SP leader Ram Gopal Yadav says Lokpal will lead to more corruption

New Delhi, Dec 18: Samajwadi Party, which staged a walk-out in Lok Sabha in protest against the Lokpal Bill, on Wednesday claimed the enactment of the measure will lead to an indecisive atmosphere in the country and result in more corruption.

"Laws were enacted for women and atrocities against women increased. So this will also increase corruption," SP leaders Ram Gopal Yadav said outside Parliament.

Yadav said, "Corruption will increase further. Now no one will sign on any file or take any decision. There will be an atmosphere of indecision in the country."
