Delhi Assembly LIVE Updates: The three-day winter session of the Delhi Legislative Assembly started on Monday on a tumultuous note as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) faced off, days after the parties tussled during the mayoral election of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).
The house was adjourned after protest by AAP MLAs against Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena’s alleged interference in the working of the city government. The house saw repeated adjournments and barely 10 minutes of proceedings could be held.
Latest Updates:
- LG VK Saxena should not “behave like a headmaster” checking students’ homework, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Monday as AAP MLAs protested against the L-G’s alleged interference in the workings of the government.
- Kejriwal also asked L-GVK Saxena to give in writing that he had never rejected the proposal for sending government teachers for training to Finland as the two sides continued to lock horns over the matter.
- Earlier in the day, Kejriwal along with Deputy CM Manish Sisodia and AAP MLAs had led a march to the L-G’s office to protest against the issue of teacher training in Finland. The LG’s office, however, asserted that it has not rejected the proposal but has advised the AAP government to evaluate it in totality.
