Miffed by the repeated efforts to derail the Lok Pal Bill drafting committee by some vested interests, the Karnataka Lokayuktha chief, justice N Santhosh Hegde is contemplating to quit as member of the Lokpal Bill drafting committee. Another thing that prompted Mr. Hegde to think of stepping down is Congress senior leader Mr. Digvijay Singh's remarks that he (Hegde) is doing nothing in cases against Karnataka chief minister B S Yeddyurappa.
Referring to the remarks by the Congress leader, Mr Digvijay Singh, against him, Justice Hegde said a section of a political party and some civil society representatives were behind the conspiracy to derail the bill. "This group of politicians, civil society people and even officials, first targeted Mr Anna Hazare, later the Bhushans and Mr Arvind Kejriwal. Now a politician criticizes me for not doing anything in cases against Mr B.S. Yeddyurappa. I am sure Mr Digvijay Singh is aware all cases against the CM are stayed by the high court. This is a clear conspiracy to derail the drafting committee," said Justice Hegde.
