Arvind Kejriwal-led government will face a crucial vote of confidence in Delhi Assembly this afternoon. Congress has made it clear that it will continue its support to the government.

Delhi Congress President Arvinder Singh Lovely said, the party stands by its decision to give outside support to Aam Aadmi Party, AAP, government in the city.

Our correspondent reports, AAP has 28 MLAs and needs at least eight MLAs to achieve the required majority of 36 in 70-member Assembly.
