Two days before Delhi votes in the Assembly election, BJP MPs in both Houses of Parliament focused on the Capital during the Motion of Thanks to the President’s Address. While party MP Ramvir Singh Bidhuri initiated the discussion in the Lok Sabha, Kiran Choudhry held charge in the Rajya Sabha.

Bidhuri started his speech by thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for giving the middle class more disposable income by charging no income tax till an annual income of Rs 12 lakh, saying that “no government till date had given such a bonanza to the middle class”.

In the Rajya Sabha, Kiran Choudhry attacked the AAP for claiming that Haryana was supplying poisonous water to Delhi. She said Haryana provides Delhi 1,045 cusecs of water instead of 719 cusecs that is Delhi’s share. She asserted that the water supplied to Delhi comes through an uninterrupted canal with no room for contamination. “Where did the Rs 6,000 crore they spent on Yamuna go,” she asked, adding that only 17 sewage treatment plants of the total 37 in Delhi were working.

The second speaker for the BJP in the Lok Sabha was Ravi Shankar Prasad, who hails from Bihar which goes to polls later this year. In the Rajya Sabha, Neeraj Shekhar of the BJP, again from Purvanchal, was the second speaker.
