New Delhi: The fight for the Jan Lokpal bill, yet seems to be stand-stiil,even though after making its way to the Parliament, the Aam Aadmi Party has rejected the bill in its present form and hinted at making it an electoral issue.
Senior social activist Anna Hazare has welcomed the government move and announced that he would end his fast at Ralegan Siddhi in Ahmednagar district soon after the bill is passed. His fast entered the sixth day on Monday, December 16.
However, Kejriwal is not happy. He has expressed his disappointment over Hazare’s willingness to accept the bill, and said the amended Lokpal Bill was “weak and ineffective.”
Meanwhile, the passing of the bill has now become a three-way fight with Congress saying that the party wants to pass it and the BJP hitting out at Congress for taking credit for the Lokpal Bill.
