Delhi Assembly Budget Session ‘Grand FAILURE’ -  JOLLY

Delhi citizens did not benefit from the 13 days session

New Delhi, 4^th April 2013 :  Senior BJP Leader & Ex. Delhi MLA Mr. Vijay Jolly today termed the just concluded Delhi assembly budget session a grand failure. Delhi citizens did not benefit in any way from the 13 days session held from 23^rd March to 2^nd April 2013. Mere formalities were observed while conducting the budget session stated Delhi BJP Spokesman Mr. Jolly. 

Thirteen sittings were conducted according to outdated rules. Questions were posed and misleading answers were given. The Speaker seemed tilted in favor of the Congress led govt. During heated debates & uproars, the govt. did not allow the BJP Opposition MLAs to air their grievances. The vocal & sharp tongued BJP MLAs were forced by the Speaker to stay put in their seats or were bodily airlifted from the house by the assembly marshals. This was mockery of democracy at its best. But still the LOP in Delhi assembly Dr. V.K. Malhotra seemed to put the govt. on the mat on several issues claimed Mr. Jolly

There were 240 starred and 540 un-starred questions. But govt. answers were far away from truth stated BJP Spokesman Mr. Jolly. 206 supplementary questions were laced with twisted answers. Development issues was given a good bye. Govt. failed on the issue of worsening law & order in Delhi, increasing crime against women, high handedness of bureaucrats and failure to contain the rising tariff of power & water bills. On the other hand despite increasing incidents of rapes, murders, dacoities & chain snatching, Delhi Govt. vociferously defended Delhi police.  

The CAG report on the functioning of Delhi Govt. was leaked before it was presented in the assembly. But the Speaker escaped his responsibility by merely stating “This did not occur at our end. The report might have been leaked from the centre or elsewhere.”    

BJP Leader Jolly jokingly questioned – Is Delhi assembly Speaker Dr. Yoganand Shastri accusing the Congress Govt. at the centre for this leak or is just misleading the Delhi citizens by a fabricated reply ?
