The opposition BJP MLAs demanded the resignation of chief minister Arvind Kejriwal over alleged corruption in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped excise policy, while the ruling AAP legislators protested against the saffron party as Saxena began his address.

Delhi assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel had to order marshalling out three BJP MLAs Jitendra Mahajan, Anil Bajpai and OP Sharma to bring order to the House. The L-G's address then commenced again, news agency PTI reported.
