BJP Legislators were marshaled out of Delhi Assembly after they raised the issue of alleged discrimination in distribution of funds for development works in areas represented by them, said BJP MLA Vijender Gupta on Tuesday. He alleged that the AAP Government has murdered democracy not only in the Assembly but also outside of it by practicing partiality in disbursement of funds.
During the Assembly session at the Vidhan Sabha on Tuesday, MLAs Gupta and OP Sharma had raised the issue and the BJP MLA presented facts on disbursement of funds meant for installation of CCTV cameras in all Assembly constituencies in the House. He said that the Delhi Government has spent Rs 400 crore for procurement of 1,40,000 CCTV cameras.“In every constituency, it spent Rs 5.71 crore for procuring 2,000 CCTV cameras. However, the PWD Minister has not given permission to install 16,000 CCTV cameras meant for eight Assembly constituencies that have elected BJP MLAs as their representatives,” he said.
Gupta said that every MLA has been given the prerogative to decide the location for the installation of the CCTVs in consultation with the residents. However, this right has been snatched away from the BJP representatives.
Instead of answering Opposition questions, the Government is suppressing their voices by marshalling them out, he added.
“The BJP MLAs will meet Lieutenant-Governor of Delhi regarding systematic discrimination being practiced by the AAP government and would stage a dharna if it refuses to mend its way and continue to trample upon rights of people of Delhi,’ he further added.
