Question

To investigate charges of corruption in the state, the institution created was ______.

• A. Lokpal
• B. Lokshakti
• C. Lokayukta
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Lokayukta

Lack of strict vigilance and weak legal system give way for corruption. As such, in order to eradicate corruption, strong political will, as well as public support are essential. In other words, good political leadership, sound bureaucracy and politically matured citizens with civic sense have to struggle jointly to control the menace of corruption. The offices of Lokpal and Lokayukta too have got a corrective utility to control corruption. Educational Institutions and Social leaders also have got their positive role in tackling these problems. Strict punitive measures have to be adopted while dealing with corruption at all levels in our country.
