Manish Sisodia (born 5 January 1972) is an Indian politician, journalist and former social activist who served as the first Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi from 2015 to 2023. He is currently imprisoned over allegations of corruption. He represents the Patparganj constituency in Delhi Legislative Assembly since 2015 and had also represented the constituency from 2013 to 2014.[1][2] He has been in custody since February 2023 on corruption charges in a major Delhi liquor scam. He is one of the founding members of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and a member of its National Executive Committee.
Sisodia was a cabinet minister in the Government of Delhi between December 2013 and February 2014 and continued to hold several cabinet positions after becoming the deputy Chief minister, including the portfolio of Education Minister through which he credited for reforming and overhauling the public education sector in Delhi.[3]
He resigned from the post of Deputy Chief Minister and all cabinet positions following his arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), on corruption charges in a major liquor scam.[4] There are counter-allegations against the Central Government and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party of misusing investigative agencies such as the CBI and ED to target their political opposition none of which have been proved,[5] and Sisodia is one of several politicians with cases against them.[5][6] The Supreme Court however, held that the transfer of money of 338 crores is tentatively established and denied bail to Manish Sisodia.[7]
