Leader of Opposition Shaktisinh Gohil’s Straight questions to CM Modi

  • If your governance is corruption free why are you shying away and scared of appointing a lokayukta ?
  • How can YOU appoint a person to probe allegations against you and your Government ? This decision smacks of your authoritarianism. Your damage control exercise of you appointing a person to probe against you is your futile attempt to fool the people of Gujarat. Why shoud YOU appoint a person of your choice and shy away from appointing a Lokayukta ?
  • Why have you not been appointing Lokayukta since seven and half years ?
  • The Lokayukta Act does not stipulate you any authority or power to consullt or confer regarding the Lokayukta appointment. Why are you spreading canards about your role and how the leader of Opposition is not extending co operation to you ?
  • On one hand you extend support to Shri Anna ji for Lokpal and on other side you are deliberately delaying Lokayukta appointment. Why such typical hypocrisy and duality ?
  • Why are you scared of appointing Lokayukta? Are you pettrified that your nexus with certan industrialist/s whom the Karnataka Lokayukta has name and suggested blacklisting but whom you have doled out extra ordinary favours will be exposed ?
  • R. A. Mehta’s name for Lokayukta has been suggested by Hon Chief Justice of Gujarat High Court, given consent by me and forwarded to you by Hon Governor. Why are you sitting on the file and not issuing notification ?
  • Justice R. A. Mehta is a close associate of Shri Anna and Annaji spent his night at his residence. Why are you not appointing Shri R. A. Mehta as Lokayukta after his name has been cleared by all required authorities ?
  • Stop your shallow rhetoric and fake cover up and appoint a Lokayukta in Gujarat immediately.
  • I also challenge you for a public meeting or a common press conference to discuss the Lokayukta issue.
