 "Don't take ordinance route for anti-corruption bills: JD(U) warns UPA")
Kolkata: Janata Dal (United) today warned the UPA government not to take the ordinance route on anti-corruption bills before the Lok Sabha elections and urged President Pranab Mukherjee not to give assent if the government went ahead. “When the Election Commission is to issue notification in a day or two, taking the ordinance route is not only unconstitutional, but also bribing the electorate on the eve of the poll,” JD(U) Secretary General and spokesman K C Tyagi told PTI here.
