AAP leader and former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia was granted bail on August 9. Shortly after the Supreme Court granted bail, AAP held a press conference in the national capital on August 09. During the conference, Delhi’s Environment Minister Gopal Rai accused the BJP of attempting to stifle the hope for educational reform in India. He also claimed that the investigating agencies failed to find any evidence against Manish Sisodia and criticized the situation as shameful for keeping him imprisoned without proof. “The way Manish Sisodia was kept in jail for 17 months is proof that the BJP government wants to crush the hope of educational change in this country... We all thank the Supreme Court. Not a single evidence has been found till date. The CBI and ED kept the Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi in jail for 17 months. Shame on such an agency which has not found a single evidence till date”, said Gopal Rai.
