India
oi-Madhuri Adnal
New
Delhi,
Aug
29:
The
ruling
Aam
Aadmi
Party
government
is
set
to
bring
a
Confidence
Motion
in
the
Delhi
Assembly
today
in
a
bid
to
prove
that
“no
party
MLA
defected”
to
the
opposition
Bharatiya
Janata
Party
amid
allegations
of
corruption
against
AAP’s
top
ministers.
Chief
Minister
and
AAP
convenor
Arvind
Kejriwal,
during
his
speech
in
the
assembly
on
Friday,
said
that
he
will
bring
a
‘confidence
motion’ in
the
House
to
prove
that
“the
BJP
failed
to
buy
AAP
MLAs”
and
Operation
Lotus
became
“Operation
keechad”
in
the
national
capital.
“It
is
being
said
they
(BJP)
broke
away
a
number
of
MLAs.
I
received
phone
calls,
people
asked
me
if
everything
is
alright.
I’d
like
to
bring
a
confidence
motion
in
House
to
show
people
that
not
even
one
went
away,
that
the
BJP’s
Operation
Lotus
became
‘Operation
Keechad’
here,” Kejriwal
said
in
his
speech
in
the
House.
Operation
Lotus
has
failed,
all
MLAs
are
with
us:
AAP
According
to
the
list
of
business
issued
by
the
assembly
secretariat,
“CM
Arvind
Kejriwal
will
move
the
following
Motion:
This
House
expresses
its
confidence
in
the
Council
of
Ministers.”
BJP
has
rubbished
the
claims,
saying
that
the
ruling
Kejriwal
government
was
indulging
in
“theatrics” to
divert
attention
from
the
excise
policy
scam
that
is
being
investigated
by
the
CBI.
Kejriwal
has
linked
the
recent
raids
on
Delhi
excise
minister
Manish
Sisodia
to
assembly
elections
in
Gujarat,
which
are
scheduled
to
take
place
later
this
year.
Kejriwal
claimed
that
the
raids
would
stop
if
the
AAP
withdraws
from
contesting
in
the
Gujarat
polls.
On
the
CBI
raids
at
Sisodia’s
residence
over
irregularities
in
the
excise
policy,
Kejriwal
said
that
not
a
single
penny
was
found
by
the
agency
and
the
efforts
were
futile.
