Tags: Current Focus, India,
The corruption conviction in Bangalore of the Chief Minister of Tamilnadu state in southern India. Under a Supreme Court ruling she is barred from public office for 10 years and cannot serve as chief minister even if the case is on appeal. She is in jail in Bangalore serving her sentence.
Chief Minister Jayalalitha in the State of Tamilnadu, India, and the conviction for corruption in 2014
09/27/2014
A Supreme Court ruling prevents a politician from serving in office if convicted on corruption charges even if it is appealed, and bars the person from public office for 10 years. The ruling was intended to prevent Indian politicians to use their office to delay consequences of corruption convictions seemingly forever. Jayalalitha in Tamilnadu state with the capital Madras (Chennai), is the first convicted chief minister where this ruling is applied. Corruption is endemic in public life in India, slowing the growth rate and reducing opportunities for business growth.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
