New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi today over the CBI action on his deputy Manish Sisodia as a plan by the centre to hurt the Aam Aadmi Party, but one that will backfire.
Asserting that the party’s vote share has increased by at least 4% in the upcoming Gujarat polls, the party chief said, “AAP’s vote share is up by 4 percent in Gujarat since the raid on Manish Sisodia. It will increase to 6 percent when he’s arrested,” Mr. Kejriwal said amid preparations for the assembly election in Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state, due later this year. “If he is arrested twice, then we might form government in Gujarat,” Mr. Kejriwal said in the Delhi assembly, drawing loud thumps on the desk by AAP MLAs.
“We brought a confidence motion [in the Delhi assembly] today to prove that Operation Lotus will fail. None of our MLAs have switched sides,” Mr. Kejriwal said, referring to the term often used by the opposition to mean sabotage by the BJP, whose election symbol has the lotus,” he added.

Mr.Arvind Kejriwal further said, “Fifty-nine out of 62 AAP MLAs were present for the vote of confidence. Out of the three absent, two are abroad and the third, Satyendar Jain, is in jail. In total, 58 MLAs voted in favor of the confidence vote; one is the Speaker herself.”
Mr. Kejriwal highlighted the work the Aam Aadmi Party, or AAP, government has done to improve state-run schools in the national capital.
Mr Kejriwal further said, “Both my children studied at IIT (Indian Institute of Technology). I wish to provide the same education to every child in India”.
“Absolutely corrupt party lacks educated people while hardcore honest party has those with good education, genuine IIT degrees,” the AAP chief said.
The BJP has alleged the AAP of a “school scam” involving allegations that the Arvind Kejriwal government inflated the cost of rebuilding schools and misused funds. The party also accuses the AAP government of falsely promising 500 new schools, which were never really built.
