The four-day Monsoon session of Delhi Assembly is going to start on Tuesday with the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) planning to corner the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government over several issues, including what it claimed were unfulfilled poll promises of the ruling party.
The Arvind Kejriwal Government will also re-introduce three Bills in this session which were earlier sent back by the Centre with some objections. The decision of re-introducing these Bills was taken in a Cabinet meeting on Saturday, which was chaired by the Chief Minister himself.
The Minimum Wages (Delhi) Amendment Bill, 2015, The Delhi (Right of Citizen to Time Bound Delivery of Services) Amendment Bill, 2015 and NSIT Bill (amendment) were among the 14 Bills passed by the House, but the Centre had sent back most of the proposed legislations.
last month, Kejriwal had directed the law department to submit a "way forward" roadmap on legislative Bills which are awaiting clearance from the Centre.
Meanwhile, the BJP, which has four MlAs in the 70-member House, said its legislators would take on the Government on what it called its "U-turn" on promises made to the people and "repression" of the Opposition. leader of Opposition in the Assembly Vijender Gupta has alleged that the Government was adopting "unconstitutional measures" and "repressing" the Opposition as well as senior Government officials. He also said he would also raise the issue of House committees and questioned their way of functioning.
On Monday, Gupta said he will move an Adjournment Motion in Delhi Assembly on the unfortunate deaths of sanitation workers in lajpat Nargar.
