THE BJP, HOWEVER, ACCUSED THE AAP-LED DELHI GOVERNMENT OF DELAYING THE PROCESS TO AVOID SCRUTINY AHEAD OF THE POLLS

- Shruti Kakkar

NEW DELHI: The Delhi government and assembly Speaker on Thursday opposed the Bharatiya Janata Party's plea in the high court seeking the urgent tabling of 14 Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) reports, arguing there was "no urgency" to make the reports public before the end of the assembly tenure.

Senior advocate Rahul Mehra, representing the Delhi government, argued that the procedures required to table the reports could not be completed in the limited time available. Speaker Ram Niwas Goel's counsel, senior advocate Sudhir Nandrajog, submitted that convening a special session would be "futile" as the assembly's term ends in 20 days.
