Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan said he had received the letter written by anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare,which seeks introduction of Lokayukta bill in the state legislature.

“I got the letter late in the evening (yesterday). I will reply to it soon,” Chavan told reporters today.

Hazare has said in the letter that if the state government does not bring in a strong Lokayukta bill in the winter session,he would launch a fast.

Hazare,whose 12-day fast last month for Lokpal bill hogged global limelight,has also said that the Lokayukta should get more powers under the proposed state law.
