There are now five ministers in the Delhi cabinet, including Arvind Kejriwal.

New Delhi:

Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain, arrested Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders, quit the Delhi cabinet today.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has accepted their resignation and may soon carry out a cabinet shuffle to bring in new ministers.

Manish Sisodia has been in charge of 18 ministries, including the health portfolio of Satyendar Jain, who has been in jail for 10 months.

Mr Sisodia was arrested on Sunday in the Delhi liquor policy case.

The resignations came soon after the BJP questioned why arrested leaders were still in the Delhi government.
