Lokpal Bill to come up in Rajya Sabha on Dec 13: Kamal Nath

His colleague Naresh Agarwal, however, said "government has lost the trust of the people so it should not bring any bill in the House".

Supporting the measure, JD(U) leader K C Tyagi said the party is in favour of setting up Lokpal.

"Anna has written to Nitish Kumar on Lokpal. We are in favour of an effective, transparent Lokpal. We will not oppose it but we will definitely give suggestion."
NCP leader D P Tripathy said, "We are for passing the Lokpal in the current session. Once it is passed in the Rajya Sabha then it will go to the Lok Sabha."

Asked how it will be possible since the session is going to end soon, he said, "The session is scheduled to continue till December 20 and there is no proposal yet to adjourn it before that."
