Delhi assembly to discuss Kejriwal’s future in light of ED summons

Must read

Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi, presented a motion of confidence in the Delhi Assembly amid concerns of potential arrest and alleged attempts by the BJP to topple his government. He highlighted the repeated summons issued by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with an excise policy case and expressed concerns about the BJP’s efforts to undermine his administration. Kejriwal also mentioned claims from two MLAs who allege being approached by BJP members with offers of money to defect. He accused the BJP of attempting to poach AAP MLAs, drawing comparisons to “another Operation Lotus” and maintaining his innocence in the ongoing probe. The Delhi Assembly is scheduled to discuss the motion of confidence, providing an opportunity for lawmakers to voice their support or opposition to Kejriwal’s government. In response to his allegations, the Delhi Police’s crime branch issued a notice requesting his participation in the investigation into the alleged poaching attempt. Kejriwal is also due to appear in court following a complaint filed by the ED citing his repeated non-compliance with summonses. The court ordered his appearance and stated that he was “legally bound” to comply with its order.
