Will go to any extent for Jan Lokpal bill: Kejriwal

The Hindu  

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday threatened to “go to any extent” over the Jan Lokpal bill, which is opposed both by the Congress, whose continued support is essential for the survival of his government, as well as the BJP. Asserting that both the Congress and the BJP will never allow passage of the bill, Mr. Kejriwal said since the government has decided to probe the alleged corruption in Commonwealth Games projects, Congress’ “pitch” has become more “shrill” in this regard and also there are allegations against the BJP, which is in power in MCD for past seven years. Mr. Kejriwal also said, “We have written to Home Minister to withdraw the order which directs Delhi government to take approval of the ministry before passage of any bill in the Assembly” and asserted that the city government cannot follow these “unconstitutional rules”. “We have written to Home Minister to withdraw the order which directs Delhi government to take approval of the Ministry before passage of any bill in the Assembly,” he said.
