Chances are that the corrupt government servant who fleeced you may possibly come knocking on your door to return the amount. That seems to be the new trend in the state, if claims of the Chandrababu Naidu government are to be believed. With a recent nation-wide survey report placing AP at the second place after Karnataka as the most corrupt state in the country, the Chandrababu regime has launched this exercise to showcase its fight against corruption. "So far 12 persons had returned the bribe amounts to the citizens in the past few days. In one instance in Kurnool district, a panchayat secretary had returned (bribe) money to 10 citizens (in separate cases)," chief minister Chandrababu Naidu said. The 'People First' grievance redressal channel launched by the government on May 25 seems to be "working wonders" and "sending chills down the spines of (corrupt) public servants", some government functionaries have said.
