The government's version of the anti-graft Lokpal bill is a "jokepal", the bill's drafting committee member Arvind Kejriwal said on Thursday.

"The bill that the government is bringing is not a Lokpal bill, it is a jokepal bill," an irked Kejriwal said at a press conference Thursday, a day after talks between the civil society members and government representatives ended without a consensus on key issues.


Kejriwal said the meetings held so far were a "drama".
"Government has already formed a bill and it is going to bulldoze its own bill. Whatever meetings we have done so far, were only a drama," he said.
