Delhi ministers Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain on Tuesday resigned from the Cabinet, amid corruption allegations against them. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has accepted their resignations.No new ministers will join the cabinet, party sources said.
Manish Sisodia was arrested by the CBI on Sunday evening in the alleged corruption in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped liquor policy. Mr Jain is currently in Delhi's Tihar Jail in a money laundering case.
The resignations came after the Supreme Court earlier today declined to interfere in the case against Delhi Manish Sisodia. The Chief Justice said, "This is regarding prevention of corruption act. Vinod Dua's case was a very different this is a corruption case. Go to High court".
"Our doors are open, but we are not ready to entertain. This will be a very bad precedent," Chief Justice DY Chandrachud said.
