Delhi Assembly's First Session: New Leadership, Old Battles

The first session of the newly formed Delhi Assembly starts on February 24, with BJP MLA Vijender Gupta likely to be the speaker. The session will see 14 pending CAG reports tabled, detailing the performance of the previous AAP government. The BJP emerged victorious in the recent polls, dominating 48 of 70 seats.

Delhi's newly constituted Assembly is set to commence its inaugural session on Monday, February 24. Over three days, including February 27, significant matters are on the agenda, such as the presentation of 14 pending Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) reports from the previous AAP administration.

BJP MLA Vijender Gupta is anticipated to assume the role of Speaker for the 8th Delhi Assembly, having served as the leader of opposition in the preceding Assembly. Meanwhile, party MLA Arvinder Singh Lovely is expected to act as the Pro-tem Speaker, facilitating the swearing-in ceremony.

As the dust settles after the BJP's sweeping victory over AAP in the recent elections, claiming 48 out of 70 seats, key discussions will ensue. The BJP aims to expose alleged hindrances by AAP concerning the CAG reports, accusing the prior government of corruption.
