Opposition parties on Monday stalled the proceedings in the Lok Sabha demanding the resignation of Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit in the wake of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG)’s report on Commonwealth Games, even as the treasury benches chose to watch the disruptions silently.
Outside the House though, the ruling party accused the BJP of adopting “double standards” on CAG reports citing indictment of BJP regimes in Gujarat and Uttarakhand — a charge hurled back by BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain who said the Congress had demanded the resignation of Karnataka chief minister B S Yeddyurappa but is not ready to do so when Dikshit is facing “the same kind of charges”.
Incidentally, the Uttar Pradesh unit of the Congress on Sunday decided to launch a statewide agitation against the Mayawati regime for action on the CAG report about misappropriation of funds meant for the construction of memorials in Lucknow.
