Lokayukta bill:

The Lokayukta bill also saw opposition from Mamata where she said “Why should I accept the model being offered by the Centre? I may have a stronger Lokayukta in the state. The Central government had assured us that the option of Lokayukta would be left to the states. We do not want any interference of the Centre in the Lokayukta.” “The amendment said that those states which did not want a Lokayukta could opt out. But if any state wanted a Lokayukta, then it had to follow the model given in the central bill” she further added. She also said that she spoke not only for West Bengal but also for other states, and for the federal structure of the country. Mamata had also cited a few central laws which were clashing with the interest of the states.
