Delhi Floor Test Highlights: Hello and welcome to this space brought to you by ABP Live. Follow this space for all the latest updates pertaining to the floor test to be faced by Arvind Kejriwal in the Delhi Assembly today. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party is set to face trust vote in the Delhi Assembly on Saturday. The submission of the motion occurred one day prior to Kejriwal's scheduled appearance in the Rouse Avenue court, concerning an Enforcement Directorate (ED) case. The case alleged that the Delhi Chief Minister had consistently disregarded the summons issued by the agency. Previously, during the submission of a confidence motion, Kejriwal emphasised the importance of showcasing to the public the House's confidence in the council of ministers. On February 14, Kejriwal received his sixth summons from the ED, directing him to appear before the central probe agency on February 19. Following Kejriwal's non-attendance on February 2, the agency lodged a case in court. Subsequently, on February 17, the Rouse Avenue court summoned Kejriwal, and asked him to appear before the court, and emphasised that the AAP national convenor was "legally bound" to participate in the ED investigation.Speaker Ram Niwas Goel said that the House will discuss the motion on February 17. However, opposition leader Ramvir Singh Bidhuri stated that Saturday's motion was not included in the schedule. “A discussion on the confidence motion has been scheduled on Saturday when the Rouse Avenue court has summoned Kejriwal (on February 17) over skipping ED summons in liquor scam. The sitting of the House was not fixed for February 17 according to the earlier schedule. The CM has got a discussion on confidence motion scheduled on Saturday so that he can use this as an excuse to avoid appearance before the court,” Bidhuri said.While moving the trust vote in the House on Friday, Kejriwal restated his assertion that the Bharatiya Janata Party was making efforts to poach Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs with the aim of toppling his administration.The Delhi CM had stated that BJP had promised Rs 25 crore each to seven AAP MLAs to overthrow his administration, to which BJP had responded by calling his accusation "absurd and baseless." Following this, BJP state president Virendra Sachdeva, opposition leader in the Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, and North East Delhi MP Manoj Tiwari filed a complaint with Delhi Police Commissioner, Sanjay Arora on January 30, to request an inquiry into Kejriwal's allegations.
