Bihar govt gives nod to tabling of Lokayukta Bill

Modi said the chief minister and other cabinet colleagues would come under the ambit of the Lokayukta. "This bill has been enacted under the legislative competence of the House which should not go for presidential assent," he claimed.

Official sources said the draft of the bill which had come under flak from Team Anna, which had alleged that the proposed legislation by the Nitish Kumar government was not near to the one framed by Uttarakhand. "We have a thorough and transparent system of selection of those who will set up and appoint the members of the Lokayukta," Modi said.
