“Book Descriptions: DGP ranked officer Jacob Thomas IPS is a rebel police officer in Kerala, who has waged a vigorous campaign against corruption in the state and has been at the receiving end of multiple transfers. His recent speech in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday on Anti-Corruption day, throws light on the poor state of affairs. He said that those who speak against corruption in the state are considered insane and corrupt officers are being promoted to higher levels. "One can become a chief secretary only if there are at least three Vigilance FIRs pending against him, he said sarcastically in his speech. He said people and media should expose corrupt politicians, while pointing out, last year, the Chief Minister and Home Minister had done an anti-corruption pledge this day. But this year they did not even prepare a pledge. Jacob also warned in his speech that the Chennai floods could be witnessed in Kerala also, if the needs of only a privileged few are taken care of, without all-round development.” DRIVE
