Fake concerns

I often wonder whether the concerns on various matters expressed by the people in service of the government are true or false.
And my experience of over 30 years tells me that accepting such concerns at their face value is fraught with danger.
This is primarily because of the "Dr Jeykall & Mr Hyde" type of persona that most of us bureaucrats acquire during our stint in the so called service of the nation.
People who do not mean what they say and do not say what they mean are in command almost everywhere and that is the real problem of India. People whose only concern is "self" and who would go to any length to satiate their personal ambitions and desires cannot be and will also never be of any use to the nation.
I find the situation "unfortunate" to say the least.
Is there any salvation?
