Money in black

From the above link:

T.M. Selvaganapathy, former Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam MP, who was disqualified in April after being convicted in a scam that dates back to 1995 when he was Rural Development Minister in the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam government, said: “In Tamil Nadu, an established model of bribing voters has been established in which whoever pays more will win ... The remedy is that that the Election Commission needs to take over the enforcement of the model code by its own staff rather than leave it to the district administration.”
Corruption underwent a qualitative shift with the advent of liberalisation in the early 1990s — from “retail to wholesale,” as the former Central Vigilance Commissioner N. Vittal put it. Earlier, doling out licences and awarding government contracts were the primary sources of corruption, done on a piecemeal basis; post-liberalisation, formulating policies that benefit select players and discretionary distribution of natural resources created an abundance of rent-seeking opportunities for politicians. A politician in a north Indian State is said to have changed his nameplate from “Notary and real estate agent” to “Minister and real estate agent.”
