The political temperature in Delhi’s Vidhan Sabha has soared as BJP unleashes sharp criticism against AAP for orchestrating disruptions during the ongoing winter session. Labeling it a ‘calculated conspiracy,’ BJP asserts that AAP is hell-bent on preventing any substantive discussions that could expose its administrative shortcomings.
From the very first day, AAP legislators have been accused of creating pandemonium through coordinated protests and refusals to follow assembly procedures. Opposition Leader Vijender Gupta highlighted how AAP’s antics have wasted precious legislative time. ‘Instead of addressing mohalla clinics failures and Yamuna pollution, they’re playing drama,’ he remarked pointedly.
BJP’s broader narrative frames this as AAP’s panic response to mounting public anger. Recent surveys indicate declining approval ratings for Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s government, particularly on education and healthcare fronts. ‘They’re obstructing because they have no answers,’ BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor told reporters.
Assembly records show over a dozen adjournments in just three days, with zero bills passed. Critical matters like women’s safety, pollution control measures, and fiscal planning hang in balance. BJP MLAs staged a sit-in protest, demanding the session be conducted smoothly.
Responding to the accusations, AAP accused BJP of hypocrisy. ‘Those who stalled Parliament 100 times are lecturing us on decorum,’ shot back AAP leader Atishi. Yet, internal BJP sources suggest they’re preparing a privilege motion against disruptive AAP members.
This clash underscores deepening political polarization ahead of future elections. As Delhiites grapple with daily challenges, the question remains: will lawmakers prioritize governance over grandstanding? The winter session’s outcome could significantly impact public perception of both parties.
