Delhi minister and AAP leader Satyendar Jain was recently seen getting a massage in Delhi’s Tihar Jail in a viral video on Saturday. Soon after the video started taking round on internet, BJP took jibe on Jain calling this as AAP’s hypocrisy on ‘VIP culture’.

Jain who was arrested in May in a money laundering case is going through physiotherapy for a spinal injury said Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia while defending him during a press conference.

Addressing mediapersons, Sisodia said: “Jain had sustained injury to his spine and that led to pinched nerve. He was also admitted to hospital.”

“He (Jain) underwent two surgeries. The doctor had advised physiotherapy upon discharge and those videos show him getting physiotherapy,” he said.

The AAP leader further taunted out that anyone can suffer injury and fall ill but only the BJP can make “cruel jokes” by leaking CCTV footage of an injured person’s treatment.

“The Prime Minister of a country may also fall sick. Even they may require treatment,” he further added.

Lashing out at the saffron party, Sisodia claimed that his colleague had been lodged in a false case and that the BJP was making fun of Jain’s illness.

“They (BJP) are losing the MCD and Gujarat polls and that is why they are resorting to cheap theatrics. They should fight the MCD election in Delhi on issues,” he said.

Taking to Twiiter to react on massage video of Jain, Delhi BJP incharge Baijayant Panda said “This is AAP culture of giving VVIP treatment to those who are on wrong side of law! A tainted and jailed minister of AAP, denied bail five times, gets a massage inside Tihar jail. AAPsurdity at its peak. Shame Panda.”

Another BJP leader Amit Malviya said, “Arvind Kejriwal has reduced Tihar to a massage parlour. His jailed minister Satyendar Jain would get a masseur, who would, in violation of all jail rules, indulge the inmate, because of his proximity to the Delhi CM. Delhi Govt manages Tihar. These corrupt people came to change the Indian Politics.”

BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said, “So instead of Sazaa – Satyendar Jain was getting full VVIP Mazaa? Massage inside Tihar Jail? Hawalabaaz who hasn’t got bail for 5 months get head massage! Violation of rules in a jail run by AAP Govt. This is how official position abused for Vasooli & massage thanks to Kejriwal.”
