"Once upon a time, there was a king..." Haven't we all grown up listening to such stories? I don't think any of us read stories that went – "Once upon a time, there was a democracy, with elected representatives who were answerable to the people through the electoral process, the courts and the Lokpal." We know the first line well. We don't know how it works in the second line at all. Therein lies the problem in pushing through the Lokpal Bill.
