NEW DELHI, Apr 15:
Breaking his silence on Janlokpal Bill, after opposition attack that there has been no mention of the Jan Lokpal Bill since AAP came back to power for the second time in Delhi, AAP supremo and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said he has started working on the Bill.
”Started working on Janlokpal Bill,” Mr Kejriwal said on social networking site Twitter. Mr Kejriwal, who resigned as Delhi CM after his first tenure of 49 days as he was not allowed to introduce the Jan Lokpal Bill in the state Assembly, has come under repeated criticism from the Opposition that there has been no mention of the Bill after he came to power for the second time with a huge majority of 67 seats in the 70- member Assembly.
AAP leaders have earlier said that the new Jan Lokpal Bill will most likely be tabled before the Assembly. During his last tenure as CM, Mr Kejriwal resigned after he could not secure passage of the Janlokpal Bill, a pet project of AAP, in the state Assembly. In the 70-member Assembly, 42 MLAs, including 32 from BJP, eight from Congress, one from Janata Dal (United) and an independent, had opposed the Bill. While resigning from the post, he had blamed BJP and Congress and claimed that introducing Jan Lokpal was his priority. (UNI)
