TDP Chief demands to induct PM in proposed Lokpal bill
Hyderabad, June 24 (UNI) Telugu Desam Party President (TDP) Chief N Chandrababu Naidu has demanded to bring Prime Minister Manmohan Singh under the ambit of the proposed Lokpal bill.
Addressing at a press conference here yesterday, Mr Naidu said, "There is nothing wrong in bringing the Prime Minister under the Lokpal's purview as the civil society's demand in this regard was justified".
"We will discuss the issue in the party and firm up an opinion," he said, adding that the time had come to build a corruption-free India.
"There is a lot of hope among people that the time has come to put a full-stop to corruption. It's a now-or-never situation as India is at a transformation stage. We all should now fight for economic freedom and this is the right time," the former Chief Minister observed.
The demand for setting up Lokpal was 40-year old and none should be exempt from this, he pointed out and said things have come to such a pass only because of the former's inaction and the Congress' indifference.
The Congress is not acting against corruption only to protect its political vested interests, he alleged and added this is resulting in the growth of political mafia which is dictating terms to the government, he said.
