Parliamentary affairs minister Pawan Bansal on Friday put the blame for non passage of the Lokpal Bill in the Rajya Sabha on the BJP saying that they had choreographed the murder of democracy. Bansal said that the BJP never wanted the Lokpal Bill to be passed and they acted last night in a particular manner keeping in mind the upcoming state elections
Bansal said that now the bill will be brought in the coming Budget session of the parliament. He said the bill is not dead and we will bring it in the budget session of the parliament.
Trying to defend the Congress amid the onslaught by the opposition and allies, Bansal said that in any case the bill would have to be brought in the Budget session if it was passed with the amendments as now the House would have met only for that purpose.
Bansal said that the time that the government will now get before bringing back the lokpal bill will be utilised in studying the amendments which were brought last night as many of them were overlapping.
