The BJP on Tuesday demanded the resignation of Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and health minister Satyendar Jain, who was arrested by the ED in connec𝓡tion with a money laundering case, alleging that the AAP chief's stand on the issue shows that he not only condones corruption but is also involved in it.
BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia also rejected the Aam 🍨Aadmi Party's allegation of "political 🧔vendetta" and that Jain's arrest was linked to upcoming polls in Himachal Pradesh. No court has quashed any proceedings of central agencies in a corruption case, he asserted.
The BJP government at the Centre has zero tolerance against ♊corruption and will continue to target graft, Bhatia said, adding that polls keep taking place in the country, a🀅nd probe agencies cannot be asked to step back from acting despite evidence because of elections.
Both Kejriwal and Ja𒉰in should resign, he said at a press conference, alleging the health minister had been acting at the behest of the AAP supremo. It is clear that Kejri༒wal has been left with no morality, he claimed.
Noting that former Punjab health minister Vijay Singla was also arrested in a corruption case recently, Bhatia 𒈔alleged that the AAP has maintained a "100 per cent corruption" record.
The allegations of money laundering against Jain are serious, Bhatia said and noted that he had so fa𒁃r got no relief from any court.
Jain was arrested by tꦛhe Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday in connection with a money laundering case.
