Govt vows to bring Lokpal in budget session

Putting up a brave front after it failed to muster the numbers in the Rajya Sabha, the United Progressive Alliance government yesterday said the Lokpal Bill will “definitely” be brought before the Rajya Sabha during the budget session.
“Definitely we will bring it in March in the Budget session...we have to study the 187 amendments brought by Opposition parties as most are overlapping,” Minister of State for Personnel V Narayanasamy said here.
He said after going through the amendments, the government will take a call on what to accept and what to reject and get back to the Opposition parties.
