Vijender Gupta highlighted that the Aam Aadmi Party government has not included a provision for Question Hour in the upcoming 'Winter Session'. He emphasized that legislators are accountable to the people in their constituencies, and the Assembly serves as the only platform where they can raise their constituency's issues during Question Hour and demand solutions from the government.

"If there is no Question Hour in the session, how will legislators bring their issues to the government's attention?" he stated. Additionally, he urged the inclusion of short-duration discussions and calling attention to motions in the Assembly proceedings to ensure the participation of legislators. The Leader of the Opposition has appealed to the Assembly Speaker to respect democratic principles and ensure the inclusion of Question Hour in the upcoming Assembly session so that all legislators present in the House as public representatives can have the opportunity to raise their respective constituency's issues before the Assembly. Delhi Assembly LoP Demands Vijender Gupta Demands Question Hour in Winter Session.
