Delhi transport minister Gopal Rai resigns
New Delhi, Jun 14 (IBNS): Delhi Transport Minister Gopal Rai resigned on Tuesday citing health issues, according to media reports.
Health minister Satyendra Jain has been given additional charge of the transport ministry.
Gopal Rai got mired in the app-based premium bus service scam after it was alleged that the scheme was floated to favour a particular company.
The premium bus service, which was rolled out in May, had to be withdrawn when Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, Najeeb Jung voiced his suspicion about special treatment to one company, media reported.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal asked Gopal Rai to present himself at the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) with all relevant papers, according to media reports.
On Monday, Gopal Rai said that he was prepared to go to jail if charges of corruption were proved.
