New Delhi: Here are the highlights of what Janata Dal (United) chief Sharad Yadav said during the debate on the Lokpal Bill in the Lower House.- Country is sick with a disease called bhrashtachar (corruption)
- Repeatedly, there are references to the fact that for 40 years, Lokpal Bill has not been introduced
- VP Singh, Indira Gandhi, Atal Behari Vajpayee cold not bring it
- We have brought it in Bihar
- We spoke to the people leading the agitation (Team Anna). We consulted other parties
- You think the country won't understand how you are trying to trick it with regard to imposing the law upon states?
- People are angry with inflation, poverty and corruption. Politicians and bureaucrats are being blamed for corruption. They are also responsible for progress. Development has not reached villages. But whatever progress has been made, they must get credit for that too.
