Kejriwal government minister Raj Kumar Anand resigns

New Delhi (Team Newsbuddy) : Raj Kumar Anand, minister in the Arvind Kejriwal government in Delhi, has resigned from his post and the Aam Aadmi Party.

Resigning, Anand, the social welfare minister in the Kejriwal government, said, “It is regrettable to say that politics has not changed but politicians have changed.”

“The Aam Aadmi Party was born out of a movement against corruption, but today this party itself is stuck in the quagmire of corruption. It has become uncomfortable for me to work in this government. I am resigning from my ministerial post in this party and government.”

In November last year, the ED raided the residence of Raj Kumar Anand. This raid was conducted in a money laundering case related to Delhi’s canceled liquor policy.

In the same case, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is currently in Tihar Jail. Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the ED on 21 April.
Kejriwal is currently running the Delhi government from jail. Apart from him, Manish Sisodia is also in jail since last year in the same case.
