News Today With Rajdeep Sardesai: Lokpal A 'Jokpal'? Fury Over Dalit Man's Humiliation | India Today

This special report covers multiple significant developments across India. It scrutinizes the Lokpal of India, the nation's anti-corruption watchdog, amidst a controversy over its tender to purchase seven luxury BMW cars for approximately ₹5 crore. This acquisition has drawn criticism from opposition leaders and activists, including Congress MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who stated, 'I want the watchdog, not a lapdog.' The report examines the Lokpal's effectiveness, highlighting data indicating a majority of complaints are dismissed on technical grounds with few leading to prosecution. Experts like Dushyant Dave have called for its abolishment. The program also addresses the India-United States trade relationship, following a Diwali phone call between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and then-US President Donald Trump, where trade and India's oil purchases from Russia were key topics. Additionally, it investigates infrastructure disparities in monsoon-hit Chennai, where VVIP areas have pristine roads while citizens navigate pothole-ridden lanes. The report further details a case of alleged caste discrimination in Lucknow, where a Dalit elder was reportedly forced to lick urine, and concludes with India's preparations to extradite fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi, including details of a special jail cell awaiting him.
