IT REFERS to Madhya Pradesh becoming the first Indian state to make details of assets and wealth of its IAS officers public at a time when state achieved notoriety for its top bureaucrats trapped in income tax raids for accumulating huge unaccounted wealth. Union government should immediately make it a uniform rule for all in judiciary, legislature and bureaucrats both at centre and in states to put details of their assets and wealth on official websites.
But even this is not enough. Details of personal one-time expenses above say rupees fifty thousand should also be made public by all those in legislature, judiciary and bureaucracy. It is a common practice that huge enormous amounts in multiples of millions are spent by persons on high posts on personal functions like marriages, birthdays and anniversaries. They should also disclose details of gifts and favours received on such celebrations as these are at times of indirect form of bribes.
