To provide a transparent administration, the government should come forward to set up a Lokayukta immediately without waiting for the amendments in Parliament, Mr. Stalin said.
According to the Lokpal 2013 Bill, the States can establish a Lokayukta on their own and there was no need for Parliamentary amendment. The Lokayukta should have powers to try all categories of public servants, including the Chief Minister, he said.
White Paper
Mr. Stalin also demanded a White Paper on investments and progress made in the MoUs signed at the Global Investors Meet as the Chief Minister had said that the State had attracted Rs 2.42 lakh crore of investments during the event. M.C. Sampath, Industries Minister, assured him that there will not be any lapse as there is continuity in the government.
