Govt coming around to considering Gujarat Lokayukta's removal?

New Delhi, Sep 5 - Government seems to be coming around to considering BJP's demand for removal of Gujarat Lokayukta who was appointed by the Governor without taking the Narendra Modi government into confidence. After disrupting Parliament for the third consecutive day today over the "unconstitutional" appointment of R A Mehta as Lokayukta by Governor Kamla Beniwal, BJP has alleged that Mehta is an activist who has spoken often against the Modi government. Sources said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has himself conveyed to BJP Parliamentary Party Chief L K Advani, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj and her Rajya Sabha counterpart Arun Jaitley that the government is mulling over removing Mehta from the Lokayukta post.
