Swaraj Abhiyaan leaders and senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan trashed the AAP government’s Lokpal Bill, describing it as ‘a big joke’.

The AAP government’s bill is will not create an independent agency, he cautioned. He said Kejriwal does not intend to give the people “an honest, transparent Lokpal” and claimed that the original bill has been significantly diluted and made less effective.
