Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Lokpal Bill

About Lokpal Bill he said the Lokpal Bill is fundamental. I think it is very important. But as I said it earlier it treats a disease after it happens. You have to think about the disease before it happens. At the end of the day the Lokpal Bill is going to come into contact with politicians. It will have to go to Parliament. It has to be operationalised. So let us think about improving the quality of the politicians, particularly the young politicians and the best way to improve the quality is to bring more people into politics. With regargs to specifics of the Lokpal Bill, I think the Prime Minister should come under it after he demits office. I have my concerns about the Prime Minister coming under it while he is in office. The reasons I have my concern is that the Prime Minister needs to lead the country, but the Prime Minister must come under its purview the day he demits office. Any activity that has to be done with regard to prosecution of the Prime Minister, it should happen the day he demits office. But in my view if you impose the Lokpal Bill on the Prime Minister while he is in office you open him up to a constant engagement which will be unhealthy for the leadership of the country. When the Prime Minister is running the country he needs to have a focus on the country and the day he leaves office, prosecute him. Make the bill applicable to him the day he demits office.

Rahul gandhi works really hard and takes the time to talk to common people and hear their problems- even though he does not need to- the position is his for the taking without him having to do anything if he so chooses- but he chooses to work hard and start at the grassroots. If you are fair person you will see that and give him a chance to change things for the better for india and its people.

Seems he is a big fan of movie, Minority report. We don't need Police any more as police comes to scene after crime happens. we can prevent murders and crimes much before its going to happen and educate the people about ethics. we should develop strategies for that and disengage the police now on.

Why dont you propose your bill then instead of criticising anna's bill? This is irresponsibility and I dont blame you because you are the congress leader just because of your family background not because of your accomplishment.
