The Monsoon session of Delhi Assembly starting on Monday is likely to be a stormy affair with the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) planning to raise the issues of alleged bus procurement scam and demands of cancelling the voter cards of the foreign nationals living in the city after detecting them.
The session is scheduled from August 6 to August 10. The 70-member House is dominated by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), whereas the Opposition benches are occupied by only four BJP MlAs.
leader of Opposition in the Assembly, Vijender Gupta said that the BJP MlAs would also raise the “falsehood” of Government on honouring women, as he accused Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot of “humiliating” a senior woman IAS officer during a meeting.
He also said that the Opposition leaders would also raise the issue of development works stalled in more than 1700 unauthorised colonies “We will also question the Government on the issues like opening of aam aadmi canteens, 500 new schools and cleaning Yamuna River.
Meanwhile, the ruling AAP seeks to target the BJP-ruled civic bodies over the dog and monkey bite menace besides installation of CCTV cameras and implementation of an IIT-Delhi report to overcome water-logging in the city.
AAP spokesperson and MlA Saurabh Bhardwaj said party legislators will raise the issues of CCTV camera project and doorstep delivery of ration during the session.
The ruling party is also expected to discuss the alleged “misinformation” given by IAS officers to media and courts, thereby “defaming” the committees of the Assembly.AAP legislators may also seek to attack the bureaucrats trying to boycott meetings of the Assembly committees. Private member resolutions on dog and monkey bite menace in the city will be the other issues which will be raised in the session, Bhardwaj said.
