In her first press briefing as Delhi CM , Rekha Gupta had said that her government will table the CAG reports in the first Assembly session. NEW DELHI: The Delhi government will table the long-pending Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) reports in the Assembly on February 25. The reports, which examine the financial and administrative performance of the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, had been at the centre of a political tussle between the two parties.
According to the legislative assembly bulletin, the first session of the eighth Delhi Assembly will commence on 24th February, with the oath-taking ceremony for newly elected MLAs in the morning, followed by the election of the Speaker in the afternoon. On 25th February, Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena will address the House, after which the CAG reports will be presented. The session will reconvene on 27th February for discussions on the motion of thanks and the election of the Deputy Speaker.
BJP MLA Vijender Gupta, who has been elected as the Speaker, had confirmed the tabling of the CAG reports. "The CAG reports will be tabled on 25th February," he said in a post on X after meeting Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta to discuss the agenda of the upcoming session. The BJP had previously accused the AAP government of deliberately stalling the release of the reports to conceal corruption.
During AAP's rule, the party had moved court seeking directions for the reports to be tabled, a demand that is now being fulfilled .
