These days corruption scandals, Land scams are taking the headlines by storm. As a progressive nation none of us would want to hear such things. So what should we do so that these things do not happen???
Looking into the dictionary defines corruption as “dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power , typically involving bribery”.
Corruption is a non-political issue. Corruption and its aftermath are indeed political but the issue is non-political. Whoever does it, the common man will be the sufferer at the end of the day.
Especially in India if we go on confining corruption a party and do not treat it as a social issue, we will end up nowhere.
Corruption has become very systematic in many governmental institutions. 
It has grown so big that it is necessary for many. We have heard of cases where officials who have refused to pay bribe to senior officials have been killed. Even for promotions and transfers, it’s said that they have to pay bribe.
So my point is all parties should come out to fight against corruption non-politically. I believe that this is the best possible solution. If these big daddies (National parties) make up their mind, I am sure we can become a non-corrupt state.
Institutions like Lokayukta have very limited power. Many officials fear lokayukta raids and so corruption is bit reduced. If everyone (EG: PM, CM, Cabinet ministers) comes under the jurisdiction of this, we can definitely reduce corruption.
As always in the end I say that there is a role of citizens too. We have to change our mindset :)

Efforts to achieve perfection is what we expect.
