The Enforcement Department may arrest Delhi Health Minister Satyender Jain claimed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday. He stated that the Centre had conducted raids on Satyender Jain earlier as well, however, they didn’t get any evidence.
“Our sources have apprised us that in the coming days, ED will arrest Satyendar Jain. Raids by the Centre have been done twice against him but in vain. They are welcome this time too,” said the Delhi CM.
He also claimed that the Central agencies were getting proactive because the Assembly elections were approaching. Challenging BJP, he stated, “BJP can send all agencies. Not only Satyendra Jain, but they can also send them to me, Manish Sisodia, Bhagwant Mann. We will welcome them with a smile.”
Mocking Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi, he further said, “We will not cry like (Punjab CM) ChanniJi (on ED raids). He is frustrated because he has done wrong… We’ve not done anything wrong so we are not afraid.”
Following this, Delhi Health Minister Satyender Jain said, “They (ED) are welcome to come whenever they want. Even before this, they raided me twice but all in vain. This is all politics and last time also they did it during the Punjab elections. ED, CBI all are welcome to come.”
In 2018, the Central Bureau of Investigation had raided the house of Delhi Health Minister Satyender Jain. As per the officials, a complaint was registered against him for alleged corruption in hiring a creative team for the Public Works Department to come up with some new architectural designs and reduce expenses. The raids were also conducted on the premises of Deputy CM Manish Sisodia. Around 21 MLAs from the Aam Aadmi Party were arrested, however, the officials didn’t get any evidence against them.
