&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;One of the issues that brought Prime Minister Narendra Modi to power in 2014 was corruption, the antidote to which was to be a Lokpal, a public ombudsman. His government reluctantly set it up only five years later, after a Supreme Court order. In 2021, it received no more than 30 complaints, with critical posts of inquiry and prosecution chiefs vacant, a third of its budget unused and a former member telling us there are no efforts to make the Lokpal effective&amp;ndash;a toothlessness markedly similar to what happened in Gujarat under Modi.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;For a country that was found to have one of Asia&amp;rsquo;s worst bribery rates in 2020, there appear to be very few complaining of corruption in the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi&amp;mdash;if you count the number of cases registered with the Lokpal, India&amp;rsquo;s corruption-fighting independent, national ombudsman.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In 2019-20, the year the Lokpal was established, it received 1,427 complaints; in 2020-21, it received 110 complaints, and until July 2021, no more than 30. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In August 2021, the government in Parliament cited this declining number of complaints to the Lokpal as evidence that &amp;ldquo;there is hardly anything to complain against&amp;rdquo; with regard to Modi&amp;rsquo;s government. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Lokpal is meant to inquire and investigate allegations of corruption against public servants, including former and current Prime Ministers, union cabinet ministers, members of parliament, and central government officers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Of the 30 complaints during 2021, the latest year for which data are publicly available, 11 were &amp;ldquo;closed&amp;rdquo; and the rest are under investigation. The Lokpal does not make available the nature of complaints and how they are handled.&lt;/p&gt;

Corruption Allegations Felled The UPA, But Modi’s Bribery-Fighting Lokpal Has Little To Do -Saurav Das

-Article-14.com One of the issues that brought Prime Minister Narendra Modi to power in 2014 was corruption, the antidote to which was to be a Lokpal, a public ombudsman. His government reluctantly set it up only five years later, after a Supreme Court order. In 2021, it received no more than 30 complaints, with critical posts of inquiry and prosecution chiefs vacant, a third of its budget unused and a former member telling us there are no efforts to make the Lokpal effective–a toothlessness markedly similar to what happened in Gujarat under Modi. New Delhi: For a country that was found to have one of Asia’s worst bribery rates in 2020, there appear to be very few complaining of corruption in the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi—if you count the number of cases registered with the Lokpal, India’s corruption-fighting independent, national ombudsman.  In 2019-20, the year the Lokpal was established, it received 1,427 complaints; in 2020-21, it received 110 complaints, and until July 2021, no more than 30.   In August 2021, the government in Parliament cited this declining number of complaints to the Lokpal as evidence that “there is hardly anything to complain against” with regard to Modi’s government.    The Lokpal is meant to inquire and investigate allegations of corruption against public servants, including former and current Prime Ministers, union cabinet ministers, members of parliament, and central government officers.  Of the 30 complaints during 2021, the latest year for which data are publicly available, 11 were “closed” and the rest are under investigation. The Lokpal does not make available the nature of complaints and how they are handled. Please click here to read more.
