 "Harsh Vardhan says BJP backs Jan Lokpal bill")
BJP leader Harsh Vardhan Friday said his party was committed to the Jan Lokpal bill.
"I want to tell (Chief Minister) Arvind Kejriwal that we want the Jan Lokpal bill more than you do. AAP has been saying all 'netas' are against the bill," said Vardhan, leader of the opposition in the house.

The Bharatiya Janata Party leader said Delhi's first Lokayukta bill was tabled 20 years ago.
