Delhi State BJP on Friday accused Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of encouraging corruption and demanded sacking of Satyendra Kumar Jain from the Cabinet as he is facing prosecution by the CBI. The Ministry of Home Affairs Thursday granted sanction to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for prosecution of Health Minister Jain in a disproportionate assets case, officials said.
“Kejriwal should immediately dismiss Satyendra Jain from his cabinet after permission to the CBI to prosecute him in the disproportionate assets case,” Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari said in a statement.
Kejriwal has defended Jain, saying the move to prosecute him was aimed at derailing work for regularisation of unauthorised colonies in the city.
Tiwari claimed that the decision to prosecute Jain was connected with a serious case of corruption. People of Delhi want to know why Kejriwal does not take action against Satyendra Jain involved in corruption.
