AAP: Will adopt Lokpal at Ramlila

If voted to power, the Aam Aadmi Party will hold a special Assembly session at Ramlila Maidan on December 29 to adopt Jan Lokpal Bill as proposed by anti-graft activist Anna Hazare, its national convenor Arvind Kejriwal said in the national capital on Saturday. He said it would be a befitting reply to those MPs who have made a mockery of the bill during the Winter Session of Parliament.

If voted to power, the Aam Aadmi Party will hold a special Assembly session at Ramlila Maidan on December 29 to adopt Jan Lokpal Bill as proposed by anti-graft activist Anna Hazare, its national convenor Arvind Kejriwal said in the national capital on Saturday. He said it would be a befitting reply to those MPs who have made a mockery of the bill during the Winter Session of Parliament. Mr Kejriwal claimed, “Election dates have been announced and by December 15, we will form the government and on December 29 a special session (of the Assembly) would be called at Ramlila ground, where Anna Hazare was on 11-day long fast unto death for Janlokpal Bill, and the bill would be adopted there.” He said the Congress and the BJP are two face of the same coin as the BJP is not against Congress or Delhi CM Sheila Dikshit, but they both are campaigning against AAP. “The elections this time is going to be bipolar. But instead of Congress and BJP being the poles, this time, Congress and the BJP are one pole, while AAP is the other,” he said, adding if this is not the case then why had the BJP not protested against hike in power tariff. While addressing the media, party leader Yogendra Yadav said that it is going to be a poll of realignment and “elections in Delhi won’t be a race of two horses.” Asked if he perceives BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi’s wave as a threat, he said “let’s us see if his wave works in Delhi.” Asked whether Anna Hazare will campaign for his party and candidates, Kejriwal said he has made it clear that he is not going to campaign for him or his party.
