'LG Not Our Headmaster', Says CM Kejriwal As Chaos Hits Day 1 Of Delhi Assembly Session

AAP took out a march against the LG while the BJP tried cornering the ruling Aam Aadmi Party on the issue of pollution in the national capital.

New Delhi: The first day of the winter session of the Delhi assembly witnessed massive chaos within minutes of its sitting as AAP MLAs marched into the well of the house and shouted slogans against Delhi LG Vinay Saxena.

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal is leading a march along with Deputy CM Manish Sisodia and AAP MLAs against LG Vinay Saxena for allegedly interfering in the government's work.

"The LG is not our headmaster to check our homework. He has to say yes or no to our proposals," PTI quoted CM Kejriwal as saying.

CM Kejriwal said that the LG did not allow to send Delhi teachers to Finland for training.

The party said that attempt is being made to defame Arvind Kejriwal and "we are not being allowed to work".

However, according to the news agency ANI, it is reiterated that the Delhi LG has not rejected the proposal for training program for Primary-in-charges in Finland. Any statement, on the contrary, is deliberately misleading and mischievously motivated, it added.

"The Government has been advised to evaluate the proposal in totality and record the cost-benefit analysis in terms of impact on the quality of education being provided to students, so as to assess the effectiveness of various foreign training programs for teachers undertaken in the past," ANI reported citing sources.

"LG has also advised examining and identifying similar training programmes in the Institutions of Excellence, within the country, so as to ensure optimal utilization of resources, fiscal prudence and administrative effectiveness," it added.

BJP's Protest

On the other hand, the BJP tried cornering the ruling Aam Aadmi Party on the national capital's pollution. In an innovative way, Delhi BJP MLAs came to the session wearing masks and carrying oxygen cylinders with them. They said that Delhi's air is 'poisonous' and CM Kejriwal is responsible for this.

The session was adjourned 10 minutes after it began due to the ruckus.

The three-day winter session of the Delhi legislative assembly began on Monday at 11 am.

MLA Vijender Gupta took to Twitter and said, "With a gas cylinder in tow, I would raise the voice of Delhi’s 2 crore people who have been forced to live in a gas chamber, in the Delhi assembly.  The AAP government must come clean on what they have done to make Delhi pollution free."

"Today, Delhi is engulfed in smoke. People are choking, getting sick and the useless AAP government is sitting like a lame duck. They have no solution, will or vision to clean Delhi’s air and river. We will raise the voice of two crore people of Delhi who have had enough of the incompetence of the AAP government," he added
