Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi today said that all Congress-ruled states will enact new Lokayukta Act by February 28, 2014.
 
He announced that he does not agree with the Maharashtra government's decision to reject judicial commission's report on Adarsh scam. The report has indicted former chief minister Ashok Chavan.

His observation comes after his close confidant and union minister of state for information and communications Milind Deora demanded a fair probe.

Reiterating that there is no question of proteching any leader, Gandhi said corruption in the country can be dealt with if the bills pending in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha are cleared.
