First of all what is Central Vigilance Commission :- In 1964 the Government of India created this body to address the issue of corruption. Its free from governmental control , it is a autonomous entity that monitors all the vigilance activities under the Centre. It also advises different Central Government bodies in planning, executing, reviewing as well as reforming their respective vigilance work.
So it is clear that the role of CVC is of tremendous importance although its just a mere advisory body. The various government departments are free to accept or reject the advise given by them. This institution was created to fight corruption. So the post of Central Vigilance Commissioner is of great importance.
The Central Vigilance Commissioner is appointed by the president on the basis of recommendations of a committee comprising of :
i) The Prime Minister.
ii) The Ministry of Home Affairs.
iii) The Leader of the second largest party of Lok Sabha.
Now after Modi got elected as the Prime Minister of the country the post of CVC was vacant for the last 9 months. Last week KV Chowdhry was appointed as the Central Vigilance Commissioner and this has caused a huge uproar in the top legal circles , terming KV Chowdhry not suited for the job.
One of most well known lawyers in the country and former law minister during the Vajpayee regime Mr Ram Jethmalani, who before the Lok Sabha elections was a crazy Modi supporter and went on to call him an avtaar of Hindu God Vishnu has gone public with his angry letter addressed to the Prime Minster of India.

The letter makes it clear that Mr Ram Jethmalani has lost all respect for Mr Modi, who has led down the entire nation after he became the Prime Minister. The last line of the letter reads "My diminishing respect for you ends today". This shows that even Ram Jethmalani a lawyer who commands a few lakhs for a single appearance in SC was also fooled by the Modi wave thanks to Baba Ramdev.
Another well known lawyer and PIL warrior Prashant Bhusan plans to take government to court over this. The following link has more details . http://www.legallyindia.com/Bar-Bench-Litigation/p-bhushan-to-take-gov-t-to-court-over-shameful-cvc-appointment-as-ramjet-breaks-up-with-pm.
To end corruption one needs people with clean intentions if someone has an election campaign that is financed by crony corporates and after becoming Prime Minster works to make them rich then how can the evil of corruption end in India.
Indian public need to vote using their brains just like the people of Delhi did in the Delhi Assembly Elections of 2015.
