Truth will prevail, says Kejriwal

The special Assembly session on Tuesday is likely to be stormy with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal promising to break his silence, two days after a member of his own Cabinet accused him of corruption.

Mr. Kejriwal tweeted on Monday that the truth would prevail, and that the one-day Assembly session would mark the beginning. The session would be the second part of the fifth session of the Delhi Assembly.

“

Jeet satya ki hogi. Kal Dilli Vidhan Sabha ke vishesh satr se iski shuruat ,” the Chief Minister wrote.

Kapil Mishra, who accused the Chief Minister of corruption, was dropped from the Cabinet on Saturday and suspended from the party on Monday.

‘May take on opposition’

While Delhi Assembly officials said that an agenda had not been circulated as of Monday evening, sources close to Mr. Kejriwal said that he was likely to take on the BJP and the ‘opposition’ within the AAP.

Among the topics that would be up for discussion, sources said, would be the reliability of the Electronic Voting Machines, implementation of the Goods and Services Tax and recent developments in Delhi, including the CBI raid on the Delhi Health Department.

The BJP’s strategy for the session, said Leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta, would be to hit out at the AAP government by raising questions about the graft allegations against Mr. Jain and demanding his resignation, before taking on Mr. Kejriwal over his “defence of a tainted Minister”.
