In a surprise move, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday tabled a motion of confidence in the Delhi Assembly. This comes amidst ongoing investigations by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and allegations of political manipulation by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Focus on Stability
This move by Kejriwal, whose Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) holds a majority in the Assembly with 62 seats, has sparked various interpretations. While some see it as a proactive step to demonstrate the government’s stability and address internal dissent rumors, others view it as a strategic maneuver to counter accusations of political instability.
Legal Scrutiny
Kejriwal faces ongoing legal scrutiny related to the now-scrapped Delhi liquor policy, with the ED summoning him for the sixth time earlier this week. He has consistently denied any wrongdoing and called the summons “illegal.” Additionally, several key AAP leaders, including Satyendar Jain, Manish Sisodia, and Sanjay Singh, are currently under investigation or facing charges in separate cases.
