The resignation letter of Manish Sisodia raises very pertinent questions as it does not have a date. Is it because the kingpin of the excise policy scam Arvind Kejriwal has yet again played with the constitution?

What Manish Sisodia's counsel, senior advocate A M Singhvi, told court
Sisodia was called for questioning only twice, which he had attended in connection with an FIR registered in August last year. Per se, the arrest would be illegal as the charge against him is punishable with less than seven years' imprisonment, mandating the CBI to give notice for arrest under Section 41A of Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC). It was not given.
He is not a flight risk, as he holds 18 portfolios in Delhi government. There was no interference by him in the investigation. The excise policy was decided after the files travelled through seven levels, including concurrence of the [Delhi] lieutenant governor. So, he cannot be the decision-making authority.
We are not inclined to entertain the petition seeking quashing of FIR and bail as you have your remedies. This is a case under the Prevention of Corruption Act. Can you not make the same arguments before the Delhi HC, which is available to you as a forum to seek similar reliefs? Go to the HC, which is bound by our judgments.

Supreme Court tells Sisodia to approach trial court or Delhi HC for bail

'Sisodia, Jain victims of BJP's politics of arrogance'
Timarpur MLA Dilip Pandey said Sisodia, who was the "world's most popular education minister", and Jain, who gave the concept of mohalla clinics, had become victims of BJP's politics of arrogance.
It is very unfortunate for the entire country that leaders who were known and popular for their work have been trapped. The Centre is targeting state governments which work hard and relentlessly for development.

Delhi govt gears up for some forced changes
Though the government is yet to announce the names of new ministers, sources said AAP chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj, who is a three-time MLA and currently holding the post of vice chairman of Delhi Jal Board, Kalkaji MLA Atishi, who has worked closely with Manish Sisodia, Timarpur MLA Dilip Pandey and Burari MLA Sanjeev Jha are among the front-runners.
The size of the Delhi cabinet is quite small and the two senior ministers held the majority of important portfolios. To ensure that the work is not impeded in their absence and the citizens of Delhi are not inconvenienced, Jain and Sisodia tendered their resignations.
AAP chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj
The AAP said two new faces would soon be inducted into the cabinet but didn't give any timeframe. For the interim, their portfolios have been distributed between Kailash Gahlot and Raaj Kumar Anand.
What Manish Sisodia said in letter
In a three-page letter in Hindi, Manish Sisodia said people were feeling threatened with Kejriwal’s honest politics and vision.
“All these allegations levelled against me are fake and nothing more than a conspiracy hatched by cowards who are afraid of Arvind Kejriwal’s politics of truth. I am not their target, but you (Kejriwal) are,” Sisodia said.
“This is because not just the people of Delhi, the whole country sees you (Kejriwal) as a leader who has a vision for India and the ability to bring a change in the lives of the people by implementing it. ”
Arvind Kejriwal a beacon of hope: Sisodia
Arvind Kejriwal has become a beacon of hope for people who are faced with a financial crunch, poverty, unemployment, price rise and corruption. Your words are not viewed as hollow promises (jumlas), said Sisodia.
They tried hard to force me to leave you. They even threatened and coerced me. When I did not bow down, they arrested me. But I am not the first person in the world to go to jail while fighting on the path of truth.
