All three major anti-corruption bills—Lokpal, Judicial Accountability and Protection of Whistleblowers—could not be passed in the Winter Session of Parliament as the government was not able to muster support from its allies and the Opposition.
While the Lokpal Bill met with an anti-climax at midnight in the Rajya Sabha after passage from the lower house, the protection of the whistleblower bill could not even be taken up in the upper house.
