The first session of the Delhi Assembly after the election of the new government will be held on Monday and the next day will see the release of the pending reports from the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG).

Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Vijender Gupta, who is set to be the speaker of the assembly, posted on X about the tabling of the reports on February 25 after his meeting with Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta.

Gupta’s post on X said, “Today, I had a meeting with Chief Minister Smt. @gupta_rekha ji and discussed in detail the agenda of the upcoming assembly session. The reports of #CAG will be presented on the table of the Assembly on February 25."

News18 has learnt that the first day of the Assembly, February 24, will see members taking oath and the election of the speaker. The next day will see the tabling of these reports.

On Thursday, the newly formed Delhi cabinet passed the proposal on the CAG report. A total of 14 reports will be tabled in the house.

Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva said by passing the proposal the “government has demonstrated its commitment to zero tolerance against corruption".

Last month, before elections, Gupta had spoken to News18 and had said that these reports will be the ‘kaal’ (doom) for Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal, just like it shook the Congress-led UPA-II and brought down the two-term government of the late Dr Manmohan Singh.

Gupta, as the then leader of opposition in the Delhi assembly, had raised the demand several times that the pending CAG reports should be tabled. However, the then AAP government did not release the reports. Speaking to News18, Gupta had said that the AAP was suppressing the CAG reports as they are aware that it contains blunders, corruption, leakages and misuse of public funds.

“In the past five years, not a single CAG report has been tabled in the assembly. These reports contain reality on pollution, health and education. These reports are the audit of public money that shows blunders. They are holding up these reports as they know otherwise their reality would be made public through these reports. This is complete lawlessness," Gupta had said in January.

He even went to the courts demanding that the reports be tabled before the elections were held.

Speaking to News18, a BJP leader said these reports will bring out the truth of the AAP.

“If the reports were in favour of the AAP, there was no point in hiding these reports. The public already felt that they were doing something wrong and so they voted them out. Now, with these reports, the public will get a complete picture of how Kejriwal was fooling Delhi," the leader said, demanding anonymity.
