NEW DELHI, Aug 29:
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday tabled a confidence motion in the Delhi Assembly, saying it was meant to prove that the BJPs Operation Lotus may have been successful in other states but it failed here as all AAP MLAs are hardcore honest.
He said the BJP could not poach any of the AAP MLAs. He also alleged that the BJP will try to topple the Jharkhand Government in the next 15 days.
Kejriwal said the current Central Government is the most corrupt as it is buying MLAs by taxing the common people, while it is waiving loans of its billionaire friends.
The House was later adjourned for the day amid an uproar over allegations that Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena pressured his employees to exchange demonetised currency notes worth Rs 1,400 crore in 2016 when he was the chairman of the Khadi and Village Industries Commission.
Earlier, challenging the BJP to buy even one AAP MLA, Kejriwal said, The confidence motion is to show that Operation Lotus could have been successful in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and other states but failed in Delhi. It is also to show that every AAP MLA is hardcore honest.
He accused the BJP of toppling Governments in Manipur, Bihar, Assam, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.
At some places they even paid Rs 50 crore, he alleged.
You say that you are against corruption but you are buying MLAs. This is the most corrupt (central) Government. You will face the curse of the poor people, Kejriwal said.
In 15 days, they will try to topple the Jharkhand Government and then petrol and diesel prices will go up, he claimed.
The next time fuel prices rise, people will understand where the money is going, he added. The AAP has 62 MLAs in the 70-member Delhi Assembly, while the BJP has eight. Kejriwal held the Centre responsible for price rise and said it was due to high taxes imposed by the Central Government.
Even curd, lassi, wheat and honey have been taxed. This is something which didnt happen in the last 75 years and even under the British rule. They are using this money to waive loans of their billionaire friends, Kejriwal alleged.
He said the issue of price rise will be solved if the Centre recovers from its billionaire friends the loans it has waived.
They are sucking peoples blood by imposing taxes but are not spending it for public good like construction of schools and hospitals, he said.
Reacting to a Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) report on construction of classrooms and toilets in Delhi Government schools, Kejriwal said the BJP is now saying that the AAP Government has constructed more toilets.
Yes, we constructed more toilets in Government schools for our daughters. What wrong did we do? They did not find anything in the (CBI) raid but they will still arrest (Deputy Chief Minister Manish) Sisodia.
