    Today It is shocking to see the Loksabha arguments.None of the BJP MP's have requested the speaker for a debate.Only few UPA MP's made request and read out speeches and sugestions for the Lokpal bill.
    The BJP MP's made false statements infront of the media about today's debate in the parliament.Every MP's say that they are with Anna.If they are with Anna and if UPA is not with Anna then why not the BJP did not raise voice in the debate session.They keep silent and make false reports to the media.

    Todays parliment was worst than fish Market and those says Lokpal should accross parliment. Our elected people do not have manners, how to behave. Rahul narrates old stories, these everyone knows. Result is zero. His family invested in Swiss for zero interest. opposition kept quite coz they are also involved in state level.
