Kejriwal reaches Delhi assembly for vote of confidence, says we have people's trust

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal reached the Delhi State Assembly on Thursday to secure a vote of confidence for his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government.

"The common man trusts us. They have their trust on this government. With the work which we have done in the past few days; they have understood that we can govern," Kejriwal claimed.

"We are not scared of anything; I am not here to get power," he added.

The AAP, which emerged as the second largest party in the election with 28 MLAs, requires the support of eight more MLAs to cross the half way mark of the 70-Member Delhi Assembly.

Meanwhile, the Congress has reportedly declared that it will continue to lend outside support to the AAP Government.

Delhi Pradesh Congress President Arvinder Singh Lovely had earlier said that his party stands by its earlier decision of extending outside support to the Aam Aadmi Party.

On the other hand, the lone MLA of JDU has already announced extending support to the AAP Government.

In the newly elected assembly, BJP with its ally Akali Dal has 32 MLA's, the Congress eight and one independent member.

The Delhi Assembly yesterday completed the formality of oath taking by members, including the Chief Minister and other ministers, with senior Congress member Mateen Ahmed functioning as pro-tem Speaker.
