Lokpal's Luxury List: 7 BMWs for Anti-Corruption Watchdog

The Lokpal of India, established as a beacon against corruption following Anna Hazare’s 2011 movement, has now raised eyebrows by floating a tender for seven luxury BMW cars, each costing over Rs. 70 lakh. Intended for the chairperson and senior officials, the tender has sparked criticism, with many questioning the optics of a corruption watchdog seeking such high-end vehicles. Once created to hold the corrupt accountable, the institution now appears to prioritize comfort over its austere image, prompting debates about propriety, governance, and public trust.
