Congress, BJP oppose AAP's 'hasty' move to push Jan Lokpal Bill

New Delhi:  Congress and BJP today questioned Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) led Delhi Government's “hasty” move to push for passage of Jan Lokpal Bill in the Assembly and said the legislation needs to be brought

He said a letter has been written today by him to Kejriwal, pledging his party's support to AAP on the basis of 18 points agenda by the Delhi Chief Minister.  

Delhi BJP leader Harshavardhan said he would give support to Jan Lokpal Bill if it is brought following proper rules.  “We are for eradicating corruption from the country.  

There is no question of opposing any anti-corruption bill. It should be brought in following laid down rules,” he said and questioned “hasty” move by Kejriwal.  

Lt Governor Najeeb Jung today advised the Delhi Assembly Speaker against allowing tabling of the Jan Lokpal Bill by the Aam Aadmi Party government.

However, AAP maintained that it will not “revisit” the issue.

Protest by Congress and BJP MLAs, seeking discussion against Bharti yesterday had marred the first day of the Assembly session.

Bharti has been in the eye of the storm for carrying out controversial midnight raid last month in South Delhi's Khirki Extension area, alleging drug trafficking and sex racket by some of African nationals living there.  

The four-day assembly session has been called by Delhi Government for passing of contentious Jan Lokpal and Swaraj Bills.

Kejriwal had last night renewed his threat of resigning if the proposed legislation was defeated by Congress and BJP.
