Accusing the BJP-controlled civic bodies of turning the city into a “garbage bin” due to their “lax functioning”, the AAP government on Friday decided to convene a two-day special session of the Delhi Assembly next week to discuss various issues, including lack of cleanliness. The special session will begin on June 9.
The decision was taken at a Cabinet meeting chaired by chief minister Arvind Kejriwal at the Delhi Secretariat.
“The Delhi Assembly session next week to discuss how BJP’s MCD has made whole of Delhi into a garbage bin due to its corruption and mismanagement (sic),” Mr Kejriwal tweeted.
The chief minister claimed his government has done a “commendable job” in preventing the outbreak of dengue in the national capital and said the BJP-led municipal corporations of East, North and South Delhi need to “improve their functioning”. The move comes at a time when the AAP is gearing up for elections to the three civic bodies to be held next year.
In the recent bypolls to the 13 wards, the AAP made a debut by winning five seats, while the Congress managed to win five seats and the BJP three.
During the two-day session, Speaker of the Delhi Assembly Ram Niwas Goel may administrate oath of office to AAP MLA Rakhi Birla as deputy speaker of the House. The AAP has formalised her name as successor to Bandana Kumari.
