85% people voted against Govt's Lokpal Bill in Chandni Chowk
The verdict is out. The so called representatives have failed to represent their people. The electorate of the HRD minister Kapil Sibal has come out strongly against the provisions of the Lokpal Bill approved by the Cabinet. The referendum conducted by team Anna in the Chandni Chowk Lok Sabha constituency reveals that the elected representatives are not voicing their electorate's wishes. Eighty five percent of the people surveyed in Sibal's constituency have opted in favor of the provisions proposed by team Anna.
85 percent of the people surveyed agreed with team Anna's demand that if the citizen's charter is violated penalty should be imposed on the guilty officer and it should be paid to the citizen as compensation. Only 7 percent said penalties should not be there.
