service within two months if found guilty.
In the last two days, the Economic Offences Unit of Bihar Police raided two corrupt officers in Patna and detected assets worth crores of rupees with them.
The effects of the AAP Tsunami is being felt from Rajasthan, Punjab, Maharashtra and now Bihar.
What India Against Corruption could not achieve, AAP has done by just winning the Delhi elections and the fear of the political parties in the coming assembly elections.
One thing I would like to ask Mr. Nitish Kumar.
You have so far taken actio
Have your ministers suddenly become honest or are you scared of taking action against them?

I think something is better than nothing. Your words are a bit harsh. Nitish Kumar may not be the most honest CM but even dismissing 70 petty officials is a big thing in caste based Bihar. Large scale corruption won't reduce without a working judiciary and police and the enactment of an anti corruption law like AAP's jan lokpal act but petty corruption can still be tackled if one has political will.
