Delhi unit of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) led by MPs Ramesh Bidhuri, Manoj Tiwari, leader of the opposition in Delhi Assembly, Ramvir Singh Bidhuri and state unit president Adesh Gupta staged a protest at Chandgi Ram Akhara against Kejriwal government to demand sacking of minister Satyendra Jain. Led by morcha’s president Shri Vasu Rukhar, the protestors numbering over 3000 raised slogans in support of their demand
Addressing protestors, Bidhuri said the minister purchased land worth thousands of crores in unauthorized colonies where agricultural activity was taking place. Later, roads and drains were developed there due to which the prices of land shot up there. If it was Rs 500 for a sq metre earlier it now rose to Rs 50000 for that.
Jain is presently under judicial custody in a money-laundering case registered by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
"Jain is in jail for nearly two months and yet, Kejriwal has kept him as a minister in his government. He should be sacked by Kejriwal as he did in the case of another minister for corruption simply on the basis of video-recording," Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta said.
