This is the latest draft ; which was submitted by UPA (United Progressive Alliance) government on 23 Dec 2011. On these draft basis the bill submitted in Loksabha with few modification on 27 Dec 2011 with the help of open voting in the Lok Sabha the bill was passed. The bill sent to Rajya sabha on the next day to get passed. But UPA has no majority in Rajyasabha that is why the bill could not be passed. What ever may be the case the Congress party have given a transparent way of voting on the bill. It is a great achievement of Indian constitution and an example of transparency in the system. Read the gist of the draft of the Lokpal.
