BJP leader Harsh Vardhan Friday said his party was committed to the Jan Lokpal bill.

"I want to tell (Chief Minister) Arvind Kejriwal that we want the Jan Lokpal bill more than you do. AAP has been saying all 'netas' are against the bill," said Vardhan, leader of the opposition in the house.

"The media knows more about the bill than we do. Don't paint the BJP as a party against Lokpal. We are committed to it," he said.

The Bharatiya Janata Party leader said Delhi's first Lokayukta bill was tabled 20 years ago.
