AAP MP Sanjay Singh on Friday asserted that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and former deputy CM Manish Sisodia who are behind bars in the excise policy case are innocent and asserted that the Delhi government will be run from the jail. The Delhi chief minister was arrested on March 21 in connection with the excise policy-linked money laundering case. Singh, who was also arrested in connection with the case, said action was taken against Raghav Magunta's father — YSR Congress Party Lok Sabha MP Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy — on September 16, 2022.
In an exclusive interview with India TV, AAP MP Sanjay Singh said that in the Delhi liquor scam, cases were made by preparing false witnesses. When Sanjay Singh was asked why there was a delay in getting bail? He said that this is part of the legal process and PMLA law is a bit complicated in the matter of bail. However, he clarified that he is not allowed to speak about his case as it is sub-judice.
Referring to the case related to Arvind Kejriwal, Sanjay Singh said that statements of total 456 witnesses of ED and CBI were taken but only four witnesses took the name of the CM. "Kejriwal has led a life of honesty... he aims to provide good education to the children and good health facilities to the people of Delhi," Singh said.
On being asked if the government can be run from the jail, Singh said, "Why not? It is constitutionally allowed. No one can object to it. It is not for the BJP and the LG to decide if we can run the government from the jail."
