Senior AAP politician Satyendar Jain stated on Saturday that the party and its convener, Arvind Kejriwal, will determine his future political obligations. After serving 18 months in Tihar jail in connection with a money laundering case, the former Delhi Health Minister was released on Friday night.
“I will do whatever our party and Arvind Kejriwal say,” the AAP leader told PTI Videos when asked about his future political role. Jain was granted bail by the Rouse Avenue court on Friday afternoon. Prior to his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in May 2022, he was one of the most senior AAP leaders and held a number of positions in the Kejriwal administration.
“Atrocity is being done… it appears that the British rule has returned. The governments should compete on the work being done for the public. However, the BJP doesn’t do that. They say we won’t let you work,” he said.
Jain who is a MLA from Shakurbasti constituency, charged that he was arrested to stall Kejriwal and AAP government’s works on Mohalla Clinics and Yamuna cleaning.
“I feel it is very unfortunate for the country. All parties need to work in unity and only then the country will progress,” he said.After being released from jail, Jain met Kejriwal at his residence on Firozshah Road on Friday night.
