While protesting and demanding the dismissal of Health Minister Satyendra Jain outside the residence of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari was detained on Monday. leading the massive rally of over 5,000 party workers, Tiwari said Jain is accused of involvement in hawala transaction.
Tiwari and other workers were taken to the Operation Cell, Maurice Nagar. Addressing the demonstrators Tiwari said Arvind Kejriwal has taken lead in fighting against corruption of the erstwhile Sheila Dikshit regime and today we find corruption and nepotism institutionalised in the Delhi Government.
“The man who once said that I will not allow a single tainted MlA in the Vidhan Sabha has all through supported his tainted and characterless colleagues forgetting all political morality lessons which he preached before coming to power,” said BJP leader.
He further said the illegal money laundering activities by the Health Minister stands evidently exposed and political propriety demands that the either he should resign or should be dismissed.
BJP Delhi president said though we are here demanding Jain’s dismissal but we know CM Kejriwal cannot act against Jain as he is accountant of his amassed wealth and moment he acts Jain will expose Kejriwal’s corruption sagas. MPs Maheish Girri, Meenakshi lekhi, Ramesh Bidhuri, Pravesh Verma, Udit Raj, leader of opposition in Delhi Assembly Vijendra Gupta and National Secretary Sardar RP Singh also addressed the demonstrators.
Alleging the AAP Government, BJP leader Parvesh Verma said corruption of Kejriwal Government stands exposed before the people. “There are evidence of corruption in all Delhi Government departments be it Transport, Health, PWD, Education or Food and Supply. The Development Commissioners offices are plagued with corruption and there is wide spread enimosity towards Kejriwal Government in the people,”said Verma.
Sardar R P Singh said there is evidence telling that even the funds meant for maintenance of public utility services in J J colonies have been siphoned by MlAs in connivance with officials and CM Kejriwal owes explanation to the people.
