Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain Should've Quit Delhi Cabinet Earlier: BJP

BJP's Ravi Shankar Prasad said the Supreme court refused to "grant any indulgence to one of the "most prominent faces of the anti-corruption movement led by Anna Hazare".
The BJP on Tuesday described AAP as a party of "cut, commission and corruption" and said its leaders Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain should have resigned from the Cabinet much earlier when the graft allegations against them had come to light.
Deputy Chief Minister Sisodia was arrested by the CBI on Sunday evening in connection with alleged corruption in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped Delhi liquor policy for 2021-22, while Jain is lodged in Tihar Jail in a money laundering case since May last year.
The ministers on Tuesday tendered their resignations to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, which has been accepted.
Hitting out at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its national convener Mr Kejriwal, senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said people who claimed to be the "flag bearers of the fight against corruption" have ensured governance that "increases the number of alcohol users in Delhi".
