First session of newly formed Delhi Assembly concludes

The first session of the newly formed Delhi Assembly concluded yesterday. A total of five sittings were held during this session which started on the 24th of the last month. During this session, newly elected members took oaths including discussions on various important subjects.

On the first day of the session, all 70 MLAs including the newly appointed Chief Minister of Delhi Rekha Gupta took oath. BJP MLA Vijender Gupta was unanimously elected as the Speaker of the Assembly. Further, the second day of the session witnessed the address of Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena. During the proceedings, 21 MLAs of the Aam Aadmi Party were suspended for 3 days due to creating disruption and their unruly behavior. After the Lieutenant Governor’s speech, the



much-discussed CAG report on the excise policy of the previous Aam Aadmi Party was presented in the House. 

In this report, a revenue loss of more than two thousand crore rupees to the government was reported. Apart from this, during this session, the CAG report on health services during the previous regime was also presented in the House. During this session of the newly formed government, Mohan Singh Bisht was appointed Deputy Speaker of the Legislative Assembly. During the session, the Aam Aadmi Party created a ruckus in the House by accusing the Chief Minister’s office of removing the pictures of Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar and Bhagat Singh. However, the BJP completely rejected this allegation.
