New Delhi, June 1: Following the arrest of Delhi minister Satyendar Jain in a money laundering case by the Enforcement Directorate, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal claimed that Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia would be arrested next in a fake case.
“I’d already announced a few months back that Central govt is going to arrest Satyendar Jain in a fake case. Reliable sources have suggested to me that Manish Sisodia is going to be arrested soon, centre has ordered all agencies to form fake cases against him,” he said.
He also requested PM Modi to put all the ministers and MLAs from AAP behind the bars.
“I request PM Modi to put all the ministers and MLAs from AAP behind the bars and ask all the central agencies to do all investigations at a go. Do as many raids as you want. You arrest one minister at a time, it obstructs public works,” he added.
Some people say this is because of upcoming Himachal Pradesh elections, some say this is revenge for Punjab elections. Whatever the reason is, we are not afraid to get arrested.
