In a shocking development, two senior ministers of the Delhi government, Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain, have tendered their resignations from their respective positions in the state cabinet. The move has sent ripples through the political circles of the national capital, with many speculating about the reasons behind the sudden resignations.
According to sources close to the matter, both Sisodia and Jain had expressed their desire to step down from their roles citing personal reasons. While Sisodia held the portfolios of education, finance, planning, and revenue, Jain was in charge of the health and industries departments. Both ministers have been associated with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) since its inception and were considered as key members of the Kejriwal-led government.
As news of their resignations spread, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal accepted their decision, thanking them for their services to the people of Delhi. In a statement released to the media, Kejriwal said, “Both Manish and Satyendar have been instrumental in the success of our government’s initiatives and have worked tirelessly for the welfare of the citizens. While we will miss their presence, we respect their decision and wish them all the best for their future endeavors.”
The resignations have come at a time when the Delhi government is preparing for the upcoming municipal elections, and their absence will surely be felt by the AAP. The party has not yet announced who will be filling the vacant ministerial positions.
Many are now speculating about the reasons behind the resignations, with some linking it to the ongoing farmer protests in the country, which have seen a surge in support in recent weeks. However, there has been no official confirmation from either Sisodia or Jain on this matter.
Whatever the reasons behind the resignations, it is clear that their departure will have an impact on the Delhi government, and it remains to be seen how the AAP will navigate this sudden change.
