Bhubaneswar, May 12: Activist Arvind Kejriwal today came down heavily on the Odisha government for facilitating the transfer of land from farmers to corporate houses.

Addressing a meeting in the city, he said: “I am told that 26 out of 30 reports of the Lokpal have not been presented before the Assembly, let alone any action taken against the corrupt. Investigation report against Vedanta is one such report.”

Kejriwal said the central government was likely to bring another weak Lokpal bill, on which there was a near consensus of all political parties.

“If a strong Lokpal bill does not come, the India against Corruption will launch nation-wide campaign, making three broad demands. First, the Jan Lokpal bill should be brought and passed. Second, any bill introduced in the Parliament and Assemblies should first be referred to the gram sabhas and maholla sabhas for taking people’s opinion. And the loot of land of the poor farmers by the corporate should stop. Land can be transferred only after written agreements by the farmers,” he said.
