TOI Poll gives thumbs down to governments Lokpal Bill
NEW DELHI: On Monday, Team Anna released the results of a referendum carried out by it on the Lokpal Bill in the constituency of HRD minister Kapil Sibal, Chandni Chowk. An overwhelming 85% of respondents, they claimed, preferred the Jan Lokpal Bill - or the one drafted by civil society members - to the government version.
Hogwash, said the Congress, claiming that the referendum was done only among BJP supporters in Chandni Chowk. Sibal himself was dripping sarcasm - he thanked Team Anna for not giving itself a 100% in favour. TOI decided to find out whether the referendum really reflected the popular mood and decided to do a poll itself on the net.
And the results were stunningly similar to Team Annas referendum. As many as 24,499 netizens responded to the poll and there was near unanimity that the PM, MPs, the judiciary and all levels of the bureaucracy should be under the purview of the proposed Lokpal.
