“People’s representatives who get a salary and allowances are speaking less and less in Parliament. Then how is development possible?,” asked former Karnataka Lokayukta N. Santosh Hegde.
Speaking at the online launch of the Kannada book Bengalurina Bhoo Mafia Bhrashtacharada Chakravyuha, jointly written by Shankara K. Prasad and Nehtrakere Udaya Shankara, on Sunday, he said our economy is progressing, but peace and harmony in society are disappearing owing to greed.
“It is not wrong for a person to become rich. But it should not be earned by committing illegal acts,” he said, adding that such wealth will not last.
