New Delhi: The leader of opposition in Delhi assembly Atishi on Monday said that the microphone of AAP legislators was turned off after they raised the issue of Rs 2500 payout for women in the House and added they were subsequently “thrown out.”
The Kalkaji MLA pointed out that lakhs of rupees are spent daily to run the House and reminded the BJP of its commitment to delivering on the work front rather than always abusing Arvind Kejriwal.
Speaking with the media Atishi said, “The House runs on tax money. Lakhs of rupees are spent every day to run the House… They (BJP) only want to abuse AAP and Arvind Kejriwal and nothing else… I want to tell the BJP that the people of Delhi have elected you not to abuse but to work… As soon as we raised the issue of Rs 2500 in the House, the Speaker, BJP MLAs immediately got furious, switched off our mikes and we were thrown out.”
“BJP has no intention of giving Rs 2500 per month to the Women of Delhi, ” she claimed.
Meanwhile, Delhi Minister Ashish Sood on Monday slammed the Aam Aadmi Party’s government’s handling of the city’s health and power infrastructure, claiming that while Delhi faced critical shortages of oxygen and healthcare services, the government focused on constructing “Sheesh Mahal.”
“With every page of the CAG report, more and more scams of the AAP government are coming to light. When the people of Delhi needed oxygen, when they needed Mohalla clinics, the Delhi government was busy constructing their Sheesh Mahal. The High Court and the CAG have made serious allegations about their ‘mohalla clinics’ and the so-called health model. All MLAs will have a detailed discussion on this today,” Sood told reporters.
