Battle over Jan Lokpal bill in Delhi assembly
- 5 years ago
Arvind Kejriwal today tabled his anti-corruption Jan Lokpal Bill in the Delhi assembly, defying a warning by Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung that the bill does not have his consent. The bill was introduced amid loud protests by the Congress and the BJP, who demanded a vote on Mr Jung's dissent note.
The Congress, which provides external support to the Aam Aadmi Party, and the opposition BJP called for a vote on the Lieutenant Governor's letter to the Speaker, which had made it clear that if the government tables the Jan Lokpal Bill, it will be unconstitutional.
Waving copies of the Lieutenant Governor's letter, lawmakers of the Congress and the BJP refused AAP's proposal that the letter be discussed. "Why are you running away from a discussion?" said the Chief Minister angrily.
