The cancer of corruption has eaten into the vitals of Indian society. It has already done immense damage to our society. If the public servants are corrupt, the whole structure of society would be upset and the policies of government would be adversely affected. Thus, a corrupt public servant is a menace to society.
This was the verdict Special CBI Judge V. K. Maheshwari delivered while convicting Sukh Ram. But in his hometown on the banks of the Beas in Himachal Pradesh, he is considered a Messiah.
Mandi town was just a blip on the radar; it was long neglected until Sukh Ram came as its gallant saviour. He won five Assembly elections and three Lok Sabha elections from Mandi. Although now retired from active politics, he enjoys great veneration in his constituency. His immense popularity has led his son Anil Sharma to victory in three elections from the constituency.
This is in spite of the fact that the CBI seized Rs 2.45 crore in cash from his official residence and Rs 1.16 crore from his house in Mandi in 1996. The money was allegedly collected by committing irregularities in awarding a telecom contract. A Delhi court convicted him in February 2009. The case is now pending in the Delhi High Court but the people of Mandi are not bothered.
The people of Mandi love him and for good reasons. Says Rajesh Mahendru, a businessman and Congress worker, “Mandi was neglected. Pandit Sukh Ram brought us roads, schools, water supply and jobs. The television tower came up because of him, he developed the Indira Market here and he was responsible for setting up the army recruitment centre.”
Many echo this sentiment. People talk of him bringing telephone connectivity to remote villages and far flung areas like Lahaul-Spiti and Kinnaur. Shimla-based veteran journalist Rama Sharma says, “He was totally pro-Himachali and he worked for the benefit of the ordinary Himachali. The state owes a lot to him.”
