Lok Sabha speaker urges Delhi MLAs to make Delhi Legislative Assembly a model Legislature

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla today urged newly elected members of Delhi Legislative Assembly to make it a model legislature as expectations and aspirations of people from the new government are very high. 

Emphasizing on this, he said that public representatives of Delhi are accountable to people of Delhi but entire country keeps an eye on their work. 

Urging the Members to work on finding innovative solutions to the problems faced by the people, and share ideas and experiences in a competitive spirit, Birla said that the aim of legislators must be to introduce innovations in the Assembly that will solve the problems of the people and address the challenges faced by them. 

He added that the solutions that emerge from Delhi will not only serve Delhi but also set an example for other states and legislative bodies in the country.

The Members should focus on development of Delhi as a whole instead of thinking restrictively to their constituencies, he suggested. Observing that Delhi is a microcosm of India, where people from all states, with diverse languages, religions, and cultures, come together, Birla said that it is the responsibility of elected representatives to meet these varied aspirations and expectations. 

Birla was speaking at the inaugural session of the two days Orientation Programme for Members of Delhi Vidhan  Sabha at the Delhi Legislative Assembly premises, today. 

The Orientation Programme is being organised by Delhi Vidhan  Sabha and Parliamentary Research and Training Institute for Democracies (PRIDE), Lok Sabha Secretariat.
