New Delhi:
Here's what BJP leader Yashwant Sinha said in the Lok Sabha:
- Before entering politics, I thought the toughest exam is IAS exam
- I have won some elections, lost others, and feel winning a Lok Sabha election is the toughest feat.
- We are available at all times to our constituencies, answerable always to voters
- Those who think winning an election is easy, or sitting in the Lok Sabha is easy... they do not know what it means to really be a member of this House
- But we must also ponder over why we are now in this position.
- There has never been as intense or urgent a call for a Lokpal. We should introspect over this.
- Narayanasamy was aggressive. Kapil Sibal was even more aggressive.
- The way the PM listed his government's achievements seemed like an exit speech.
- The government wants to shove this bill down our throats. Why?
- You have deliberately created a weak and helpless Lokpal
- I was surprised that when we talked of federal structure, the PM referred to it as "legally sophistry."
- You introduce a quota, and then you say let the court decide this.
- I have never heard of this - we will make a deliberate mistake and then let court decide.
- What this government has put us through with its scandals -that is why an old man is on a fast in Mumbai
- The honest PM heads the most corrupt government India has ever had. This is why people are restless and desperate for change
- Prevention of Corruption Act covers everyone from peon to PM; so does Indian Penal Code
- These two laws are what the Lokpal will enforce, isn't it?
- Not one minister from Atalji's government is in any jail
- Minority reservation - you have introduced this, you know it will not stick.
