AAP government is expected to table the draft Bill in Delhi Assembly on Monday.
New Delhi:
Attacking Arvind Kejriwal Government over its Jan Lokpal Bill, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today alleged that it is the "biggest treachery" with the people of Delhi who had given the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) a huge mandate.
"Delhi Jan Lokpal Bill, 2015, is AAP government's biggest treachery played on the people of Delhi. The government has deceived the huge mandate on which it rode to power, by diluting the power of the Jan Lokpal and making it a political appointment in its draft bill," Leader of Opposition in Assembly Vijender Gupta said.
AAP government is expected to table the draft Bill in Delhi Assembly on Monday.
Alleging that the draft Bill has "done away with" role of Lt Governor and the President, he added that more "shocking" is the process to remove the Jan Lokpal.
"According to the draft Jan Lokpal Bill, the power to remove the ombudsman has been given to the House that can pass the motion in the Assembly with two-thirds majority, ensuring that the office of the Jan Lokpal remains at the beck and call of its political masters," he said.
Mr Gupta accused AAP government of "provoking" a situation of "confrontation" with the Centre by bringing its ministers and officials in the ambit of Jan Lokpal.
"Continuing with their tradition of provoking situation of confrontation with the Centre to show themselves as the hapless victims, the provision to bring its ministers and officials in the ambit of the Jan Lokpal has been added in the draft Bill," he said.
