Delhi CM says BJP’s ‘Operation Lotus’ failed here as all AAP MLAs ‘hardcore honest’
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday tabled a confidence motion in the Delhi Assembly, saying it was meant to prove that 'Operation Lotus' could have been successful in other States but failed here as all Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs were "hardcore honest".
Maintaining that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s 'Operation Lotus' to topple his government failed as it could not poach any of the AAP MLAs, Mr. Kejriwal alleged that the BJP will try to topple the Jharkhand government in the next 15 days.
He also accused the Centre of waiving loans of billionaires but not that of students and farmers.
The present central government is the "most corrupt" one as they buy MLAs, he alleged.
Challenging the BJP to buy even one MLA of the AAP, Mr. Kejriwal said, "The confidence motion is to show that 'Operation Lotus' could have been successful in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and other states but failed here in Delhi. It is also to show that every AAP MLA is hardcore honest".
Mr. Kejriwal further charged that the BJP toppled Manipur, Bihar, Assam, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra governments.
At some places they even paid ₹50 crore, he alleged.
