The Arvind Kejriwal Government has decided to convene a two-day special session of the Delhi Assembly from June 9 to discuss several issues concerning public including “sanitation” in the city due to “lax functioning” of the three civic agencies.
The issue of Statehood to Delhi is also expected for discussion.
Also, the Assembly will elect Deputy Speaker of the Vidhan Sabha which is vacant after resignation of Bandana Kumari from the post of Deputy Speaker. The decision has been taken at a Cabinet meeting on Friday.
“Del Assembly session next week to discuss how BJP’s MCD has made whole of Del into a garbage bin due to its corruption n mismanagement (sic),” Kejriwal tweeted.
The Chief Minister also said the Delhi Government has done “commendable job” in preventing dengue, adding that BJP-led municipal corporations need to “improve its functioning”.
There are reports that the city may have to face dengue and water logging problem during monsoon season as desilting of drains are still to be completed.
On the other hand, the opposition BJP stated that the AAP Government has decided to convene special session to shift blame on the MCD and Centre for failing to desilt drains.
According to sources, Speaker Ram Niwas Goel may administrate oath to AAP MlA Rakhi Birla as Deputy Speaker of the House. The party has formalised her name as a replacement for Bandana Kumari who resigned on Saturday.
