The Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party on Tuesday staged a walk out from the Lok Sabha shortly before the voting on the Lokpal Bill in protest against the government bringing a "weak" legislation.
"We had demanded a strong Lokpal. It is not strong. It is sarkari Lokpal. There is no meaning to it. It was brought in a hurry and under Anna Hazare's pressure," SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav told reporters.
Asked why did he not protest against the bill in the House by voting against it, Yadav said, "We don't want to support the ZBharatiya Janata party."
BSP leader Dara Singh Chauhan said the party members of parliament walked out of the House in protest against Government's refusal to accept their demand of bringing the Central Bureau of Investigation under Lokpal.
Meanwhile, the clause on State Lokayukta in Lokpal Bill was amended. Stay tuned for more details.
