Modi has taken the Gujarat
Governor Kamla Beniwal head on
the Lokayukta Act. He has tabled a
bill to amend the Lokayukta Act
which curtails the powers of the
Governor in the appointment of the
Lokayukta. The Governor would be
left with no choice than to sign
unless she wants to take Modi by
the horn. According to the bill,
now a government appointed panel
would take a final decision on the
Lokayukta. Beniwal had earlier
appointed Lokayukta Justice R A
Mehta, without consulting the chief
minister. Event the Supreme Court
had upheld the appointment.
