BJP has the hidden agenda of blocking Lokpal: Congress
February 05, 2014
The Congress today came down heavily on the BJP over its protest against the appointment of a jurist to the Lokpal selection panel, saying the Opposition party has a"hidden agenda" of blocking the constitution of Lokpal itself and hence is using such "lame duck excuses".
"The BJP is attempting to block the appointment of a Lokpal by its lame duck excuses. The decision of the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj to oppose the appointment of eminent jurist P P Rao on the selection panel for Lokpal on purely flimsy grounds and by levelling baseless allegations with political motives exposes the hidden agenda of the BJP," party spokesperson Randeep Surjewala told reporters.
