Dikshit said he was in "complete" unison with Hazare's team on its demand for having Lokayuktas in states, framing Citizen's Charters for all government departments and including the lower bureaucracy in the ambit of Lokpal.

Speaking in the Lok Sabha, he suggested that the central government can send a model Lokpal bill to states so that they create their Lokpals.

On framing Citizen's Charter, he said the government was trying to include this also in the anti-corruption mechanism.

On bringing the lower bureaucracy under the ambit of the watchdog, Dikshit said this was important as this where the common man connects with the government.
