She acknowledged everyone’s expressions and remarked that everyone is just shifting blame. She stated that they are here to discuss public issues and should do so with honesty and intelligence. She mentioned that there is talk about MCD and NDMC, with some pointing fingers in different directions, but ultimately, the fault lies with all of us.
She mentioned that when she came to Delhi before taking the oath, her house was flooded with water up to the knees. The agencies responsible for maintaining MPs’ homes do not ensure quality. We remain silent and do not speak up. During this, she also expressed her admiration for Sudhanshu Trivedi, praising his language. Jaya Bachchan remarked that even today, he did not speak from the heart, and it was only because you asked him to.
