RPI demands dalit, adivasi members in Lokpal Bill drafting panel

Demanding the inclusion of two members of the dalit and adivasi
communities in the Jan Lokpal Bill drafting committee, the Republican
Party of India today said a letter has been sent to the prime minister
in this regard.

"I want two representatives of dalit and adivasi communities in the
Jan Lokpal Bill drafting committee and have written in this regard to
Manmohan Singh and the committee president Pranab Mukherjee," RPI
chief Ramdas Athawale said.

Taking pot-shots at Baba Ramdev, Athawale said anti-corruption
crusader Anna Hazare should not take support of the yoga guru as "he
has amassed huge amount of black money".

"Hazare should not take support of Ramdev and film actors as they have
amassed huge amount of black money," he said.

On RPI's electoral prospects in Uttar Pradesh, Athawale said the
party's organisation base was in place in all the districts and it
would contest all 403 seats in the state polls, due next year.

"We will go it alone, as of now," he said.
