Corridors of power are now free from corruption and intermediaries, says Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar has said that at present there is an ecosystem where corridors of power are free from corruption and intermediaries, and equality and accountability before the law is now a ground reality. Speaking at the 18th convocation of Maharshi Dayanand University in Rohtak, the Vice President said, that 15 years back, corridors of power were infested with power brokers and liaison agents and nothing could be transacted without corruption. 

But the scenario now is that governance corridors have been sanitised of power brokers who leveraged decision-making by corrupt extra-legal means, he said.

Noting that honesty, accountability, transparency, and integrity are non-negotiable elements, Mr



Dhankhar said, those who thought no one could reach them are stunned and they are within the reach of the law. Vice President said, high and mighty, all are accountable to the law, and that is the essence of democracy. 

Mr Dhankhar said, affirmative policies and governance have provided youth with a conducive platform where they can unleash their talent, realize aspirations, and contribute to India’s historic march to ‘Bharat@2047’. He said, young minds of India are the vanguards of a resurgent Bharat and the achievements of young minds in this country have been nothing short of extraordinary. They have brought about Bharat as the fifth largest economy in the world, Mr Dhankhar said.
