Now many would question the legality of prior approval of Lt. Governor, just like the way AAP is doing, then tell me if they are so much against taking prior approval from Lt. Governor, then why did they take prior approval of Lt. Governor before passing the Money Bill? Why this differential treatment? I would like to ask this question to all AAP supporters; @sandy_3126 @rubyjackass @Coltsfan @Guynextdoor2 @Prometheus Why AAP took prior approval of Lt. Governor for the Money Bill but not for the Janlokpal? @Indo-guy You may ask this question to Kejriwal. @scorpionx What is your opinion about AAP?
.
Intent of BJP and Congress was clear on lokpal bill three years ago. If both parties had any intent of passing a strong anti graft bill, there would be no need for existence of AAP.
Money bill is purely financial bill, and the LG himself discussed the bill in the meeting with the cabinet and had no disagreement thus approved it.
Delhi doesn't have full statehood, in case it did, Lokpal bill would't have needed finance ministry's approval in case of LG disagreement.
Both congress and BJP are in favor of full state hood for delhi, but not in all the powers of full statehod. As a citizen i see this as a preemptive action based on the spirit of all three major parties in delhi.
Even if the LG recommended that bill should not be introduced (not passed); the bill could have been introduced in the assembly, discussed passed, and then before enactment would need the aproval of parliament.
AAP was not going to be able to bring it into the books, without the president's approval in case LG's and finance minister opposition.
The question is if LG has endorsed the bill from day one, there would be no need for approval from the center, now the LG said he wasn't presented the bill in time for him to read it..... Lieutenant General of Delhi, remains oblivious to the most important and contentious bill that caused the collapse of 15 year reign of congress CM, and brought in power debutant political party. The LG couldn't spare 30 mins in last two months to read the lokpal bill.
At the end of the AAP did a simple calculation, Congress and BJP wont let them reform the system, the process it self will implicate congress and BJP leaders, thus it makes sense to go back to elections, get majority and rerun the bill.
Now if people agree , AAP will succeed, If people like me are oblivious to something that is very evident to you, then I will be proved wrong and BJP or congress will come into power.
But my understanding is if AAP LOKPAL is replicated through out in the country, Sonia and company will be in exile in Italy, Half of UPA will be behind bars, 20% of bureucracy will lose thier jobs, there will be no SP and BSP, Sharad pawar and co will be in jail, joined by karunanidi, jayalalitha, lalu....
I would vote for that silver lining!
