President not keen on Rahul's anti-graft ordinances

March 01, 2014 22:55

CNN-IBN reports: President Pranab Mukherjee has reportedly expressed reservations over the government's plan to push through Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi's pet anti-corruption Bills via ordinance route.

The President is believed to have expressed his reservations on the proposals when Law Minister Kapil Sibal met him on Saturday.

In the run to the Lok Sabha elections, the Bills assume huge significance in order to change Congress's image and to portray Rahul as an anti-corruption crusader.

The Cabinet is likely to meet on Sunday evening and sources said that a decision on the ordinances would be finalised then.

On Friday, the Congress Core Group was divided on the ordinance route to pass the legislations.
