Lokpal Bill: BJP to Boycott All-party Meeting ?

New Delhi, Jun 30: In a significant development, BJP's national president Nitin Gadkari has reportedly said that the BJP may skip the all-party meeting called by the government in New Delhi on July 3.

Civil society member Anna Hazare had already met L K Advani and discussed the Lokpal Bill draft just two days ago. But on Thursday June 30, Gadkari's statement has come as a shock to the government, as yesterday, while meeting the editors of print media, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had said that the BJP being the main opposition party has not been supporting the government.

Rejecting the PM's claim, Gadkari said that the BJP has always supported the government constructively, and helped to pass several bills in the parliament. He termed the Prime Minister's statement as 'shocking'.

"Now why does UPA want our support for the Lokpal Bill? The government was not bothered about holding dicusssions with us while constituting the civil society and choosing the government representatives. Now the issue has reached its peak, and the government is scared and seeks our support to wriggle out of the problem," Gadkari said.

On the other hand, BJP is keeping mum on whether the Prime Minister should be brought under the ambit of the Lokpal bill or not.

"We are calling NDA meeting soon, and will confirm whether BJP and its allies will participate in the all-party meeting or skip it," Gadkari said.

    Sad to read that people have insufficient information about the All Party Meeting. This meeting is been called to get a go ahead with the proposed lokpal bill that has been drafted by UPA, not the bill that has the suggestion from civil society. It is very right that the opposition party is putting this pressure on the UPA to draft the bill from scratch with input from all parties including civil society. A leader like Nitish Kumar or Narendra Modi will face no threat with the lokpal bill coming inot force. And someone like Gadkari has nothing to bother at all as he has never been in a central minister position. When he wsa PWD minister in Maharashtra he is still being remembered for the good works with the roads, flyovers and the Mumbai Pune expressway.

    Dear mr. nagesh nayak Bangalore,

    The fundamental organizations have made Ramdev to sideline.
    Tell me why Ramdev wanted to wear salvar kahamees and what about that shameless women, who rented her salvar khamees.
    Secondly, patriotism is known while bjp bought our loyal soldiers coffins on commission.
    George Fernandes was given clean chit by the enquiry commission which shows patriotic people were fully involved in commission. Where is patriotism of these cowards Mr. Nagesh Nayak I hope you are also colluded in the commission with the stolen coffins for yourself.
    Italian led UPA is doing its best to curb corruption and corrupt people. But this Gadkari is protecting mr. yeddyurappa and Reddys. Majority of Hindus are supporting Italian born Indian citizen Sonia Gandhiji and sushma swaraj is dancing like a kotewaali at Rajghat.
    Know the truth mr. nagesh nayak
    COME OUT FROM THE WELL

    IT IS A GOOD NEWS. BJP NEED NOT ATTEND THE MEETING. MEETING CAN TAKE PLACE EVEN WITHOUT BJP. BJP ARE THE MAIN TROUBLE MAKERS WHO IS SUPPORTING ANNA BY GIVING HIM IN CRORES. SO WHEN BJP ITSELF IS CORRUPT WHAT IS THE LOGIC IN ATTENDING THE MEETING ?

    BJP KNOWS ONLY TO CRITICISE THE GOVERNMENT OUTSIDE THE PARLIMENT. INSIDE THE PARLIMENT THEY HAVE NO BATTERY. SUSHMA IS gOOD ONLY FOR DANCING ON GANDHI'S SAMADHI WITH PATRIOTIC SONGS.   SHE IS GOOD TO SUPOORT THE CORRUPT REDDY BROS AS THEIR STEP MOTHER.

    BJP's excuses and initial reactions are what it need exactly for the proposed effective JANALOKPAL BILL.If Janlokpal Bill passed in the parliament the first untouched most corrupt causalities would be Govt of Karnataka and Yeddy !!!

    All politicians sans party affiliation do not want an effective Janlokapal Bill to be formulated @ any cost.Therefore Anna Hazare need not consult political parties instead educate the voters organizing rallies and interacting with them.Those against or non co operative parties would be taught a lesson in general election for sure.Meanwhile BJP's double std once again exposed.Any good wishes to BJP by it's hardcore supporters???????What are the justification any way???

    This shows BJP's double standards-  They create so much noise & when it comes to a stage where they too need to contribute in carrying the burden of forming the Lokpal Bill-they are running away.
    It shows they too don't want the Bill, they only want to project UPA as unwilling to stop corruption, but wants to protect its corrupt once this bill gets passed- it is difficult to protect Yeddy or Reddy or its Navratna Rulers from inquiry. As courts cannot stay the proceedings as in Karnataka.

    BJP's action shows that they too are corupt and dishonest party, just as their counterpart.BJP or any party who doesn't support the Lokpal has no moral right to contest the elections.
