Satyendar Jain, a leader from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and a former Delhi minister, has taken legal action against Bansuri Swaraj, a Member of Parliament from the BJP. He claims that during a television interview on October 5, 2023, she made false statements that hurt his reputation.
Jain says Swaraj wrongly accused him of having ₹3 crores, 1.8 kilograms of gold, and 133 gold coins in his house. He believes these claims are not only untrue but also meant to give her a political edge. He has described her accusations as “baseless” and politically motivated.
The AAP leader further states that Swaraj has called him “corrupt” and “fraud,” which he claims are also false and malicious accusations. Jain insists that these remarks have caused serious harm to his reputation, affecting both his public life and personal relationships. The impact has been significant, touching his role as a husband, father, brother, and friend.
He feels that the attacks on his character are irreversible, damaging both his public image as a political leader and his private life. Jain is set to bring this defamation complaint to the Rouse Avenue Court on Tuesday, December 10.
Earlier, another AAP leader, Somnath Bharti, challenged Swaraj’s election victory, claiming she won due to “corrupt practices.” This occurred during a recent election where the BJP secured all seven seats in Delhi.
