A city court has granted permission to former Deputy Chief Minister and MLA from Patparganj Manish Sisodia to utilise his MLA fund. He had filed an application before a city court to give him permission to release funds for development work in his Patparganj constituency. Sisodia’s plea came after the residents of Patparganj wrote to him asking him to complete pending work, including development of local roads, society gates, barriers, water coolers, and cleanliness of community centers among others.
Reacting to the permission granted by the court, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal expressed pride over Sisodia’s dedication. He said, “Even in jail, Manish Sisodia is concerned about the welfare of the people of Delhi and his Assembly constituency.”
According to a statement issued by the AAP, Sisodia who is in jail in connection with the alleged liquor scam was continuously receiving letters from the people of his constituency regarding development projects. “In response, Manish Sisodia filed an application in the Rouse Avenue Court seeking permission to withdraw funds from his MLA fund for the development of the area,” the AAP said.
