The Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday won a motion of trust that was tabled in the Delhi Assembly.

A total of 54 of 62 AAP MLAs were present during voting.

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said no AAP MLAs have defected. “Two MLAs are in jail, some unwell and some out of station,” he said.

The Delhi chief minister said that his government has a majority in the House but it needed to bring the motion of confidence because the BJP was “trying to poach party MLAs and topple his government”.

Kejriwal alleged that several MLAs have told how they were contacted and offered money to switch sides by the “BJP people”.

He asserted that the BJP thinks it can finish AAP by arresting him. “You may arrest me but how will you finish Kejriwal’s thoughts?” he asked.
