The Delhi BJP on Wednesday demanded cancellation of Health Minister Satyendra Jain’s daughter’s “appointment” as adviser for the Aam Aadmi Mohalla Clinics.
Satish Upadhyay, Delhi BJP chief said that the appointment reeks of corruption. “Nepotism in appointments and corruption in administration has reached its climax under the Kejriwal government. On the one hand the Chief Minister appointed workers connected with the party and various NGOs on co-terminus basis and on the other, hundreds of others have been appointed as advisers. Mohalla Clinics have been opened in the houses of party workers providing them means of income. The appointment of the daughter of the Health Minister of Delhi as adviser for the Aam Aadmi Mohalla Clinics is a case of conflict of interest and this appointment should be cancelled immediately,” said Upadhyay.
The Indian Express had earlier reported that Soumya Jain had been put in charge of the clinics on an honorary basis.
