The Budget session of Delhi Assembly began on a stormy note on Tuesday with BJP MLA from Vishwas Nagar O. P. Sharma charging towards Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, leading to his expulsion from the House.
Mr. Sharma vociferously sought an explanation from Mr. Kejriwal on the allegations against two of his former Law Ministers — Jitendra Singh Tomar, who is now behind bars for submitting alleged fake degrees, and Somnath Bharti, who has been accused of domestic violence. He was evicted from the House after he repeatedly tried to disrupt proceedings and walked up to the Mr. Kejriwal over Mr. Tomar’s degrees.
Leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta questioned whether corruption was still a priority for the CM. Mr. Kejriwal, after a brief adjournment, acceded to the Opposition’s demand in the interests of the proper functioning of the House.
