Blame game on: Govt says 187 amendments held lokpal

"At least 187 amendments were moved. The last of which was received at 6 (pm Thursday). That is the real story," home minister P Chidambaram told reporters in New Delhi, a day after a midnight drama in the Rajya Sabha ended in stalling the much awaited anti-graft lokpal bill.
He said it was impossible for the government to reconcile with such a large number of amendments in a limited time.
"Can anyone reconcile them? These cannot be reconciled in a matter of few minutes or a few hours," the home minister said.
When it was pointed out to him that the Trinamool Congress, an ally of the ruling Congress, also moved 37 amendments, Chidambaram said the issue would be discussed with the Mamata Banerjee-led party.
"The BJP had gone in understanding with some parties. The Trinamool changed its mind. That we have to discuss with the Trinamool. Apart from the regional parties, the BJP was also in favour of obliterating or weakening Clause 3 (about state lokayuktas)," he said.
The Trinamool had pressed for deleting the clause that mandated states to set up anti-graft ombudsman institutions on the same model proposed by the central government, saying it infringed on the autonomy of states.
Chidambaram alleged that the BJP was never interested in passing the lokpal bill.
"It doesn't lie in the mouth of the BJP to say they support the lokpal bill. They oppose it. The real story is that the BJP had no intention to pass the bill."
The home minister said if the government had allowed a vote in the house, the amended bill anyway would not have become a law because it had to go back to the Lok Sabha.
"We passed the bill in the Lok Sabha but in the Rajya Sabha they opposed the bill through the device and mechanism of amendments," he said.
"They run with the hares and hunt with hounds," said the home minister.

SiDevilIamParty of the first part, ie. Santosh Hegde the Supreme Court Judge (Retd) et al vs Party of the second part, ie, Congress, BJP, SP, BSP, Trinamul, AIDMK, DMK, JD, AC/DC, WMD, DDT, FBI, ISI, RAW, Shiv Sena, MNS, PBS, BBC, CNN- Hear ye, hear ye.The Supreme Court of Hindu Gods, all 3.3 millions of them in session.Call for the plaintiff, Mr Santosh Hegde."I swear by [substitute] Almighty God, "Anna" Hazare that the evidence I shall give shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. So help me Annamaniac.
"According to me, it did not give any indication that any side, anybody wanted the bill to be passed in the session at all. Everybody stood to gain...everybody who is in politics." "Who is the winner? Political parties. I am not saying any single party," "This (Parliament) is the institution they call supreme institution in law making," "very, very saddening day"
Call for the party of the second part.
Second call for the party of the second part.
Pranab Mukherjee is sworn in.
I beg the forgiveness of your high holy Godness, Sir.
This is a Kangaroo Court. I represent the Congress party and all other parties with their full consent and the power of Attorney in my pocket.
Santosh Hegde, et al are fundamental factors, instigators and fake Karsevaks, Oops, "kushadars," a bunch of goddamned liars, cheaters, rascals, rats, rogues and ruffians. They, the whole five of them, initially, known to the (Indian) media as core group, sometimes as Annamaniacs, the other times as Team Anna, Oops, team of donkeys on Viagra, make it, triple dose of Niagara brand of Viagra, started this idiotic notion that a strong Lokpal would cure India of corruption.
A social malady which is part of Hindu psyche.
Not you, the bench of nine, nor billion (foreign) gods could erase corruption (in god fearing country, called India, Oops, Bharat, Oops, Akhand Bharat, Oops, Mahabharat).
I rest my (mental) case.
Final judgement: Hang Santosh Hegde, Oops, Anna Hegde, Oops, Hazare.

Kishore_bhanRuling parties always blame opposition parties for their failure and same thing is happening here also. May we know why there was delayed tactics from ruling parties. Why ruling coalation was not under umbrella.
We still play a dirty politics with our own people. Not a single political party have a courage to stand up and accept that yes we did some mistakes and will try to consult all political parties and reach on concensus. But alas we dont know when we will get mature?I was really happy to see the discussion in parliament for lok pall bill, it strengths our belief on democratic set up of india.
- Kiran8npif govt had place original lokpal recomemded by anna, ammendments would not have been 187nos., indians know who are fooling whom, congress must realize that todays indians don't live in 1960's era..chidambaram, sibal, khurshid, ambica soni, digvijay who r dreaming to bring emergency era to enjoy unsolicited power with corruption money needs to be treated like mubarak of egypt, gadafi of libiya, ashad of syria, abdullah of yemen..andrest all will be in line.

- VoltaireBJP should not try to convince the Indian Urban society which although in India is highly educated by paper has no ability of applying logic. The more BJP is going to try the more it will start getting the idea
that somehow Congress was correct. Urban India is the only society which has the capacity of denying what they see in front of their eyes.Call it Urban Indias Cowardice, lack of logic, no philosophical basis to stand ,
or because they never ever have read Nietzsche or Toynbee or Max Mueller or Albert Einstein or
Ben Gurian or reading about Netanyahu (elder brother of PM of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu).Indian urban society is riddled with immense logical flaws. When Australians abuse Indians
and hurt them (stab them) they find something wrong with India. When Australians cheat
them in Cricket they find Indians to be weak and they don't even complaint.When 2G Scam comes everybody thinks Raja and Balwa have done nothing wrong, everybody
was doing wrong.When Bofors case is withdrawn the entire public just sit back and is quiet.
So if BJP tries to do that it will only meet resistance because there is no way to convince
a group on illogical reasoning strengthened simply by numbers and not logic.
The fact that Rahul Gandhi could not make to Harvard because they found him incapable
is not acceptable to the Indian Urban Society.
What is fascinating to the Indian Urban Society is Mahesh Bhatt and SUnny Leonne one
a w**re lover and the other the w**re.
What is not fascinating is Anna Hazare who sat and fast and clearly stated what Congress will do
but people never turned up there only to find Anna Hazare was right.
Congress was never interested and backed out the moment Anna called off his fast.
So more BJP will tell the illogicals the logical thing the more it will create trouble for them.
Instead BJP should concentrate on Elections and talk about other things.
You can't appeal about common sense to a set of people who do not know what common sense is
and what it means.
Since the day the Ghaznawi thrashed Indians, Britishers crushed Indians, Dwyer killed 100s
the moron Indians love Britishers more than they love their bretherens and freedom fighters like
Rajguru, Bhagat Singh.
So no point in bringing this to the notice, as Toynbee clearly says the destruction of the society
doesn't happen from outside, it happens from within when the intellectuals stop being important
for the society and become moderate people rather than leading the thought.
