Four time Congress MLA from Sultanpur Majra in North west Delhi, Jai Kishan approached the Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi accusing the Opposition party for harassing him and lodging false cases against him. The senior Congress leader said that he and his son were beaten up by Delhi police in the fake cases lodged against him. Jai Kishan also alleged that he was completely ignored by the party leadership in Delhi.
In a letter to Rahul on Friday, he wrote, “My opponents made false allegations against me but I never left the Congress Party and won the election by more than 8000 votes. Some of my opponents even made a woman accuse me of some lies and Sonia Gandhi knew that I was innocent and had been a confidant of the party. By ignoring my rights, the party will regret in future.”
Jai Kishan also mentioned the incident of getting beaten in front of Wayanad MP. He stated, “In front of Rahul Gandhi, the Police beat me and my younger son with sticks and we both got badly injured and were admitted to the Hospital.”
He further added that despite being offered high posts by the BJP, he stayed loyal to Congress. “I, Jai Kishan, have been MLA from Sultanpur Majra for five consecutive times with my wife. I always defend the Congress Party and regret the high posts offered by BJP,” said the former MLA.”
Kishan got into a controversy in 2015 when he was arrested for allegedly beating up students and a teacher of a private school for attending a reality show in Hyderabad without his prior permission.
The former Congress Secretary asked the high command to name a person who has worked more than him for the party and the Dalit community in Delhi. “No one has worked more than me in the rallies, Panchayat, Meetings and demonstrations for dalit Congress party and also no one has spent more money than me on the party's work. If anyone has done it, please let me know. It is my humble request to you that, please tell me who worked more than me for the Congress Party and dalit samaj in Delhi.”
Concluding the letter, Kishan said that he will always try to remain loyal to the party, adding that he is worried for the party in future. “If my words have hurt anyone, I really apologise for that and my activities will be weakened. I will try to remain loyal to the Congress Party. I am worried about my family's livelihood and the Congress Party.”
