Oppn stages walkout in Delhi Assly over 'CAG report' issue

Leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta and BJP MLA Jagdish Pradhan today staged a walkout from the Delhi Assembly over the issue of the purported 'CAG report' not being tabled in the House.
He alleged that the AAP government was "trying to suppress the report because it severely indicts it for glaring irregularities".
In a statement, Gupta also alleged that the Comptroller and Auditor General report for 2015-16 was submitted before commencement of the current Vidhan Sabha Session.
"But it is objectionable that the government failed to take the House in confidence," he said, further alleging that the move of the government was "unconstitutional and can invite legal action."

Gupta also alleged that Delhi government "failed" to provide committed liability in respect of print and outdoor media advertisements.
Both AAP and the BJP sparred in the Assembly over the issue and the latter accused the ruling party of "unconstitutionally hiding" the purported CAG report "which exposes wastage of public money" on advertisements and demanded the House be "dissolved" over the issue.

Gupta and Pradhan later walked out of the House in protest.
Meanwhile, at a press conference today, Delhi BJP chief Satish Upadhyay also attacked the AAP government over the several issues including the suspension of a bureaucrat.
"Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia had tried to show after the suspension of Navalendra Kumar Singh that he did not know him but it is not true and Sisodia personally knows Singh since long," he alleged.

Lt Governor Najeeb Jung had suspended Singh, former OSD to the Deputy Chief Minister, and another official for allegedly handing over land meant for DUSIB to a private party.
