For sake of Chandan: here is the simple explanation of my statement in simple English. To help him, I have inserted the phrases in.
(Let us assume) He is absolutely correct. (In his assumption) We must blame the system (of governance). (Thus )USA system (of governance) is better than Indian system (of governance, since it a reported that there is more corruption in India than in the USA). In the same analogy though, within the Indian system we must blame the Assam state system (of governance) for Assam being more corrupt than other states (as has been reported widely in the press).
Now all we need to find out why the Assam system (of governance) is inferior than other state system (within India).
Eureka.
Now we need to figure out why the Assam governance system if more corrupt than other states and who and how to fix it.
Let us hear what Chandan says about it.
Is GOI responsible for Assam governance being more corrupt.
Or he denies that Assam governance is not more corrupt than other states.
Is it the responsibility of the people of Assam or GOI to fix the Assam governance?
Which one it is.?
Don't bring the issue of sovereignty, Just answer the question.
