The issues these two murders raise remain unaddressed. The contractor mafia still exercises a stranglehold over road-building projects in the country, the oil adulteration mafia continues to make money out of spiking petrol and diesel, helped in no small measure by the misplaced government subsidy on kerosene. Worse, the Centre has not moved an inch to make the lives of those who confront corruption any less lonely, any more secure. The proposed whistle-blower’s legislation remains in cold storage. This verdict from the Lakhimpur Kheri court comes as a reminder of the great deal that still needs to be done in tribute to the commitment of Manjunath and Dubey.
