Chattisgargh India's most corrupt state: Veerappa Moily
Chhattisgarh should learn from the Andhra Pradesh government on how to get rid of Naxalism as its failure to curb the 'menace' is affecting neighbouring states now, Union law minister Veerappa Moily on Monday said.
"The Chhattisgarh government's failure in curbing Naxalism has begun to affect neighbouring states too," he told reporters here.
Chhattisgarh should learn from the Andhra Pradesh government on how to get rid of Naxalism by improving law and order and by having socio and economic development, he said.
When a dam is filled to the brink, it overflows, similarly Naxalism has increased to such a level in Chhattisgarh that it is diverting towards other states, he added.
Moily said both the Naxal menace and corruption were at their peak in the state.
"Chhattisgarh ranks among the most corrupt places in the country. Its position is like a diabetic patient who is easily susceptible to other diseases," he said.
The state is facing problems like corruption, deteriorating law and order and non-implementation of Centrally-sponsored schemes, he added.
Asked whether governor's rule should be imposed in the state, Moily said the UPA government will not act against the spirit of the Constitution but the "law and order situation has really deteriorated in the state."
