Delhi Assembly Special Session: Confidence Vote for CM Atishi and Pollution Action Plan Discussed
Delhi Minister Gopal Rai attended a special two-day session of the Delhi Assembly. The first agenda was to seek a vote of confidence in Atishi, who recently took charge as Delhi’s Chief Minister.
Gopal Rai stated, “A discussion will be held on the current issues relating to Delhi. After the new cabinet under Atishi ji has taken charge, the new government will move vote of confidence in the House.”
Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj mentioned that issues like the illegal felling of trees in the Ridge and the removal of bus marshals would be discussed. He said, “We will discuss the issue of removal of bus marshals in Delhi in the Assembly today. The issue of illegal felling of trees in the Ridge area will also be discussed. Tomorrow, a vote of confidence motion could be brought.”
The session may also address Delhi’s rising pollution levels ahead of the winter season. On Wednesday, Environment Minister Gopal Rai spoke about the Delhi government’s action plan to reduce pollution, with the theme ‘Milkar chalein aur pradushan se ladein.’
Meanwhile, on Thursday, former CM Arvind Kejriwal and CM Atishi inspected a damaged road site in the capital. Kejriwal, recently released from jail, said, “They stopped the work in Delhi by sending me to jail. The roads also got damaged. This was their only motive. Today I inspected a road in Delhi University with Chief Minister Atishi ji. This road will also be repaired soon, the rest of the roads in Delhi will also be repaired soon. Now that I am back, people of Delhi need not worry. All the pending work in Delhi will be completed.”
