	Jain&rsquo;s tenure as a Delhi minister has not been without controversies. Former AAP member Kapil Mishra had accused Jain of offering CM Arvind Kejriwal a bribe of Rs 2 crore. Kejriwal, along with Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, had vociferously refuted these allegations. Mishra had also alleged Jain&#39;s involvement in a Rs 400-crore water tanker scam.</div>

	Jain was also accused of nepotism and procedural misconduct by the Shunglu committee and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probed the recruitment of his daughter for supporting AAP&#39;s healthcare initiative. CBI gave him a clean chit after finding no instance of misconduct.</div>
