New Delhi, Oct. 22 -- Congress MP Jairam Ramesh on Wednesday criticised the Office of Lokpal over its reported move to purchase seven BMW 330 Li (Long Wheel Base) luxury cars, saying that the anti-corruption authority was now a "shockpal".

Speaking to ANI, Ramesh questioned the actions of the Lokpal and inquired about the investigations and arrests conducted by the Lokpal.

"Lokpal is not Lokpal any longer. It is 'Shokpal' and 'Shockpal'. Anna Hazare, Arvind Kejriwal, 'India Against Corruption', and the RSS did a lot of publicity in 2012 and 2013, emphasising the importance of the Lokpal. Now just look at the actions of the Lokpal itself. Which investigations have Lokpal initiated? Which people have they arrested?" Ramesh said.
