January 03, 2012 15:16

The Centre should talk to all political parties before arriving at a consensus on the Lokpal Bill, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today said
and stuck to her stand that it should be left to the states to set up Lokayauktas on models they choose.

"We think that the Lokpal should be made on the basis of consensus and that the Centre should talk to all parties in this regard. All parties support the Lokpal. But let it be left to states to decide what model they should choose for the Lokayuktas," Banerjee said at the state secretariat in Kolkata.
