Arvind Kejriwal's govt wins trust vote with 54 votes: 'Will make India free from BJP in 2029'

The Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) won the trust vote in the Delhi Assembly on Thursday. A total of 54 of 62 AAP MLAs were present during voting. Delhi Chief Minister argued that no AAP MLAs defected. He said two MLAs were in jail, some unwell and some out of station.

Kejriwal said this confidence motion was needed because the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was trying to poach AAP MLAs. "The AAP is the biggest challenger to the BJP, which is why it is under attack from all sides," Kejriwal added.

He said in the Delhi Assembly on Saturday, “With utmost responsibility, I want to say that if the BJP does not lose Lok Sabha elections in 2024, then AAP will make India free from BJP in 2029..."
