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.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
