Reacting to Jain's arrest, AAP National Media In-charge Anurag Dhanda accused the BJP of political vendetta and claimed that Jain was being targeted because he is the party's co-in-charge for Punjab, where elections are due.
Dhanda questioned Jain's involvement in the tender process, pointing out that the tender was issued in October 2022, while Jain had been in jail since May that year in connection with a separate case.

असली वजह ये है कि सत्येंद्र जैन पंजाब के सह प्रभारी हैं और पंजाब में चुनाव आ रहा है।

टेंडर अक्टूबर 2022 में हुआ और सत्येंद्र जैन जी को बीजेपी ने फर्जी केस में मई 2022 से ही जेल में डाल रखा था।

बिना सिर पैर का राजनैतिक द्वेष की वजह से की गई साज़िश है क्योंकि पंजाब में चुनाव लड़ के बीजेपी सामना नहीं कर सकती। इसलिए सह प्रभारी को गिरफ्तार कर लिया। https://t.co/OrQ65yDCnW pic.twitter.com/vP7e3nJe0B
He alleged that Jain's arrest was part of a "baseless conspiracy" driven by political motives, claiming that the BJP was apprehensive about facing the AAP in the upcoming Punjab elections.
Dhanda further accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP of targeting Jain for political reasons, saying the arrest was linked to his role as AAP's Punjab co-in-charge. He also alleged that Jain had been kept in jail by the BJP since May 2022 in what he described as a "fake case."
