New Delhi: Two prominent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders and Delhi legislators, Saurabh Bhardwaj and Atishi are likely to get minister posts after senior leaders Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain, both jailed in corruption cases, stepped down last evening. Chief Minister and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal has sent necessary documents to Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena to proceed with the appointments, NDTV reported quoting sources.
Notably, Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Sisodia, who was in charge of 18 departments, and Health Minister Jain stepped down on Tuesday evening hours after Supreme Court refused relief to Sisodia and asked him to challenge his arrest in the liquor policy case in Delhi High Court. The BJP had been questioning why the two ministers continue to hold cabinet berths despite being arrested in corruption cases.
The AAP said on Tuesday that the resignations were not an acceptance of guilt and described it as an “administrative step”.
