Delhi Assembly Session Live Updates: Assembly session extended by two days till March 3
The BJP is committed to rooting out corruption in Delhi and has performed the constitutional duty and our commitment to the people of Delhi and the CAG report has been placed on the table. You saw this bizarre spectacle of 'AAPda' MLAs disrupting the House to prevent the CAG report. Just by delaying or by trying to prevent a CAG report from being laid on the table, they can not hide from the people of Delhi the massive corruption which has come out.

Tensions flared in the Assembly as Gupta suspended 12 AAP MLAs, including Leader of Opposition Atishi and Gopal Rai, amid protests during the Lieutenant Governor’s address.
Meanwhile, BJP leaders, including Parvesh Verma and Mohan Singh Bisht, claimed the CAG report would expose AAP’s financial mismanagement. The BJP-led Delhi government is set to present 14 CAG reports, highlighting alleged irregularities under AAP rule.
Leader of Opposition Atishi and 11 Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs were suspended from the Delhi assembly on Tuesday after a heated protest over allegations that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had replaced a portrait of Dr BR Ambedkar with that of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the chief minister’s office.Following their suspension, Atishi and other AAP leaders staged a protest outside the Delhi assembly. Atishi accused the BJP of disrespecting Dr B.R. Ambedkar and vowed to continue the demonstration until portrait was reinstated. "Is PM Modi bigger than Dr B.R. Ambedkar? We will not stop protesting until Babasaheb's portrait is restored," she said.

BJP has always respected Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar and Bhagat Singh and their photos are there in the CM office. This House will not function with 'might is right' attitude. This House will function as per the rules and regulations. The CAG report is to be tabled and Kejriwal, Somnath Bharti will soon be in jail.
BJP MLA Satish Upadhyay
My government, in its first Cabinet meeting, decided to table the CAG reports. This will wave way to know and remove the administrative deficiency of the last government. Corruption-free governance, women empowerment, clean Delhi, rejuvenation of Yamuna, clean drinking water will be focus areas of government in the coming months.
Delhi LG VK Saxena
I want to ask her, who is the creator of the Constitution? Baba Saheb Ambedkar has written in it that the head of the government is the President and the executive head is the Prime Minister. They have insulted Baba Saheb. To date, in their 11 years, they have neither put up the photo of the Prime Minister nor the President. Now they are trying to teach us a lesson. All of us know that Baba Saheb and Bhagat Singh's photos are there, but lying is the character of AAP.
Delhi BJP President Virendraa Sachdeva
Arvind Kejriwal has been out of power due to corruption, criminal mindset, intention to deceive. BJP has come to power due to the intention of development, PM Modi's guarantee. PM Modi has become a symbol of trust. The CAG report which Arvind Kejriwal had withheld will be presented in the Delhi Assembly.

The CAG report will expose the blatant corruption of Arvind Kejriwal led AAP-da party. It is in the interests of justice that the money of the taxpayers of Delhi which was looted by Arvind Kejriwal for his personal corruption should be returned to the people of Delhi. Knowing that his corruption will be exposed in front of the public of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal's 'AAP-da' party is rattled. Those who started their political career flagging the CAG report in every corner of the country will be exposed today with the same CAG report which enlists the corruption of 'AAP-da' and Arvind Kejriwal.

The inaugural session of the newly elected legislature commenced on Monday, with the members taking oath of office in a variety of languages. The legislators chose to affirm themselves in Hindi, English, Sanskrit, Urdu, Maithili, and Punjabi using six different languages, reflecting the multicultural character of Delhi Assembly. The proceedings signified a transition of BJP members from the opposition benches to the treasury seats on the right side of the Speaker’s chair after 27 years. Prior to the commencement of the session, BJP member Arvinder Singh Lovely, the most experienced among the 70 MLAs, was sworn in as pro-tem Speaker by lieutenant governor VK Saxena at Raj Niwas.
Read moreChief minister Rekha Gupta Monday dismissed allegations by leader of the opposition Atishi that photographs of Dr Ambedkar and Bhagat Singh had been removed from the CM’s office and replaced with those of PM Modi and the President. “Should the photo of the head of govt not be put up? Should the photo of the President of the country not be put up? Should the photo of Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation, not be put up?” said Gupta. Claiming AAP was using “diversionary tactics”, she alleged, “They are trying to hide their corruption and misdeeds behind Babasaheb Ambedkar and Shaheed Bhagat Singh.”
Read moreLeader of the opposition in Delhi Assembly Atishi on Monday accused BJP of having an "anti-Dalit and anti-Sikh mindset". Sharing photographs at a press conference, Atishi said, "This picture is from three months ago, when I was serving as CM in the Delhi Vidhan Sabha office, where the portraits of Babasaheb Ambedkar and Bhagat Singh were displayed. However, during lunch break, when we went to meet CM Rekha Gupta in her office, we saw that these portraits had been removed." Attacking BJP, the former CM said, "Everyone knows the party has always been against Dalits and Sikhs. Today, they have openly demonstrated their deep-seated prejudice before the entire nation. It is shameful the party has replaced their pictures with those of PM Modi and revealed its anti-Dalit and anti-Sikh face."

Before proceedings began, BJP member Arvinder Singh Lovely, the most senior among the 70 MLAs, was sworn in as pro-tem Speaker by Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena at Raj Niwas.
Chief minister Rekha Gupta was the first to take the oath, followed by Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma and Ashish Sood, who oversee the PWD and Home portfolios, respectively. Environment minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa took his oath in Punjabi, while Law Minister Kapil Mishra chose Sanskrit for his affirmation.
The House was briefly adjourned for 15 minutes amid sloganeering, as AAP MLAs accused the BJP of being "anti-dalit and anti-Sikh" for removing the portraits of Dr. BR Ambedkar and Shaheed Bhagat Singh from the premises.
In the February 5 Assembly elections, the BJP secured a decisive victory, winning 48 out of 70 seats and bringing an end to the Aam Aadmi Party’s decade-long rule, as AAP managed to secure only 22 seats.
In a unanimous decision, AAP MLAs elected former Chief Minister Atishi as the leader of their legislative body, making her the Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly.
