In a dramatic turn of events, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal moved a Motion of Confidence in the Delhi Assembly on Friday, alleging that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is orchestrating a conspiracy to destabilize his government. Kejriwal’s motion comes in the wake of startling claims that seven AAP MLAs have been approached with bribes to defect from the party.
The proceedings of the Assembly, which commenced on Thursday for the fifth Budget session of the seventh Legislative Assembly of Delhi, were adjourned until Saturday to deliberate on the motion presented by Kejriwal.
The CM’s motion of confidence signifies a bold response to the alleged attempts by the BJP to poach AAP MLAs and undermine the democratically elected government in Delhi. Kejriwal’s move underscores his determination to thwart any efforts aimed at destabilizing his administration.
Earlier, Kejriwal took to social media platform X to expose the BJP’s purported conspiracy, revealing that attempts had been made to lure seven AAP MLAs with promises of Rs 25 crore each and the opportunity to contest elections on the BJP ticket. He asserted that despite the BJP’s claims of contacting 21 MLAs, only seven had been approached, all of whom vehemently refused the offers.
The Delhi CM’s post on X shed light on the BJP’s alleged strategy to tarnish the AAP government’s image and disrupt its governance by fabricating accusations and inducing defection among AAP MLAs. Kejriwal reiterated his confidence in the unity of his party and the unwavering support of the people of Delhi.
Senior AAP leader Atishi echoed Kejriwal’s sentiments, condemning the BJP’s tactics and dubbing the operation as “Lotus 2.0.” She highlighted the historical context of “Operation Lotus,” referring to previous instances where the BJP employed similar tactics to seize power in various states across the country.
Atishi emphasized the BJP’s desperation to undermine the AAP’s achievements and reiterated the party’s commitment to serving the people of Delhi despite facing relentless opposition from the BJP.
The unfolding political drama in Delhi has captured the attention of the nation, with the AAP and BJP locking horns over allegations of conspiracy and corruption. As the Assembly reconvenes to deliberate on Kejriwal’s motion of confidence, all eyes are on the outcome of this high-stakes battle for political supremacy in the national capital.
The AAP’s steadfast resolve to withstand the BJP’s onslaught and uphold the principles of democracy underscores the gravity of the situation and the significance of the forthcoming deliberations in the Delhi Assembly. The outcome of these proceedings is poised to have far-reaching implications for the political landscape of Delhi and the nation as a whole.
As the political saga unfolds, the people of Delhi remain vigilant, observing the developments with keen interest and awaiting the resolution of this gripping political showdown.
CM Kejriwal’s motion of confidence in the Delhi Assembly amidst allegations of BJP conspiracy signifies a critical juncture in the ongoing political saga. The unfolding events underscore the complexities of Indian politics and the challenges faced by democratically elected governments in navigating turbulent waters.
