He said matters pertaining to the Delhi Jal Board and the Delhi Transport Corporation would also be raised by the BJP.

The BJP aims to highlight the "shortcomings" of the Kejriwal government on various issues, including corruption in the installation of panic buttons in public transport buses.

The matter of Supreme Court "rebuke" over non-allocation of funds for rapid rail project by the Kejriwal government will also be raised during the session, he said.

He said a session has called but the question hour has been omitted which is an "encroachment" upon the constitutional rights of legislators.
