Delhi government's ACB summons AAP leaders over alleged graft in school construction, accused of diverting attention from key issues.
Former Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain on Friday (June 6, 2025) appeared before the Anti-Corruption Branch for questioning in connection with an alleged graft case in the construction of classrooms in government schools.
Mr. Jain was summoned by the Delhi government's ACB for questioning.
Before leaving for the ACB office, Mr. Jain had asserted that the previous AAP government in the national capital worked towards improving the city's education, while the current BJP government was only doing politics.
Speaking to PTI Videos ahead of his questioning, Jain said the BJP was trying to divert attention from key issues.
"First, tell me, where did the word scam come from? They (BJP) do not want to work and are aiding private schools in increasing fees," Mr. Jain said.
"Manish Sisodia (former Education Minister) did excellent work in schools. He has been summoned. I have been summoned. These are all tactics to divert attention.
"They (BJP) used to say that dogs are roaming in the streets, but we will clean the roads. Now they should get these things done, but they are only indulging in politics," he charged.
