The special session of the Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly, which resumes tomorrow, is expected to be stormy over the tabling of the new Lokayukta Bill.
The opposition BJP may create disruptions over the state's move to pass a new Loayukta bill on the lines of the Centre's Lokayukta Bill, rejecting the one introduced by the previous BJP government.
Leader of opposition in the Assembly Ajay Bhatt said before the new bill is passed the state government will have to answer why the earlier Lokayukta bill was not implemented.
He alleged by not passing the old bill, the government had given four months' time to the corrupt people to cover their tracks.
Congress government will have to answer these questions in the House, he said.
The first day of the session was adjourned after Governor Aziz Qureshi's address, amid din by BJP members on January 13.
