The flashpoints between the government and the opposition over the Lokpal Bill have multiplied. Heading that list is the government's refusal to cede administrative control of the CBI to the Lokpal. Anna and the BJP say this signals the government's intent to influence investigations. If the CBI's budget, and the appointments and transfers of its officers are handled by the government, critics say, the agency will have limited autonomy. Team Anna also stresses that if the ombudsman has no investigative wing, its only powers lie in being able to refer complaints of corruption to the CBI, and receiving updates on them.
