Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Partap Singh Bajwa on Sunday demanded that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann should remove Cabinet minister Sanjeev Arora after his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case.
Bajwa said the CM had completely failed to uphold the standards of honesty and accountability that the Aam Aadmi Party had promised before coming to power. He said the repeated involvement of AAP leaders in corruption-related controversies had exposed the reality behind the party’s so-called model of clean politics.
“Mann should immediately sack Arora from the Cabinet. A minister arrested in a serious money laundering case cannot continue while investigations are underway. If Mann still refuses to act, it will clearly show that AAP’s claims of zero tolerance against corruption were nothing more than political slogans,” Bajwa said.
