New Delhi, Aug 27: Union Minister and former Maharashtra chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh on Saturday conveyed the "sense of the house", including in-principle agreement on the three key demands of Anna Hazare on the Lokpal bill, to the fasting activist at Ramlila Maidan.
Both houses of Parliament, after daylong discussions, adopted the sense of the house accepting the three demands of civil society, namely a citizens' charter, creation of Lok Ayuktas in the states and inclusion of lower bureaucracy in Lokpal's ambit.
But the soldier-turned-activist warned that only half the battle had been won in the fight for a corruption free India.
"We have won only half the battle, we are yet to win the full battle," he said, addressing the gathering after cabinet minister Vilasrao Deshmukh gave him a letter from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
