Delhi CM Kejriwal Sacks Cabinet Minister Sandeep Kumar Over Sex CD

Kejriwal who claimed that he received the CD said that the Aam Aadmi Party stands for proprietary in public life and that can't be compromised. Sandeep Kumar was the youngest minister in the Kejriwal cabinet and was an MLA from Sultanpur Majra in the capital.

Singh said that Kejriwal is losing his grip over the party and needs to ask himself what exactly does he and his party stand for.

Congress leader Kiran Walia too slammed Kejriwal and said it shocking to know that a minister handling the women and child development portfolio was caught in a scandal.

Former AAP leader Yogendra Yadav too questioned the timing of the sacking and said that it is unlikely that the action was taken based on morality.

BJP leader GVL Narasimha Rao said that the party which claimed to have brought in a new form of politics seems to be degenerating with each passing day.

"A women partyworker who was harassed by a fellow colleague in the party was told to sort out matter and the CM himself was blamed by the woman and her family members. this is the kind of attitude the party has on such serious issues. What has happened in shameful," Rao added.

Defending the decision, Deputy CM Manish Sisodia said that the part received an objectionable CD and the decision to sack Sandeep Kumar was taken within 30 minutes.

"AAP is a party of principles - on the issues of crime and character and we had removed another minister on charged of receiving bribe. AAP works on zero tolerance to crime and corruption whoever does this will not be spared by Arvind Kejrwal," Sisodia added.

Few days back Kejriwal had sacked AAP Punjab chief Sucha Singh Chhotepur over allegations of corruption based on a CD that showed Chhotepur accepting bribe.
