NEW DELHI: BJP MLAs on Tuesday wore black clothes and turbans to the Delhi Assembly to protest against alleged scams and corruption of the Aam Aadmi Party government and demanded that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal quit from the post.
BJP member Ajay Mahawar alleged corruption in the buying of buses, excise policy and the working of the Delhi Jal Board. He alleged that the "dishonest" government of Kejriwal is shielding Manish Sisodia, who is "accused of gross corruption", whereas one of his ministers, Satyendar Jain, is in jail on corruption charges.
This is the 2nd day of the 3-day session of the assembly that began yesterday.
"We oppose Delhi's dishonest government. This government is primarily engaged in corruption, including fraud in the construction of classrooms, buses, and liquor laws. The chief minister should quit. We demand that he be expunged. To express our protest against this corrupt government, we are dressed in black "Vijender Gupta, a BJP MLA.
The House was repeatedly adjourned on Monday, with just ten minutes of proceedings taking place on the first day of the session, as a result of protests by AAP MLAs over the alleged meddling in city government business by Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena.
