High drama was witnessed in the Delhi Assembly on the first day of the Budget session with the Opposition trying to corner the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government over former law minister Jitendra Singh Tomar's alleged fake law degrees. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal launched a counter-attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government at the Centre on the row surrounding former Indian Premier League chief Lalit Modi.
BJP MLA O P Sharma was evicted from the House after he tried to disrupt proceedings and walked up to the chief minister over the Tomar row.
As soon as the House met, three BJP MLAs forcefully raised the issue of Tomar's arrest and sought a detailed discussion on the matter, which was rejected by Speaker Ram Niwas Goel.
