Patna, Sep 5 (IANS) The Bihar government will bring the Lokayukta bill in the winter session of the state assembly, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said Monday.
?The state government will bring the Bihar Lokayukta Bill in the winter session of the state assembly this year and would bring the chief minister under the Lokayukta,' he said at a function here.
Nitish Kumar also hinted that the former Karnataka Lokayukta, Justice (retd) Santosh Hegde will prepare the new Bihar Lokayukta Bill.
He reiterated that the Bihar government led by him had already initiated several measures to fight against corruption. 'The Right to Service Act was enforced last month to check corruption and to provide relief to people in the state,' he said.
He claimed that Bihar has emerged as a model state in the country after his government's bid for transparency was being emulated by other states and the country and cited the example of mandatory annual declaration of assets by ministers and government employees.
I have been maintaining ever since Nitish Kumar came to power that Bihar is in the forefront in the fight against crime and corruption.
Let us hope it is made completely free of crimes and criminals will be afraid to set foot in Bihar.
If only he could relieve the trauma faced by bonafide railway passengers when their trains passed through Bihar. It is only then will people start believing him. Otherwise no amount of trumpet blowing will convince the people that there has been an to lawlessness in Bihar.
