Lokpal to lead more corruption: Samajwadi party

New Delhi: The Samajwadi Party claimed the enactment of Lokpal bill will lead to an indecisive atmosphere in the country and result in more corruption.
“Laws were enacted for women and atrocities against women increased. So this will also increase corruption,” Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav told media outside the Parliament.

Samajwadi Party and Shiv Sena members, opposing the bill, staged a walk-out in protest, as their counterparts from other parties, including Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi and Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj, supported the measure.

Referring to the Bofors case, the Samajwadi Party leader said, “After the Bofors incident, the country could not get any new artillery gun. Now file movement will be stopped and everything will be passed on for the next government. This is the state of affairs.”

When it was pointed out that it was only the Samajwadi Party which did not support Lokpal, he said, “Others are for votes but we are concerned about the country.”
