e-Governance can check corruption: Gadkari

Says IT should be used to bring in transparency, rule of law and speed in working process

PTI | October 4, 2012



BJP president Nitin Gadkari on Thursday said e-governance can check corruption and "red-tapism" to a considerable extent.

Addressing the party's national convention on 'e-governance for good governance' in Mumbai, Gadkari said information technology (IT) should be used to bring in transparency, rule of law, speed in working process and dynamism.

"Corruption can come down by 70-80 percent because of e-governance. It can benefit a person and life can become easy with it," he said.

The BJP leader also directed the IT cell of the state unit to prepare a module of e-governance in the corporations and zila parishads for good functioning.

"Application of technology in social life and rural development can prove beneficial to the people," Gadkari added.

BJP-ruled states like Gujarat, Karnataka and Chhattisgarh have been doing a good job with the inception of e-governance, he said.

Emphasising that his party is committed to the people, Gadkari said they are in favour of modernisation rather than westernisation.

Party representatives from 19 states participated in the convention.
