New Delhi: Former Delhi health minister Satyendar Jain on Tuesday launched a crowdfunding initiative ahead of the Assembly polls in the Capital, urging people to donate for “kaam ki rajneeti” (politics of work). At a press conference, Jain, who is contesting the February 5 polls from the Shakur Basti constituency as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate, said when he was in jail in connection with a money-laundering case, he was not sure whether he will be released before the election.
“When I was in jail, I wondered whether I would be out before the election or not. All the party leaders who were in jail came out. I thought people would be angry. But when I went to the public, I saw anger against the BJP. They said there should be a competition between politicians as to who has done more work for them,” he said.
