Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi while attending a Press Conference in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh on 6th February 2012 as part of his poll campaign in Uttar Pradesh said that Congress wanted a strong Lokpal Bill with a constitutional status like the election Commission of India. Rahul Gandhi alleged that it was BJP which blocked this idea.
Rahul Gandhi said “Let me explain this corruption issue... I stood in Parliament house... the Congress party took a Bill that was going to revolutionize the fight against corruption, it was called the Constitutional Lokpal... we (Congress) said the Election Commission is an independent body… it is evident that it is fair body... it has shown that it can run large scale operation in a state... there is beauty in the design of the Election Commission... let us make a Lokpal Bill along the same principles... let us a make a Lokpal Bill that allows independence... which gives true power to a Lokpal”
Then lashing out at BJP Rahul Gandhi added “Mr Advani and the other opposition leaders laughed at this idea... in Parliament House they stood there, I saw this with my own eyes while sitting there… and laughing... this idea is a fundamental powerful institution for this country and they laughed... and when you asked them why did you not pass the constitutional Lokpal they said it is not our idea... it is Rahul Gandhi’s idea or Manmohan Singh Ji’s idea or Sonia Ji’s idea... but no.. they got it wrong ... it is India’s idea... and it is going to happen whether they like it or not “.
