The Narendra Modi Government on Tuesday introduced a new Lokayukta Bill in the Assembly which curtails the primacy of the Governor and Chief Justice of the High Court in appointment of the anti-corruption ombudsman in Gujarat.
The Lokayukta Aayog Bill, 2013, which was introduced two years after Governor Kamala Beniwal returned an amendment Bill, proposes to give all the powers of the appointment to a selection committee headed by the Chief Minister and wants the Governor to act on its recommendations.
The Chief Justice virtually has no role under the new Bill.
