Stressing that Delhi Assembly is seen as a role model for the aam aadmi which constitutes of young first-time MlAs, lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan on Tuesday advised Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to work in tandem with Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a better functioning of the AAP Government-led Delhi Assembly.
“The PM as well as the CM both have come for the first time to their respective houses. Both have the newness and they must maintain a balance between them. The votes we get from people is their faith that they repose in the politicians and hence fulfilling the faith is very important,” Mahajan said.
Asking MlAs to maintain decorum in the house, Mahajan added that, “One must keep in mind that there is a difference between giving speeches in a protest and while speaking in the Assembly. When you speak in the assembly, you are speaking against your own Government.”
The lok Sabha speaker stressed on the fact that Delhi Government constitutes of young and first-time MlAs, therefore, they should be careful while formulating laws in the capital. “Delhi Assembly is a role model for the aam aadmi,” she said.
Mahajan also advised the opposition MlAs should contribute to Delhi assembly by asking relevant questions before passing a law is passed. She also asked them to pick issues in the Assembly for Delhi’s betterment.
Mahajan was speaking after inaugurating the two-day orientation programme for the members of the Delhi Assembly. All the MlAs were in attendance along with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal who was the Guest of Honour at the inaugural ceremony. CM Kejriwal and Deputy CM Manish Sisodia also launched the Twitter and Facebook page of Delhi Assembly to provide a social platform for public opinion.
