Senior Congress leaders and Rajya Sabha MPs P Chidambaram and Abhishek Singhvi have slammed anti-corruption watchdog Lokpal after it moved to acquire seven BMW luxury cars for its members. Each of these cars costs about Rs 70 lakh on-road.
Chidambaram, a former Home Minister, asked why Lokpal's chairman and its six members require BMW cars when Supreme Court judges are provided modest sedans.
