Delhi Confidential: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla’s warning to Congress’ Sonia Gandhi

The Congress members eventually walked out in protest against the government’s decision not to have any discussion on the LAC dispute.

Agency confusion: Officials of a construction agency under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs recently found themselves at the receiving end over the quality of work of a particular project in Delhi, but there was nothing they could do about it. It turned out that the project had been carried out by another construction agency under the same ministry, but even the users of the building, government officials themselves, seemed confused between the two. If there was confusion within the government, it will be all the more so for the public, the officials felt.

Dilemma: Congress leaders were caught in a dilemma at Parliament House on Wednesday. Party’s Telangana chief Revanth Reddy was staging a protest outside the Parliament House against the police action and arrests of Congress leaders by the BRS government, while party’s secretary in-charge of the state Manickam Tagore was to raise the issue in the House.

When Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge convened a meeting of Opposition parties in the morning, K Keshava Rao of the BRS did turn up, which according to sources, was unexpected.
