Bangalore: To inspire public confidence in their own public vigilance commissioner, the next Lokayukta should be a Supreme court Justice(like N.Santosh Hegde earlier), said Governor H.R.Bharadwaj who emphasized the significance of a Lok Pal and Lokayukta these days. He wanted a wise choice to be made, to effective in work.

There is no dearth of good people in Karnataka, but choices are made in a bad way, he observed, while disapproving both names doing rounds as contenders for the vacant post.

While Sodhi has a job in SEBI tribunal, Bannurmath is a chief Justice in Kerala. The Governor plumped for someone from the supreme court, without naming him or her, but no one really asked him for his preferences either.
