The NCP (SP) criticized Lokpal for its plan to purchase seven BMW cars, viewed as misuse of public funds. Party spokesperson Clyde Crasto demanded accountability from the President and the ruling BJP, highlighting the irony of an anti-corruption body indulging in such expenses.

The NCP (SP) has raised questions about the anti-graft body Lokpal's decision to buy seven high-end BMW cars, with party spokesperson Clyde Crasto branding it a 'loot' of taxpayers' money.

In a public statement on X, Crasto urged the President, responsible for appointing Lokpal members, to demand an explanation for the proposed purchase.

Critics pointed out the irony of the anti-corruption watchdog opting for luxury vehicles, a move seen as contradictory to its purpose. Crasto called for the BJP-led government to address this significant issue immediately.
