Fifteen Aam Aadmi Party MLAs – including ex-Chief Minister Atishi, who is now Leader of the Opposition – were suspended from the Delhi Assembly, for the day, Tuesday morning in a face-off with the ruling Bharatiya Janta Party over an auditor’s report into the alleged liquor policy scam.

Senior AAP leader Gopal Rai, one of the few high-profile figures to avoid defeat in the February 5 election (party boss Arvind Kejriwal was not so lucky), was also ejected from the Assembly.

The House session was then extended by two days.

Tabled today, the report by the Comptroller and Auditor-General, or CAG, is one of over a dozen alleging corruption by the AAP, which ruled Delhi till the BJP’s election win this month.

Another investigates the ‘sheeshmahal’ scam, i.e., claims taxpayers’ money was used to refurbish – with luxury fittings – the bungalow Mr Kejriwal occupied when he was Chief Minister. This report has not been tabled as yet.

These allegations have dogged the AAP and Mr Kejriwal – who was jailed for several months, as was his former deputy, Manish Sisodia – in the build-up to the election in which the party was eventually thumped; the BJP won 48 of Delhi’s 70 seats, 37 more than it won in the past two elections combined.
