Delhi activist Swati Maliwal publicly blamed Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for enabling corruption following the arrest of AAP minister Satyendar Jain.
Satyendar Jain, a senior minister in the Delhi government, was taken into custody by law‑enforcement agencies on corruption‑related charges. His arrest has sparked a heated debate in the capital's political circles.
In a press briefing, Swati Maliwal, head of the Delhi Commission for Women, directly targeted Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, asserting that the ministerial leadership "would get corruption done" and implying that the administration had facilitated the alleged wrongdoing.
Kejriwal’s office has not issued a detailed response to Maliwal’s remarks, but party spokespersons have reiterated their confidence in the government's anti‑corruption record and warned against politicising the investigation.
Political analysts note that the confrontation could intensify scrutiny of the Aam Aadmi Party’s governance in Delhi, especially as the city approaches upcoming municipal elections.
