Lokpal and it's mess
It is so appalling to see such a mess being made of the Lokpal bill. The bill was finally tabled in the parliament by the government. Of course, it may not have been the best version of the Lokpal because of the obvious insincerity of the government, and that it was under immense pressure to pass it.

It was shocking to see the bill not getting passed because of political interests of opposition parties and allies. BJP did not support the bill because it did not want the credit of the Lokpal to go to government -- acted like a true opposition or rather political opportunists. CPI didn't want the lokpal passed because of it's stupid ideological reasons. Ideology becomes so important to them that it surpasses national interest. SP and RJD did not support the bill because they are so corrupt that they don't see anything beyond their interests. It is so funny to hear a statement from Lalu Prasad saying that the present Lokpal is not strong enough to combat corruption. I remember Mulayam and Lalu Prasad had given similar reasons during the debate on women's reservation bill .... such as, we will not support the bill unless there is reservation for women for backward castes. Trinamool congress is an eternal nuisance. She was the cause the bill got postponed because she wanted an amendment regarding change of name, and removal of the lokayukta clause in the bill --- which i fail to understand why . It does look choreographed by all, aptly mentioned in the article by Santosh Hegde,
A sad day, indeeeed !
