Janlokpal Bill

Edited excerpts from Milan Vaishnav's book When Crime Pays: Money and Muscle in Indian Politics

Delhi Congress will hold a week long 'Jan Jagaran Abhiyan (awareness campaign) to "expose" the AAP government in Delhi over the issues of Janlokpal and salary hike for lawmakers and ministers.

Former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and activist-lawyer Prashant Bhushan today took his fight against Arvind Kejriwal government's Janlokpal Bill to veteran activist Anna Hazare, whom the AAP had approached earlier this week.

Swaraj Abhiyan leader Yogendra Yadav today said that ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is indulging in "damage control" exercise by hinting to accept social activist Anna Hazare's suggestions on Janlokpal Bill. He said that he would "join celebrations" if the government passes the 2014 draft Bill in its entirety.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders Kumar Vishwas and Sanjay Singh today met social activist Anna Hazare to brief him on the salient features of anti-corruption legislation Janlokpal Bill tabled in Delhi Assembly by the Arvind Kejriwal government.

In a strong message to bureaucrats, Delhi government has made a provision in the proposed Janlokpal Bill under which the ombudsman will have powers to confiscate and attach properties of officials involved in corrupt acts.

Stepping up the attack on ruling AAP over the 2015 Delhi Janlokpal Bill, ousted party leader Prashant Bhushan today said "contrary to the claims" made by the Arvind Kejriwal government, the proposed legislation is "completely" different from its previous 2014 version.

Hitting back at Swaraj Abhiyan leaders Shanti Bhushan and Prashant Bhushan, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today claimed that they were opposing the Janlokpal Bill at the behest of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and asserted that the proposed legislation was similar to the one tabled by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal during his previous 49-day tenure.

Swaraj Abhiyaan leaders senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan and his father, former Law Minister Shanti Bhushan, trashed the AAP government's Lokpal Bill, describing it as 'shocking' and 'a big joke'.

Swaraj Abhiyan leader Prashant Bhushan on Friday claimed the Delhi government's new Janlokpal Bill is different from what was drafted during the Anna Hazare-led anti-corruption movement, as the appointment and removal of an independent ombudsman will now be done by the state government.

Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal today claimed that the party is not in the race for 2019 elections and asked its members to not run after polls even as he indicated that the party could get a Delhi-like opportunity in Punjab.

Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare has in his latest blog said the government has "a gang of four" that are bent on harassing the activists who work closest with him. " Every member of 'Team Anna' had to face accusations and character assassination by the 'gang of four'. Who are these people? Those are the very same people who are not in favour ...

Anna Hazare's Blog: I will be issuing an appeal to the people not to cast their vote for the forthcoming legislative assembly elections to be held in five states along with Uttar Pradesh if the government does not pass the Janlokpal Bill in the Parliaments Winter session.

Lokpal Bill row: On Day 10 of his hunger strike, Anna Hazare declared at his protest camp on Thursday evening in Delhi what could persuade him to end his fast against corruption.

Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray has appealed to Anna Hazare to give up his fast since it has succeeded in "awakening the nation and rattling the government". In a letter to Mr Hazare on Wednesday, Mr Thackeray said that there was no need for him to stop the anti-corruption agitation but only end the fast in view of his failing health.
