| Arvind Kejriwal today read out his list of 'India's most corrupt', including union ministers and leaders from all parties, and urged his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) members to treat the national election as a "revolution" to cleanse Parliament.
Mr Kejriwal's list included Congress' Rahul Gandhi, P Chidambaram and Sushil Kumar Shinde, BJP's Nitin Gadkari, Yeddyurappa and Anant Kumar, and others like Mayawati, Mulayam Singh Yadav and Sharad Pawar. "Prepare your own list," he told AAP workers, "Don't let a single corrupt politician enter Parliament in these elections."
The Chief Minister was addressing his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers on a day his cabinet is to discuss the Jan Lokpal Bill that seeks to punish corruption with a maximum sentence of life in jail.
"The Lokpal Bill that the Centre passed can't even kill a mouse, let alone end corruption," Mr Kejriwal scoffed.
Sources say the AAP's Bill seeks six months to life in jail for corrupt officials. The Lokayukta, or anti-corruption ombudsman, will reportedly have separate arms for investigation and prosecution. The Lokayukta can decide whether the accused official will be dismissed, removed or shunted out. It would also have the powers to confiscate property and assets of the accused official, say sources
