Modi govt in Guj wants to keep Lokayukta in its clutches: Sibal

October 29, 2013 15:12

Law Minister Kapil Sibal today slammed BJP for adopting "double standards" in dealing with corruption, saying the Narendra Modi government in Gujarat is trying to keep the proposed state Lokayukta in its "clutches".

Sibal's remarks came days after the Gujarat Assembly passed a new Lokayukta bill establishing the primacy of the Chief Minister and the government in the appointment of the anti-corruption watchdog.

"BJP has a double face. They want something else for their state and something different for the central government. In Gujarat, it is completely opposite from what they propose for central government. This clearly shows their double standards in politics," Sibal said.
