Team Anna’s Lokpal draft would soon have a rival from another section of civil society and could be more accommodating for the government.  The National Campaign for People’s Right to Information (NCPRI), an umbrella body of RTI activists including members of Team Anna Arvind Kejriwal and Pras hant Bhushan, will come up a comprehensive package on tackling corruption including a lokpal bill.

"A sub-group is finalizing a lokpal bill draft along with others measures to deal with corruption," said Venkatesh Nayak, co-convener of NCPRI, adding that it was difficult to agree with everything what Team Anna did after April 2011.

The decision to draft a parallel civil society Lokpal Bill was taken after Team Anna did not include any of NCPRI’s suggestions in the Jan Lokpal Bill placed before the joint drafting committee in April. The drafting committee failed to reach any agreement this week. 

Ouch, till Yesterday there were dissensions between the Team-UPA and Team-Anna, now there are dissensions within Team-Anna!
