While addressing the AAP supporters gathered outside the jail, Jain said all stalled work in Delhi will be completed now as AAP's jailed leaders are out.
"Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh and I have come out of jail, and we will complete all the stalled work in Delhi...Kejriwal had promised to clean the River Yamuna. Based on his promise, we were working day and night...I was arrested to stop this," Jain said.
"Will work for common man, continue to fight against injustice," Jain added.
Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, Sisodia, and Sanjay Singh were among those, who welcomed Jain upon his release from jail.

While taking a dig at BJP, Jain said Atishi, who is the CM of Delhi, would also have to go to prison.
AAP hailed the court's decision and described it as a victory of truth and the defeat of another BJP "conspiracy".
AAP chief and former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal said Jain's fault was that he built Mohalla clinics and made health services free for the people of Delhi. "Modi ji put him in jail so that Mohalla clinics could be stopped...preventing free treatment for the poor."
Welcoming the court's verdict, Sisodia said that Jain was kept in jail over "false" and "baseless allegations". Jain's house was raised four times. "Police couldn't find anything, yet he was kept in jail in a false case under PMLA," Sisodia said.
Jain was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on May 30, 2022, on the charge of laundering money through four companies allegedly linked to him.
