In a dramatic turn of events, Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta suspended 12 AAP MLAs, including Opposition Leader Atishi and MLA Gopal Rai, after they disrupted proceedings ahead of the tabling of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report.
As soon as the Lieutenant Governor (LG) began his address, the AAP MLAs started raising slogans, creating a chaotic environment within the Assembly.
Prior to the LG’s speech, they had also chanted “Jai Bhim” slogans, an act that contributed to their suspension from the House.
The protests escalated as the MLAs, demanding accountability, refused to allow the Assembly to function smoothly.
After their suspension, the AAP MLAs continued their protest outside the Assembly.
They raised slogans against the Delhi government and carried posters of Babasaheb Ambedkar, further escalating the standoff.
Their protest took on a symbolic tone as they invoked the memory of Ambedkar, revered as the architect of the Indian Constitution, to draw attention to their cause.
The BJP-led Delhi government is preparing to present 14 CAG reports, expecting to highlight alleged financial discrepancies during the previous AAP government’s tenure, coinciding with the protest.
The opposition MLAs used this moment to reiterate their call for accountability and transparency from the government.
Delhi BJP leaders, including Virendraa Sachdeva and Parvesh Verma, were quick to react to the developments, expressing their confidence that the CAG reports would unveil significant financial mismanagement during the AAP’s governance.
Verma, in particular, criticized the AAP government for allegedly exploiting the taxpayers of Delhi.
He went on to claim that the people of Delhi had been taken advantage of, with their hard-earned money being squandered through corruption.
He stated that the CAG reports would clearly expose the extent of the AAP’s wrongdoings.
The BJP has been using these reports as a political tool to hold AAP accountable for alleged corruption, setting the stage for a heated political showdown.
The BJP’s decision to present the CAG reports is seen as a critical move in its strategy to hold the AAP accountable for its financial actions during its tenure.
With 12 AAP MLAs suspended and protests still ongoing, the political tension in Delhi continues to build. Both the AAP and BJP are bracing for the fallout from the CAG report revelations.
The AAP will challenge the reports and defend its record, while the BJP will highlight allegations of corruption and portray itself as a champion of transparency and good governance.
In the coming weeks, as the Assembly discusses the reports, both parties will prepare for the public revelations and attempt to sway public opinion in their favor, intensifying the political landscape of Delhi.
