Watchdog Not Lapdog: Abhishek Manu Singhvi | Lokpal's BMW Push | India Today

This special report delves into the controversy surrounding India's anti-corruption ombudsman, the Lokpal, featuring a sharp critique from Senior Congress MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi in an interview with India Today's Rajdeep Sardesai. Singhvi questions the institution's priorities, stating, 'I want the watchdog not a lapdog I have no problem with the cars'. The debate ignites over a tender for seven luxury BMW cars for Lokpal members, a move Singhvi calls a 'tragic irony'. Singhvi presents data suggesting the Lokpal's ineffectiveness, citing only a handful of investigations and alleging it targets opposition figures like Mahua Moitra and Hemant Soren while showing opacity on complaints against the ruling party. The discussion scrutinizes the performance of the Lokpal, headed by former Supreme Court Judge A.M. Khanwilkar, and whether the institution has failed to live up to its mandate as a powerful anti-corruption watchdog.
