When a dog is cornered by a dog catcher instead of barks you hear squels because the dog knows that it is almost over and it is going inside. The behavior of these 3 lalus is exactly like that. BJP has failed as the main oppositionparty as it's leaders should hav gone on hunger strike not Annaji. Being the main opposition party it is it's job to constantly create awareness about issues, educate people on how to understand issues and keep ruling party in check by constant challenging them. But since they are also as corrupt as the congress they can't say much to congress. Hence they are reduced to extending their shelf life's in BJP leadership not willing to abdicate in favor of young generation.

Some politicians, after being elected,forget that public elect them to serve them. instead they think themselves super power.all politicians opposing Anna"s movement have never been fair in their politics life. Lalu and Mayawati are challenging Anna"s team to fight elections. charra scam for Lalu, taj corridor for Mayawati,accumulation of wealth beyond known sources for Mulayam and Mayawati. how much donation Mayawati takes for allotting tickets is not hidden.they know that an strong lokpal bill will not be in their interest. these are politicians who are running their politics business only on casteism. they should know that dalits/obcs are most affected by corruption in making ration cards, job cards etc.

A strong lokpal bill does not discriminate between casts, groups and religion. in beginning "tilak, taraju and talwar inko maaro jute char" was the only one slogan of bsp. now the slogan is no more because bsp is in power in up only due to votes of upper casts. more than 60% mlas are from upper casts. Mayawati has abondened the slogan, boycotted the cause of dalits only to be in power.her house is costing 62 lacs.she has come in line with Saddam to build her statue in her life time.dalits are nowhere.what has happened to Lalu, Sharad and Paswan in Bihar election is well known.most of the politicians have lost their morale and they are unable to see public's frustration & helplessnes against corruption.elected tyrants, wake.next issue of public may be electoral reforms.

These regional leaders including Mayavathi appear to be scared whether Anna is making inroads into their sphere of influence. Otherwise there is no justification for them to give the movement a communal/caste colour. At no time did Anna or other active members of civil society say anything that hurt the sentiments of any religion/group/clan/tribe. If people are small minded and want to behave like a frog in the well, can we help them?

Since the Lallus of this Parliament, corrupt, evil and scheming have brought such disrepute to the country and its Parliament, maybe they should just shut up. If Parlimentarians had done their duty, civil society would not have had to step in. Our leaders have failed us and we had no other recourse to a fair, equitable transparent democracy. Our Pariamentarians forget that they are not the bosses of the people of India - they are their servants. Civil society stepping in is not illegal. Direct Democracy works when indirect democracy through these rogues, do not.

If I remember right, these same Parliamentarians voted themselves a substantial pay hike recently and in record time without any problem, though none of them deserved it. All they do is fight among themselves and help themselves to the money set aside for welfare.

I hope the final bill incorporates the idea that those who have cases against them should be barred from standing for elections. Their place should not be in India's parliament but in our jails. But they should be made to pay for their stay there !

I don't really understand what these 3 guys are doing in parliament. I doubt whether they know what this movement is about. I myself belong to the SO CALLED weaker section of the society. These guys say they are the leaders of the weaker section of the society. I believe the weaker section of our society is the poor people who struggle everyday to feed their children. These kind of leaders go to them only at the time of elections.

After that they rest in peace in the lavishness they are provided by the government which comes as perks to all the MP's. And by the time they are thrown out of power, they actually acumulate so much money that they and their families can live their entire life lavishly. Mr Laalu has done nothing but to promote crime in Bihar during their tenure. Mr Paswan has earned a lot while holding different ministries in Central government. And Mr Sharad has done nothing for anyone except from winning elections on the basis of his caste.

Of course I do not have any proof of these but, all common people will accept this. Even if the people around Anna may be forcing government for few things but it is for the people of india and not for themselves. Also, these people do not have the right to say anything about likes of Kiran Bedi. They should be thinking a million times b4 saying such things for team Anna. But of course if they have such sensibilities they wud have been better politicians and better human beings.

This is nothing new .That's what you'll expect from these politicians who are afraid in loosing out due to vote bank shift as well as strong lokpal will make their life miserable.

Shame on you guys. We have seen how you guys act inside the parliament. We have seen what happens in your rallies.
The proof of Anna's crowd comes from the statement of a girl who went to Ramlila maidan - that for the first time nobody groped her in the crowd and why the people can't behave this way in markets, buses etc.?
Yes, some of the comments of Ms. Bedi et.al are unpalateable. But so are the comments from politicians like Manish Tewary.

It is sad a Person like Laloo Prasad Yadav become chief minister of a State . These bihari politicians have fake degrees. laloo is a LLB from bihar but somebody gave the exams for him. They feel inferior to a Kejriwal or a Kiran bedi. fooder Scam he was involved. They have a inferiority complex comparing themselves with any educated person. Laloo Yadav is the most corrupt person in Indian history. Sharad Yadav is only for scheduled castes . He has enjoyed full benefits for reservation but denied the same in parliament. Yadav an OBC in india what a joke.
