Congress-ruled states to have Lokpal-like law

Congress-ruled states will enact Lokayukta legislations on the lines of Centre's Lokpal by February-end, a resolve aimed at positioning the party strongly in the fight against corruption. The 12 states will put CMs and ministers under the ambit of the anti-graft ombudsman, and will empower investigating agencies with prosecution wings under them, free of the control of the law ministry.
