Controversy Erupts as AAP MLAs Expelled During Lieutenant Governor's Address

Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta expelled 12 AAP MLAs, including Atishi, for disrupting the Lieutenant Governor's address. Atishi accused the BJP of disrespecting BR Ambedkar by removing his portrait from the chief minister's office. The expulsion highlights ongoing tensions in the Delhi political landscape.

In a dramatic turn of events, Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta expelled 12 MLAs from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), including the Leader of Opposition Atishi, from proceedings for the day. Their expulsion was due to raising slogans during Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena's address on Tuesday.

The list of expelled AAP leaders includes prominent figures such as Gopal Rai, Veer Singh Dhingan, and Atishi herself. This move comes amid allegations by Atishi that the BJP has shown disregard for BR Ambedkar by removing his portrait from the chief minister's office.

Atishi further charged that the BJP-led administration had taken down Ambedkar's portraits in both the Delhi Secretariat and the assembly, raising questions about the political intentions behind this symbolic act. These actions have intensified the political tensions within the capital's governance.
