All BJP MLAs stage walkout from Delhi assembly

NEW DELHI: All four BJP MLAs on Tuesday walked out of the

Delhi assembly

to lodge their protest after speaker

Ram Niwas Goel

turned down the request of leader of opposition Vijender Gupta for a discussion on the condition of 'jhuggis' in the city.

As the house proceedings began, Gupta demanded the discussion despite Goel's assurance that he would allow it later.

Gupta, Om Prakash Sharma,

Manjinder Singh Sirsa

and Jagdish Pradhan, then walked out of the house in protest.

Goel also slammed the leader of opposition for making "baseless" allegations that the speaker was not allowing the discussion for the last 12 days on 'jhuggis' since the Budget Session of the assembly began on March 16.

"He (Gupta) is lying. I yesterday received a notice from him to have a discussion on the condition of jhuggis," the speaker told the House.
