However, the party took the resignation of Minister Satyendar Jain after nine months, questions are also being raised on this. Despite this, the party wants to give the message of morality among the public.
The BJP was continuously besieging the Aam Aadmi Party on the issue of corruption. As soon as the CBI clamped down on Manish Sisodia, the party’s second-in-command after the Satyendar Jain case, in the alleged liquor scam, the BJP started accusing the party and its leaders. The BJP was demanding the resignation of the ministers implicated in the allegations. It is being said that this step has been taken by the party after seeing one issue after another. Senior leader of Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh termed it as morality, and on the contrary targeted BJP that our leaders have resigned on the basis of morality, you cannot take resignation from a leader who is accused by you. Somewhere the party wants to give a clear message among the general public that their thinking against corruption is one, even within the party people cannot be spared. Even though the allegations against Manish Sisodia have not been proved, but the party does not want to make any mistake on its part, due to which it will have to answer this question in any future election.
