**AAP Leaders Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain Face Corruption Charges in Classroom Construction Scam**
In a significant development, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in New Delhi has initiated a case against prominent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders, former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and former minister Satyendar Jain. The case revolves around an alleged scam involving inflated costs and procedural violations in the construction of 12,748 classrooms under the Delhi government, amounting to a staggering Rs 2,000 crore.
The investigation highlights serious discrepancies in the classroom construction project, which was overseen by Sisodia, who managed the education portfolio, while Jain was responsible for the Public Works Department (PWD). Officials have reported that significant deviations from the original plans and substantial cost escalations were noted, with no projects completed within the designated timelines.
The ACB’s findings indicate that consultants and architects were appointed without adhering to proper procedures, leading to unauthorized cost increases. The case was registered following the necessary permissions under Section 17-A of the Prevention of Corruption Act from the appropriate authorities.
This unfolding situation raises critical questions about governance and accountability within the AAP administration, as the allegations of corruption could have far-reaching implications for the party and its leadership.
As the investigation progresses, it remains to be seen how these developments will impact the political landscape in Delhi and the future of the AAP.
