A day after being marshalled out from the special session of the Delhi Assembly, BJP MLAs held a mock House sitting on Saturday and slammed the AAP Government over the alleged liquor "scam".
The mock assembly session was held at the Ambedkar International Centre during which BJP members wore masks to impersonate Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia and other ruling party MLAs.
Former MLA Barkha Singh played the role of speaker in this mock assembly session. The members also raised the problems of their locality under Rule-280. They were also given a chance to express their point of view in a sarcastic way.
During the mock session, the MLAs took turn to ask questions and slam the Kejriwal government over the alleged liquor "scam", which they could not do in the House on Friday.
They asked why Kejriwal government withdrew it's excise policy after a CBI probe was recommended by the Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena."The Kejriwal government did not open a single school or hospital in entire East Delhi but dotted it with liquor stores everywhere," charged Rohtas Nagar MLA Jitendra Mahajan.
Opposition Chief Whip Ajay Mahawar said Sisodia had claimed that the new excise policy 2021-22 will earn Rs 9,500 crore but it failed to match even Rs 6000 crore it had earned under old regime.
"Kejriwal who took his MLAs to Rajghat which is Mahatma Gandhi's memorial saying he followed in his footsteps yet he is turning Delhi into liquor city, " Mahawar said.
Apart from this, the education model of Kejriwal government was also discussed in the mock session. Initiating the discussion, Anil Bajpai said that when the BJP delegation visited the schools for reality check about the government claims, it was found that instead of the classrooms, only toilets have been made. Om Prakash Sharma also called the education model an eyewash.
Vijender Gupta, taking part in the discussion, also laid on the Table of the House the 34-page report of the CVC, which states that there is a huge fraud in the classrooms built in Delhi schools.
Vijender Gupta told that 2526 rooms and 160 toilets were to be built in 207 schools, but when the tender was floated, it was for the construction of 8089 classrooms. 160 toilets were made but they were paid for by converting them into 1214 rooms.
The tender was for Rs 860 crore, but the payment was made for Rs 1350 crore. When the CVC sent this report to the Secretary, Vigilance, Delhi Government, he kept the report on hold for two and a half years. Now the Lieutenant Governor has asked the reason in this regard.
Leader of Opposition Ramvir Singh Bidhuri who along with his party colleagues had tried to raise the issue of irregularities in the excise policy during the special session on Friday before being marshalled out, said revenue of the government dipped under the new policy.
"This is their policy in which they were going to open five schools to teach youngsters and women about drinking liquor, even though Kejriwal government has failed to open even a single college in its eight-year rule in Delhi," Bidhuri charged.
Bidhuri slammed the Delhi government's claim that Delhi's education model is the best. He exposed the government with many figures and arguments
The one day special session has been extended and the House will reconvene on Monday in which Kejriwal government will seek a Trust vote.
