The seven-day session of Delhi Assembly ended with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's assurance to the House that his government will take into account all the issues raised by the opposition, and his government "may lack vision and have shortcomings", but its intention is pure.
Replying to the vote of thank motion on the Lieutenant Governor's address yesterday, Kejriwal in his six-minute speech in the House, said, "You (BJP and Congress MLAs) have done a good job. We are new (to the House). Considering us as one of you, please keep scolding us on our mistakes. Don't let us sleep and keep us on our toes.
"We may have shortcomings and may lack vision, but our intention is pure," he added
Calling for better coordination between members of the opposition and government, he said that "28 MLAs" cannot handle the situation, but to solve the problems entire Delhi has to come together.
"That will happen later, but at least all 70 members should have coordination," he said.
He added that Swaraj (self-rule) cannot be brought without dialogue. "This is not about BJP, Congress or AAP. We have to work together for our future and our children's future," Kerjiwal said.
The Chief Minister noted that the discussion in the house saw positive criticism and many burning issues came to light.
He added that while criticising and advising him, some MLAs used soft language, some used harsh, while some of them used very harsh language.
"Many issued which were raised by the House members were not part of the Lt Governor's speech, but they are equally important. I want to assure the house that I will take into account all the points,"
Kejriwal also apologised for one of AAP MLAs not shaking hand with a BJP MLA saying to forgive them as they are new to the house.
