The BJP today disrupted proceedings of the Delhi Assembly over the alleged deaths of homeless people in the national capital, a charge which was rejected by the housing board that manages night shelters.
The BJP MLAs, led by the leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta, rushed to the well of the House seeking a discussion on the issue, but Speaker Ram Niwas Goel turned down the demand.
In a counter attack, AAP MLAs tried to shout down the BJP legislators by raising the issue of atrocities against Dalits and alleged foul play behind the death of special CBI judge B H Loya.
