UPA gives up ordinance for anti-graft move

Date:

New Delhi: The UPA government will not invoke ordinances to bring to effect the anti-graft bills. The Congress Core Group, in a late evening meeting, reportedly decided not to go for ordinances.  

The government was unsure whether President Pranab Mukherjee would give his nod to the ordinances. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will meet President Mukherjee before flying out to Myanmar, but sources said the government is unlikely to pursue the matter further.

A massive political backlash was expected if the bills were pushed through ordinances, as a government, which has entered its last lap, conventionally, leaves the fate of such bills to be decided by the next government.
