Activists not sure if PM can eradicate corruption
Activists and volunteers supporting anti-corruption efforts are doubtful if the Prime Minister can keep up his word and take efforts to eradicate corruption.”As a PM, he might be referring to the corruption at a bigger level like the coal scam or 2G scam. But for a common man, this might not mean much, even though it does make an impact on the country’s economy. Only if corruption is eliminated at the lowest level, it will make a difference,” said Ibrahim, an AAP volunteer.
He should start off by eliminating corrupt ministers from the cabinet and introduce severe punishments in order to induce fear, this will help in mitigating corruption

Transparency is the key. If the government is more transparent about the laws and the court proceedings, people would probably get a sense of fear or even responsibility. This would also create some vestige of trust in people

As far as I know, corruption is rampant amongst the lower cadre of government officials who accept bribes in order to expedite petty jobs. The PM should replace them with more honest officials
