New Delhi (07/02/2020): The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) image has received a major setback before voting in the Delhi Assembly elections on 8 February. The CBI has arrested Gopal Krishna Madhav, the OSD of Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and senior party leader Manish Sisodia, taking bribe of two lakh rupees.
Significantly, this is a big setback for the Aam Aadmi Party, which emerged from the Anna movement on the issue of corruption. At the same time, the party has also made honesty the main issue in Delhi elections.
After the matter came to the fore, Deputy CM Manish Sisodia said on Twitter, ‘I have come to know that the CBI has arrested a GST inspector taking bribe. This officer was also posted in my office as OSD. The CBI should immediately punish him severely. I have got many such corrupt officials caught in the last 5 years itself.’
