Rahul’s idea fails like Rajiv Gandhi’s Panchayati Raj Bill
In a strange coincidence, Rahul Gandhi’s idea of conferring Constitutional status on Lokpal failed in the LS much like his father Rajiv Gandhi’s Panchayati Raj Bill 22 years ago.
A BJP MP sought to strike an ominous note of coincidence claiming that Government of the day was not lucky whenever the Lokpal Bill was taken up and on occasions, the Lok Sabha was also dissolved.
The Constitution (116th Amendment) Bill to confer Constitutional status on Lokpal was defeated in the Lok Sabha late on Tuesday night by a determined Opposition, helped by the absence of parties supporting the Government from outside like SP, BSP and RJD.
It was a repeat of the scenes in the RS in 1989 when the Opposition combined to defeat the statute amendment Bill to confer Constitutional status to Panchayat Raj institutions.
