judging Lokayukta
We probably don't know much about their office - how many officers, how many cases do they work on? what are their limitations. So this poll is testing our perceptions of Lokayukta office.
The effectiveness depends on the person heading the commision
Though there is a proper selection process, the recent fiasco about appointment of Justice Shivaraj V Patil shows how the government in power can subvert it.
BSY, Katta, Son
And possibly Mr Nirani, CPY and couple more next. Awesome job.
Ineffective!
Santosh Hegde made all the 'noises', did some good reports on the mining issue, but didnt take them to a logical end.
Yes, they are limited in their powers - but are they making the full use of their powers? I dont believe they are!
It would have been good to pick their battles. They need not have gone directly at the cheif minister. Pick a couple of ministers/MLA and dedicate their energies there, instead of taking on the entire establishment.
Today it has become a headless body - both figurately and literally!
