Delhi LG criticizes AAP government for not tabling CAG reports, urges special session to address the issue.
Delhi Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena has written to Chief Minister Atishi, slamming the AAP government over a "deliberate lapse" in tabling CAG reports in the Assembly and advising her to summon a special session of the House on December 19 or 20 to do so.
In his letter on Tuesday (December 17, 2024), Mr. Saxena alleged that there has been a "conscious and deliberate lapse" on the part of the elected government in presenting the 14 reports over the last two years.
In normal course, a legislature is convened for at least three sessions in a year but it is a "travesty" of legislative practice that the Delhi government convened only five sessions in five years, he wrote to the Delhi chief minister.

The L.G. said that the third part of the fifth session of the Delhi Legislative Assembly was adjourned sine die on December 4 but yet not prorogued.
"You, being the Leader of the House, in consultation with the Speaker, may convene a special sitting of the Assembly for laying these CAG Reports on December 19 or December 20, given the inordinate delay in the matter and that elections for the Eighth Legislative Assembly are impending," he said.
The LG added that ordinarily, he would not have indicated a time frame for calling a special sitting of the House on short notice, but the situation was extraordinary as the term of the current assembly and that of the elected government is set to expire in February 2025.
