The legislators were Dinesh Chadha, Raman Arora, Budh Ram, Kulwant Pandori, Narinder Kaur Bharaj, Rajnish Dahiya, Rupinder Singh Happy, Sheetal Angural, Manjit Singh Bilaspur, Labh Singh Ugoke and Baljinder Kaur. However, the BJP dismissed the allegation by saying AAP was attempting to divert public attention from its governance failures.

However, as per the available documents with IANS, a report by the then Deputy Commissioner was made highlighting the irregularities in the procurement process which recommended that DTC should scrap the tender and should call fresh bids. Highlighting the irregularities, the report underlined, "For the abovementioned reasons, it is recommended that the DTC should scrap the tender and should call fresh bids without any delay".

BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra while playing the purported video alleged that "Kulvinder Marwah, the father of accused number 13 Sunny Marwah, admits that the money is being given to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia". "Why the commission to the dealers were increased from 2 per cent to 12 per cent, and why without cabinet approval Rs 144 crore were waived off without cabinet approval," Patra asked.

While the Congress has tweeted a video of a protest by party workers in Azad's home block against him, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh tweeted, "This is ground reality, not reality manufactured by people sitting in New Delhi in Modi Sarkar sanctioned bungalows with huge lawns and planting fake news."

In a full-scale of war of words, the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, V.K. Saxena, on Thursday hit back at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, stating that the latter has resorted to diversionary tactics and levelling false accusations, but these will not deter him for discharging his duties as the L-G. "I called for good governance, zero tolerance to corruption and better services for the people of Delhi.

No one voted against the motion as all BJP MLAs were absent from the house. Three of BJP MLAs were marshalled out of the Assembly for the entire session after an argument with Deputy Speaker Rakhi Birla who did not consider their demand to take up their calling attention notices before a discussion on the no-confidence motion.

"The spokesperson did not give the list even after asking for the list many times. Also, he claimed old school as his own party constructed one. Their lying has been caught. See the education model of fanatical dishonest Arvind Kejriwal", BJP Spokesperson Bhatia said while sharing the video.

The meeting was scheduled to begin by 11 a.m. at the CM's residence, but it has been delayed as all the MLAs have not reached his residence yet. Talking to media, AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj said, "We are unable to connect with some of the MLAs, but we are sure that later or sooner they will attend the meeting. "There may be traffic problems or others, but they are coming one by one," he told the media. "We want to make sure that the Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi will not collapse and we are very much sure that all MLAs will join the meeting soon," Bhardwaj told the media.

Addressing a press conference along with Lok Sabha member Pravesh Sahib Singh Verma at party headquarters here, BJP national spokesperson and Rajya Sabha member Sudhanshu Trivedi noted that the Delhi Excise Policy says that producers, retailers, and distributors of liquor cannot be the same, however, it was violated.

"Once the elections are over, this all will be on the backburner," he added. Kejriwal and his deputy Sisodia are on a two-day Gujarat tour. Addressing the mediapersons in Ahmedabad, he said, "The Central agency can arrest Sisodia in a day or two, who knows they may even arrest me and others... all cases against Sisodia are baseless, but this all action will continue till Gujarat Assembly elections are over."
