After threatening to resign as chief minister if the Janlokpal bill is not passed in the Delhi Assembly, Arvind Kejriwal has upped his efforts by asking the AAP MLAs to vote against their own government in a no-confidence motion. The move was precipitated by Lt. Governor Jung’s refusal to accept Kejriwal’s resignation.

“I am no longer his well wisher after he called me a Congress agent,” a miffed Jung told The UnReal Times. “And this after I sent him home cooked paranthas during his dharna and threw him a lifeline. Now, like his other detractors, I also want him to continue in power for as long as possible.”

With an escape route in the form of resignation no longer available, the AAP leadership is pinning its hopes on defeating its own government in the Delhi Assembly so that it can go back to agitation mode and fight the Lok Sabha elections with renewed gusto. “Anyway AAP rebel MLA Binny and that Shokeen guy hate our government in addition to ourselves,” revealed AAP rajguru, Yogendra Yadav, “which means at least 29 MLAs will vote against us. We are hopeful that we will lose more support elsewhere so that we can vote out our government to go down in a blaze of glory and regain the moral high ground which we seem to have lost.”

However, both the BJP and Congress said they are determined to keep AAP in power for as long as possible. “We want to assure the public that no matter how much they provoke us – whether it be through insults, abuse, allegations or filing of FIRs – we are determined to support them and will defeat their no confidence motion against themselves,” said Delhi Congress President Arvinder Singh Lovely.

A livid Arvind Kejriwal has slammed the BJP and Congress for not wanting to pull down his government. “This shows their true colours,” he snarled. “They don’t want the AAP to succeed by letting it fail. They both are corrupt.”
