Started working on Jan Lokpal Bill, tweets Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal

New Delhi: Even as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) continues to face internal turmoil, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday took to Twitter to announce that he has started working on the Jan Lokpal Bill.

Kejriwal took to Twitter to confirm the developments and tweeted, “Started working on Jan Lokpal Bill”.

His statement comes after opposition parties targeted AAP chief stating that there has been no mention of the Jan Lokpal Bill since his party came back to power for the second time in Delhi.

After winning a huge mandate to rule Delhi, the AAP leaders had reportedly announced that the new Jan Lokpal Bill will most likely be tabled before the Assembly.

Kejriwal's first tenure as Delhi CM lasted for 49 days since he resigned claiming that he was not allowed to introduce the Jan Lokpal Bill in the state Assembly.

In the 70-member Assembly, 42 MLAs, including 32 from BJP, eight from Congress, one Janata Dal (United) and an independent, had opposed the bill.

While resigning from the post, he had blamed Bharatiya Janata Party and Congress and claimed that introducing Jan Lokpal was his priority.

This time, there are only three BJP MLAs in the opposition in the state Assembly.
