Viral video showing jailed Delhi minister Satyendar Jain taking massage triggers AAP-BJP fight
New Delhi/IBNS: A viral video showing jailed Delhi minister Satyendar Jain taking a massage has sparked a verbal fight between the city's ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The video, which has not been independently verified by India Blooms, shows Jain, who was arrested in a money laundering case earlier this year, reading some papers lying down in jail keeping a foot on a man's lap to receive the massage.
Slamming Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his AAP, BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya tweeted, "Despite being in jail for last five months, Satyendra Jain continues to be a minister in Arvind Kejriwal’s cabinet. He has been provided a masseur, TV, bed, bottled water and all facilities, in gross violation of jail rules.
"Why would Kejriwal not sack him? What is he scared of?"

Slamming the BJP for playing politics, the AAP has claimed Jain has a vertebrae disc injury for which he needs physiotherapy or acupressure treatment.
Sharing a "medical report", AAP has put up a tweet which reads, "LOWEST-LEVEL OF POLITICS BY BJP! @SatyendarJain has an L5-S1 vertebrae disc injury Doctor recommended Regular Physiotherapy/Acupressure Treatment BJP is losing MCD & Gujarat elections so they illegally released his video, calling it ‘VIP treatment’."
