Another AAP-Centre face-off is imminent!

January 22, 2014 09:16

The standoff between the AAP government and the Union Home Ministry over the conduct of Delhi Police may qualify at best as a temporary truce. With Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal fast-tracking a new Lokpal Bill for Delhi '" it is to be in place by February '" the two governments may soon lock horns again since the Bill first requires clearance from the Home Ministry.

The AAP government aims to repeal the Delhi Lokayukta Act and replace it with a Bill modelled on their own Jan Lokpal Bill for the Centre. The Bill envisages a Lokpal or Lokayukta heading the anti-corruption wing in Delhi with powers to tap phones, conduct surveillance and independent inquires.
