The three-day session of the Delhi Assembly begins today, February 24. This session is historic as the BJP will sit in power in the Assembly after 27 years. Following the recent election results, this is the first session under the BJP government in the national capital. The political scenario inside the Assembly will be quite different, as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which ruled Delhi for the past decade, will now sit in the opposition. AAP has chosen Atishi as the Leader of the Opposition in the House.
On the first day, all 70 newly elected MLAs will take their oath, and the Speaker of the Delhi Assembly will be elected. BJP’s Vijender Gupta has filed his nomination for the Speaker’s post. On the second day, February 25, Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena will address the House, followed by the presentation of 14 pending CAG reports from the previous AAP government. To oversee the session, Gandhi Nagar MLA Arvinder Singh Lovely has been appointed as the Protem Speaker.
The session will commence at 11 AM, marking the beginning of a new legislative term. This session is expected to be significant as it sets the tone for the BJP’s governance in Delhi.
