Congress today termed as "very unfortunate" the BJP's protest over the appointment of Lokayukta in Gujarat. "What they (BJP) are demanding in Delhi, they are opposing in Gujarat. It is very unfortunate," Congress spokesperson Rashid Alvi said outside Parliament. 

The Lok Sabha was today adjourned till 3pm after BJP MPs created uproar over the "undemocratic" appointment of Lokayukta in Gujarat by Governor Kamla Beniwal. 

The BJP has maintained that the Lokayukta was appointed by the Governor without consulting Chief Minister Narendra Modi. Congress MP JP Aggarwal said, "First they (BJP) said Lokayukta should be appointed.  When Lokayukta was appointed, they are opposing and saying it is an attack on the federal structure. They should not have disrupted the House."
