Ration Corruption Continues in Rural Orissa

Below Poverty Line villagers in Cuttack district are constantly cheated of their allotted rations.
Sarita told us at VV that this was the hardest video she has made so far. She faced opposition and threats from the ration card dealers while shooting, and they stoutly refused to give her an interview. They even warned her that they would go to the police and report her interference. The villagers did not want to speak on camera about what was going on out of fear that their rations would be further cut.

So Sarita took the DVD we had sent her with IndiaUnheard videos from the previous month and showed them to her neighbours and other villagers. The result of this proactivity was that when Sarita went to confront the corrupt ration card dealers, she was supported by the other villagers who had come there at the same time. After seeing her, they were also more willing to share what was happening.

These people are poor. Under the BPL scheme, they are entitled to subsidized foods and fuel. To benefit from this scheme, those who are eligible have to submit their applications, duly attested by the Municipal Councillor or Village Council Head, two photographs and an affidavit. Once they have their cards, they should receive a specified amount of sugar, rice, wheat, kerosene, etc, per month. As we saw with Sunita’s video on the same topic last week, there is corruption at every level. People are forced to pay bribes to get their ration cards, then they have to pay to get their rations.

Clearly, something is wrong. Sarita says she can use this video to garner support and mobilize the villagers into going as a group to the Village Council Head. First, she would need to explain to all the BPL families what they are supposed to be getting, and in what quantities. Then she can organize a petition to be signed and taken to the higher authorities, such that the corrupt ration card dealer can be replaced.

Salient features of Jan Lokpal Bill

Drafted by Justice Santosh Hegde, Prashant Bhushan and Arvind Kejriwal, this Bill has been refined on the basis of feedback received from public on website and after series of public consultations. It has also been vetted by and is supported by Shanti Bhushan, JM Lyngdoh, Kiran Bedi, Anna Hazare etc. It was sent to the PM and all CMs on 1st December.

1. An institution called LOKPAL at the centre and LOKAYUKTA in each state
will be set up

2. Like Supreme Court and Election Commission, they will be completely
independent of the governments. No minister or bureaucrat will be able to
influence their investigations.

3. Cases against corrupt people will not linger on for years anymore:
Investigations in any case will have to be completed in one year. Trial
should be completed in next one year so that the corrupt politician, officer or judge is sent to jail within two years.

4. The loss that a corrupt person caused to the government will be recovered at the time of conviction.

5. How will it help a common citizen: If any work of any citizen is not done in prescribed time in any government office, Lokpal will impose financial penalty on guilty officers, which will be given as compensation to the complainant.

6. So, you could approach Lokpal if your ration card or passport or voter card is not being made or if police is not registering your case or any other work is not being done in prescribed time. Lokpal will have to get it done in a month’s time. You could also report any case of corruption to Lokpal like ration being siphoned off, poor quality roads been constructed or panchayat funds being siphoned off. Lokpal will have to complete its
investigations in a year, trial will be over in next one year and the guilty will go to jail within two years.

7. But won’t the government appoint corrupt and weak people as Lokpal
members? That won’t be possible because its members will be selected by
judges, citizens and constitutional authorities and not by politicians,
through a completely transparent and participatory process.

8. What if some officer in Lokpal becomes corrupt? The entire functioning of Lokpal/ Lokayukta will be completely transparent. Any complaint against
any officer of Lokpal shall be investigated and the officer dismissed within two months.

9. What will happen to existing anti-corruption agencies? CVC, departmental
vigilance and anti-corruption branch of CBI will be merged into Lokpal.
Lokpal will have complete powers and machinery to independently investigate and prosecute any officer, judge or politician.
