New Delhi, Oct 19 : Senior AAP leader Satyendar Jain stated on Saturday that his future political responsibilities will be determined by the party and its convener, Arvind Kejriwal. Jain’s remarks came after his release from Tihar Jail on Friday night, where he spent 18 months in connection with a money laundering case.
“I will do whatever our party and Arvind Kejriwal say,” Jain told PTI Videos when asked about his upcoming political role. The Rouse Avenue court granted him bail on Friday afternoon. Jain, once a prominent figure in the AAP government, held various portfolios before his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in May 2022.
Jain condemned the circumstances surrounding his arrest, claiming it was an “atrocity” reminiscent of British rule. He accused the BJP of obstructing the work of the Kejriwal government, particularly initiatives like Mohalla Clinics and the cleaning of the Yamuna River. “It is very unfortunate for the country. All parties need to work in unity for progress,” he remarked.
After his release, Jain met Kejriwal at his residence on Firozshah Road, receiving a warm welcome from party leaders, including Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, Manish Sisodia, and Sanjay Singh, who were present outside Tihar Jail to greet him. Kejriwal shared photos of their meeting on X, expressing, “Welcome back Satyendar!”
