Money Laundering Case: Sisodia's Judicial Custody Renewed
Delhi: Followed by the arrest of former Deputy Chief Minister, Manish Sisodia in the Liquor Policy Scam, his house is allotted to Atishi Marlena by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). He was allotted Education, PWD, Power, and Tourism portfolios after being sworn in as minister. Due to all this, Notice was issued to the minister’s family to vacate the bungalow. The notice was issued by Public Works Department (PWD) to vacate the house on or before 21st March.
Reacting to this incident, BJP is questioning the urgency posed by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to vacate the house. “Why is Kejriwal in such a tearing hurry to get rid of Sisodia? What happened to his promise to take care of Sisodia’s family after his arrest,” Delhi BJP media cell head Harish Khurana said. This statement clearly questioned the support of AAP for Manish Sisodia.
Aam Aadmi Party issues statements
“As far as the order regarding the former deputy chief minister’s residence is concerned, it is the law that a minister upon resigning from his/her office is bound to vacate the government residence occupied by them within 15 days. This order is nothing but a compliance of the law,” the Aam Aadmi Party said. With this, they have tried to provide clarification on their acts.
In addition to this, they said, “The whole country is in awe of his work in education. The AAP has been running a signature campaign across Delhi and the country and we have seen that everyone feels that Sisodia’s arrest is unjustified.”

The news leak
AAP accused Lieutenant Governor of Delhi VK Saxena of leaking the news regarding the allotment. “The Delhi Lieutenant Governor has an obsessive publicity disorder. He has no work left to do but to spew malice against the AAP. He is insulting the dignity of a Constitutional office by leaking news to the media like this. And this coming from a person whose video of assaulting a woman activist like a street thug has been seen by the entire country is rather ironic.”
According to AAP, this news was leaked by the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi. It stated that he is only demeaning the party and insulting the dignity of the constitutional office.
