Ahead of the winter session of the Delhi Assembly later this week, BJP MLAs on Wednesday alleged that the AAP Government was running away from debates on issues related to the people of the city.
No immediate reaction was available from the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) over the charge. There are eight BJP MLAs in the 70-member House as against AAP's 62.
At a joint press conference here, Leader of Opposition Ramvir Singh Bidhuri alleged that the Kejriwal government in the last four years did not allow notices of the BJP legislators over issues related to Delhi.
He claimed that his party's MLAs have given notices for debates on issues like the poor condition of transportation, compensation to farmers, pollution in the Yamuna, old age pension and non-issuing of ration cards.
The winter session of the Delhi Assembly will begin on Friday. Apart from tabling revised estimates of the budget, debates on different issues are likely in the House during the two-day session.
Bidhuri highlighted issues such as the misuse of government funds in the construction of the Chief Minister's residence, manipulation in the files of the Vigilance Department, the failure of the AAP government in health and education, and the financial crisis of Delhi Transport Corporation.
