Dehra Dun/Haridwar: Launching its campaign in five poll-bound states, the Team Anna today sought to be even-handed by targeting the Centre, BJP, BSP for bringing a "toothless" Lokpal Bill which is like a "dead body strewn with flowers". Addressing rallies, Arvind Kejriwal said the Centre did not want to bring CBI under the net of Lokpal and criticized political parties, including Congress and BJP, for their role in bringing a "weak" bill in Parliament.

"Be it BJP or BSP, all these parties tried to pass a weak Lokpal bill in the Lok Sabha", Kejriwal said. He praised the Lokayukta Bill brought by BJP government in Uttarakhand and said all BJP-ruled states must follow suit. Kejriwal asked the people to vote for candidates with clean image and reject those involved in corruption.
