Ahmedabad: Justice R A Mehta, whose appointment as Gujarat Lokayukta was opposed by Narendra Modi, today declined to assume office, saying the controversy has "denigrated" the office of the anti-corruption watchdog.

A retired Gujarat High Court judge, Mehta, blasted the Modi government for calling him "biased" and "anti-government" while opposing his appointment.

A Lokayukta unwanted by the government cannot get all the necessary and timely support from it, he said in a letter to Gujarat Governor Kamla Beniwal who had appointed him, triggering a standoff with the Modi government.
