Trinamool Reiterates Demand For Deletion Of Lokayukta Provision

As government scrambles for numbers to pass Lokpal Bill in Rajya Sabha, ally Trinamool Congress today mounted pressure on it by insisting that it will move amendment to delete the provision for setting up Lokayuktas at the state level.

Trinamool Congress, which has six members in the Rajya Sabha, said they will “strongly” oppose the provision and want the deletion of Part III of The Lokpal and Lokayukta Bill, 2011 which deals with setting up of Lokayuktas at state level.
