Reacting to Singh's remarks, former IPS officer and activist Kiran Bedi said that politicians should declare their assets before becoming ministers and after ceasing to be one and, if the difference was found to be huge, the matter should be probed.
Noted lawyer and Aam Aadmi Party member Prashant Bhushan said Chaudhary's remarks were "absolutely correct" and noted that politics had become an easy route for many to make money.
A few months back, Singh had started a controversy when he claimed that there were people who were ready to shell out up to Rs 100 crore to get a Rajya Sabha seat.
