NEW DELHI: Accusing the BJP-led Government of “hypocrisy” and “doublespeak” on Lokpal appointment, the Congress today said the NDA is dragging its feet on the issue as it does not want accountability.
Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said the present Government is not appointing the Lokpal on the basis of “frivolous, flimsy and trivialised excuses” even while the act is in place since January 2014.
He also accused the Government of lack of sincerity on the issue.
“The bill is there for 36 months. I want to ask you and I want you to ask anybody whether the small little finger been wagged to operationalise, to implement the Lokpal in any which way. The Government does not want Lokpal because it does not want accountability,” he told reporters.
“This is a history which must be remembered because these are deliberate hypocrisies, these are deliberate double speaks. These are lack of sincerity. This is fooling the public,” Singhvi also said. (AGENCIES)
