Include member of OBC category in Lokayukta panel: SP



BHUBANESWAR: A four-member delegation of the Samajwadi Party Odisha State Committee on Friday submitted a memorandum to Parliamentary Affairs Minister and Panchayatiraj Minister Kalpataru Das on Lokayukta issue.

The delegation led by party’s State unit president Rabi Behera demanded that rotation system for SC/ST/Minority and Women in Lokayukta should be made regularised.

The Lokayukta should include a member of the Other Backward Class (OBC) as they are major constituent of the State population. They also demanded the Vigilance Department should come under the Lokayukta to make it more effective to fight corruption.

The Minister assured the delegation to take a positive step in this regard. Among others, party general secretary Arun Jena, Pradeep Mohapatra and youth leader Biswajit Ray went with the delegation.
