Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Friday hit out at the Narendra Modi government for not bringing in the Jan Lokpal, and asked how long will it lie.

"Beet gaye chaar saal, Nahi aaya Lokpal, Janta puche ek sawaal, Kabtak bajaoge jhuti taal (Four years have passed, Lokpal has not been implemented, People ask one question, till when will you play the rhythm of lies).," said Gandhi on Twitter in a poetic dig at the government.

"Are the 'defenders of democracy' and 'harbingers of accountability' listening? #FindingLokpal," he added attaching a December 18, 2013 tweet of then Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, saying: "Am very proud of the positive and proactive role played by BJP MPs under the leadership of @SushmaSwarajbjp and @Arunjaitley in passing Lokpal Bill."
