It is always a pleasure to listen to Mr Mohandas Pai. I wish Politicians in Karnataka in particular listen to him. Sadly, I know that will not happen. Crooks have taken over our so-called democracy. Only God Almighty can save us.

I hope PMO is listening to Mr Pai... He's one of the few pvt sector champion, bold and wise people in India.

What an explosive podcast... Bengaluru is yet another example of the fact that everything in India that is progress happens not because of Government but despite Government

[sridharan]

He speaks sense, he should be an advisor to govt.

[shula]

Pai is speaking Raw Matter. Kudos to Him

[Modiyogimodiyogimodi]

Absolutely correctly said by Mr. Pai, corruption in India starts at the top from the PMO, Modi should take responsibility.

[manu]

Mohandas Pai, only person talking truth....

[varghesekurian]

Good talk. It is absolutely shocking and sickening that there is so much corruption in Karnataka both at political and official level. It is high time that one is able to get his job done through the system as is the case in Europian countries and America.

[Oo-plzg]

India needs these type of leaders to government the country..he should be PM.
Not like the politicians we have who are unemployable.

[manikandanparameswaran]

Mr. Pai correct. The sad part is the corrupt system in our country in the name of democracy

[aloysiusdiaz]

Looting 3 crores per medical seat by your Manipal University, what is it? CORRUPTION?
