The Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri on Monday alleged that the BJP MLAs were again unconstitutionally thrown out by marshals and expelled for the whole day from the Assembly session.
Addressing the media, Bidhuri said that the Delhi Government has completely indulged in corruption, and it is scared to even discuss these issues. That is why the Opposition is being constantly thrown out of the House. The LoP said that all BJP MLAs will approach the President regarding this matter and this will also raise the issue of continuous misuse of the House with the Speaker of the Lok Sabha.
“The AAP Government has forgotten all the traditions and rules of democracy and is behaving in a dictatorial and arbitrary manner. The BJP MLAs were demanding a Calling Attention Motion and a short discussion on various issues under Rule-55,” he said.
“A notice of discussion was given by Vijender Gupta on classroom scam, Abhay Verma on liquor scam worth thousands of crores, Mohan Singh Bisht on crises of drinking water and Ajay Mahawar on the removal of Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and Minister Satyendar Jain from the Cabinet.
The Speaker rejected their demand for Calling Attention Motion. When the proceedings of the House started, BJP members requested the Speaker to reconsider his decision, but all the BJP MLAs were forcibly thrown out by the marshals on the order of the Speaker,” he alleged.“The Kejriwal Government is surrounded by allegations of corruption and if it is clean, then why is it running away from discussion on these issues in the Assembly. Obviously, it has no answer to these allegations.
There is no discussion on the matters of Delhi in the Assembly, no question hour, no short-term discussion is held under Rule-55, nor can the issues of its own area be raised under Rule-280,” the LoP said.
“The Delhi Government is using the Delhi Assembly only to abuse the Central Government. The issues being discussed in the Assembly have nothing to do with Delhi. Crores of rupees are being spent on the Assembly session with the amount of tax collected from the hard-earned money of the people and only the politics is being shined in it by the ruling party,” Bidhuri added.
