The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will file complaints of corruption against the Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Rafale fighter jets multi crore scam and Sahara Birla diaries with the soon to be appointed India's first Lokpal, senior party leader Gopal Rai said on Monday.

Rai said that the appointment of anti-corruption ombudsman Lokpal, marks the culmination of eight years of unprecedented struggle by the people of India, which forced the successive central governments to finally bow before them and provide a Lokpal to the country.

Rai said that there are questions that why it took five years for the 'chowkidaar' to appoint a Lokpal. It is a matter of shame for the prime minister that it took him this long for its appointment, he added.

"It was the first of its kind struggle led by Anna Hazare, which first brought the issue of Lokpal to the Centre stage in 2011, finally leading to its appointment with active intervention of the Supreme Court of India," Rai said.

Accusing both the Bharatiya Janta Party at centre and the Congress for resisting the move to appoint Lokpal in order to prevent investigations of corruption cases, he said that the decision to appoint Lokpal is taken after sensing the mood of the country.

Rai asked why it took five years for the government to appoint the Lokpal. "With big proclamations of 'Na Khaunga Na Khaane Doonga' why did it take the Modi government five years to appoint a Lokpal, which they had promised before 2014 elections," he said

The name of former Supreme Court judge Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose is said to be in active consideration for appointment as the chief of country's first Lokpal, the anti-corruption ombudsman, officials had said Sunday.

His name for the post is understood to have been in active consideration by the Lokpal selection panel headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, officials had said.
