Prakash Karat, General Secretary, CPI(M) stated that the root cause of the scams in the country is the corrupt nexus of big business-politicians-bureaucrats. In an article in the latest issue of “Peoples Democracy”, mouth piece of the party, he stated :

“The recent revelations have confirmed the hard truth. The Prime Minister presides over a cabinet in which some are advocates of certain business interests and some are businessmen themselves. A few are lawyers who have represented the very corporates with whom they have to deal with in the portfolios they look after. It is illegal money generated by the corrupt big business-politician-bureraucrat nexus that is flowing in to the political system and perverting politics and democracy.There is a direct link between this corruption and illegal money which is being used on a large scale in elections. Fighting corruption , therefore, requires attacking this root of this evil, which is the corrupt nexus.”
