The Prime Minister of India is considered to be the most incorruptible figure in Indian politics today. The Cambridge and Oxford educated economist has a great input in India's economic reforms which has led to the growth of the country in recent times. Manmohan Singh was at the 18th position in the 2010 list and this year he is dropped to the 19th position. The second richest man in Asia and the ninth richest man in the world, Mukesh Ambani, is also among the world's most powerful people, and is positioned at No. 35. Bagging many awards of honor, Ambani's Reliance industries signed a $7.2 billion deal with BP that obtained 30 percent in 23 of its oil and gas blocks in India. Reliance shares dropped by 11 percent as government auditors suspected the contract as it has violated some terms developing some of the blocks.
