New Delhi, March 30 The Delhi Assembly's budget session concluded after over 15 hours of legislative business, said Speaker Vijender Gupta on Monday, describing it as a "productive engagement" during the proceedings.
"The second part of the fourth session of the eighth legislative assembly was held from March 23 to March 27, 2026, comprising four sittings conducted on March 23, 24, 25, and 27, 2026, and concluded with a total working time of 15 hours and 16 minutes," Gupta said.
During the budget session, the Speaker said that all seven pending reports of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) were presented in the House.
"Multiple audit reports relating to state finance, revenue, economic, social, and general sectors, public sector undertakings, the Delhi Jal Board, and Delhi government universities were presented, discussed, and referred to the appropriate committees," Gupta said.
The Speaker stated that 63 notices were received under Special Mention, of which 44 were raised in the House under Rule 280.
Gupta also said that the conduct of the opposition during this session raises "serious concerns" for parliamentary functioning.
"It is concerning that the opposition has adopted a completely negative approach during this session. It is unfortunate that the opposition chose to abstain from the House proceedings in the name of protest, despite there being no substantive issue," Gupta said.
There was no immediate response from the AAP on the matter.
"Deliberate disruption of proceedings, preventing the House from functioning, disregarding its dignity, and subsequently attempting to create misleading narratives reflect a pattern of indiscipline that cannot be accepted," he added.
Meanwhile, Gupta met President Droupadi Murmu and Delhi Lt Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu and presented them a coffee table book named 'Shatabdi Yatra—Vir Vithalbhai Patel.'
The Speaker also briefed the President on the historical significance of March 30, saying that on this day in 1919, Swami Shraddhanand led a non-violent protest against the oppressive Rowlatt Act at Delhi's Chandni Chowk, Gupta said.
