BJP leaders protest against the AAP government’s failure in tabling an auditor report on the liquor scam.
New Delhi:
The Delhi High Court pulled up the Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi government over a delay in placing before the Assembly Speaker a report by the Comptroller Auditor General (CAG) on the liquor scam, which resulted in the arrests of former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and senior leader Manish Sisodia.
“The way you’ve been dragging your feet is something unfortunate. You should’ve been prompt in sending it (reports) to the speaker and having a discussion at the floor of the assembly,” the court told the Delhi government.
The court also posted a plea by BJP MLAs, including Vijender Gupta, seeking a special session of the Delhi Assembly for later today, but also said, “We are at a stage that the elections are around the corner. How can there be a special session now?”
