00:00 "Aam Aadmi Party will free this country from BJP."
00:07 Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today refuted the claims of Aam Aadmi Party MLAs
00:11 defecting attributing some MLAs absence due to incarceration, illness or travel.
00:17 He emphasised his government's legislative majority but deemed a confidence motion necessary
00:21 due to BJP's alleged attempts to poach MLAs and topple his administration.
00:25 "So many of our leaders have been arrested. In the history of India and the world, we have
00:32 number 2, 3, 4 and now they are saying they will put number 1 in jail. We have never seen
00:39 such an attack. So this discussion is going on, why is this happening? Because today in
00:44 the whole country, BJP's biggest challenger is Aam Aadmi Party."
00:52 Kejriwal accused the BJP of luring AAP MLAs with money to switch sides, asserting that
00:56 despite attempts to arrest him, his ideology remains intact. He challenged BJP's tactics,
01:01 questioning their ability to suppress his ideas despite personal constraints.
01:05 Highlighting AAP's role as the principal challenger to the Bharatiya Janata Party, Kejriwal even
01:10 condemned the onslaught on his party, including ministerial arrest.
01:14 "If the BJP is afraid about its future, then it is only because of AAP. That's why they
01:19 want to break the AAP. If the BJP doesn't lose the 2024 elections, then the AAP will
01:24 make sure the country is free from BJP by 2029," CM Kejriwal heroically stated in the
01:29 assembly.
01:30 "The way they have attacked AAP, they have arrested so many of our leaders, they are
01:37 trying to stop our work, they are threatening us, they are doing this and that. They are
01:44 attacking us. Every child in the country is watching what is happening. All the people
01:53 are watching. They think people are fools. People are not fools. Now there is a discussion
01:59 in the parks about what is going on. So people are asking one question, does Modi Ji want
02:09 to finish AAP? Does Modi Ji want to crush Kejriwal? Does Modi Ji want to crush Kejriwal? I am
02:21 not asking this, the children of the country are asking this. The way AAP has been attacked,
02:27 so many of our leaders have been arrested. In the history of India, we have number 2,
02:32 number 3, number 4, now they are saying they will put number 1 in jail. So this type of
02:37 attack has never been seen before. So this discussion is going on, why is this happening?
02:44 Because today in the whole country, BJP's biggest challenger is AAP. Today if BJP is
02:55 in danger, if there is a danger of the future, then there is only danger from AAP. That is
03:01 why BJP, in whatever way, by any means, wants to crush AAP. And today with full responsibility
03:10 I want to say, there is no ego in this, that if BJP does not win the Lok Sabha election
03:18 in 2024, then in 2039 AAP will free this country from BJP.
03:25 He even underscored the public awareness of BJP's actions, questioning whether PM Modi
03:29 aimed to stifle him, a concern echoed even by children due to numerous ministerial detentions.
03:34 Kejriwal stated, accusing BJP of hindering government functioning by seizing control
03:39 of key departments and bureaucracy. Kejriwal criticized their hypocrisy, citing the secession
03:43 of medicines for the poor in hospitals, despite BJP's claim of devotion to Lord Ram. The
03:49 trust vote in the Delhi assembly coincided with Kejriwal's virtual appearance before
03:52 the Roos Avenue court, responding to an ED summon. Kejriwal even expressed his desire
03:57 to attend physically but cited the ongoing confidence motion and budget session, requesting
04:02 a later court date post March 1. Meanwhile, experts are calling that CM Kejriwal is likely
04:07 to be arrested soon. Kejriwal's statement underscores the political turmoil in Delhi
04:11 where AAP faces relentless opposition from BJP, striving to maintain legislative integrity
04:16 amidst allegations of BJP's destabilizing tactics. In addition, Kejriwal's courtroom
04:21 confrontation adds another layer to his political saga, balancing legal obligations with governance
04:26 responsibilities during crucial legislative proceedings.
