On Monday, BJP legislators in Delhi assembly demanded a motion calling attention and a short discussion on various issues including the CVC report flagging irregularities in construction of the classrooms and alleged irregularities in the excise policy in 2021-22.
They were marshaled out from the Delhi assembly before Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal could bring his ‘confidence motion’.
The BJP MLAs walked into the well of the house when their demands were not met leading to an uproar.
Leader of opposition Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, later spoke to the media and said that the MLAs were unconstitutionally thrown out by marshals and expelled for the whole day from the assembly session.
“The Kejriwal government is involved in corruption, and they are scared to even discuss these issues. That is why the opposition is being constantly thrown out of the house. The AAP govt is behaving in a dictatorial and authoritative way. All BJP MLAs will now approach the President regarding this matter and we will also raise the issue of continuous misuse of the house with the Speaker of the Lok Sabha,” said Bidhuri in Delhi assembly premises surrounded by fellow BJP lawmakers.
BJP legislator Vijender Gupta had given notice of discussion in assembly ranging from liquor scam to calls for removal of deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia and Satyender Jain.
“The deputy speaker rejected their demand for calling attention to the motion. When the session of the house started, BJP members requested the speaker to reconsider the decision and allow the motion, but all the BJP MLAs were forcibly thrown out by the marshals on the order of the deputy speaker,” Bidhuri said.
The BJP MLAs are thinking of requesting the Lok Sabha speaker to make it a rule that there must be at least three sessions of the legislative assembly in Delhi in a whole year and their duration should not be less than 10 days.
“Right now, only one-day-long sessions are being held and only the central government is being criticized in it, nothing is being talked about on the issues of the people of Delhi,” Bidhuri fumed
