Manish Sisodia, who was arrested in the Delhi liquor scam case, has resigned from his ministerial post. Sisodia said that he has decided to stay away from the posts until the investigation is completed. As a part of that, he stated that he is resigning from his ministerial post. He said that more cases are likely to be registered against him. Sisodia said that all the allegations leveled against him are false and God knows what is true.
Manish Sisodia wrote a three-page letter to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday evening. After Kejriwal, Sisodia is playing a key role in Delhi government and Aam Aadmi Party. Before his resignation, he was in charge of 18 departments of the Delhi government. Recently, Manish Sisodia resigned from these responsibilities.
Along with Manish Sisodia, Delhi Minister and AAP leader Satyendra Jain, who has been in jail for the past 10 months in a money laundering case, has also resigned from his ministerial post. AAP sources said that Chief Minister Kejriwal has accepted the resignation of both Satyendra Jain and Manish Sisodia.
Manish Sisodia, who currently heads 18 of 33 departments in Delhi, was arrested on Sunday following an 8 hour grilling by the Central Bureau of Investigation. He had moved the Supreme Court yesterday for bail which asked him to approach the Delhi high court first.
