AAP demands disclosure of names involved in EWS admission scam

New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party on Wednesday demanded from the Congress, the BJP and Delhi Police that they make public the names of a former Congress minister and a former BJP legislator allegedly involved in the EWS admission scam.

"I appeal to the Congress, the BJP and Delhi Police to make public the names of the politicians involved in this scam so that the residents of this city know whom they had voted for," Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Dilip Pandey said at a press conference here.

The demand came after Prince, one of the masterminds behind the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) admission scam, surrendered himself before the Rohini Court on Tuesday.

Pandey said during his interrogation, Prince "revealed that an ex-Congress minister and a former BJP MLA were also a part of the scam".

"This scam was not possible without any political assistance," Pandey added.

Pandey, however, also lauded Delhi Police for taking action against those involved in the scam.
