Contending that people want "change", BJP today strongly batted for an "independent, impartial and effective" Lokpal and said it was of the view that the prime minister and government servants should come under its purview.
"The BJP is with the people of country. It will strongly oppose a weak Lokpal Bill of the government in the Standing Committee so that prime minister and the Government servants come within the purview of Lokpal. BJP is also in favour of Citizen's Charter," party spokesman Ravishankar Prasad told the monthly meeting of Delhi BJP.
He said the Congress government has given to the people "an insecure, helpless and corrupt India. Now, we have to change this India."
The BJP wants the conduct of MPs outside the Parliament to be under the purview of Lokpal and that the government side should not be dominant in the process of appointment of Lokpal, a release from the Delhi unit quoted Prasad as saying.
He said the public movements of BJP Delhi Pradesh and said that the work of BJP Delhi is being appreciated in entire India including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Gujarat.
The "intentions" of Congress are not clear on the issue of ending corruption from the country and appointing effective Lokpal.
"This is the reason why Lokpal Bill could not be passed since the year 1959 and corruption continued to increase at the instance of the Congress," he said.
The Delhi BJP chief Vijender Gupta said the state unit will start a signature campaign to protest against hike in power tariff on September 9.
