I think this is to score political brownie points, but it still an interesting idea. It comes in the wake of what has been a very eventful year in India against corruption[1] which included fasts by a prominent social activist to pass India's first ombudsman bill[2].

This is no political gimmick. I am from Kerala, where Oommen Chandy is CM, and can quite understand what he is trying to achieve. Mr. Chandy is a straight forward and no non-sense person who speaks his mind. And he has created enough enemies in doing so. Now there are quite a lot of people who blame him for corruption for no reason. This is his way to put an end to such blame game; way easier than denying all allegations against him.
