Targeting Modi, Kejriwal Says His Ministers May Be Raided

Darpan News Desk IANS, 15 Jan, 2016 12:09 PM
    Central agencies are planning to raid his ministers, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal alleged on Friday, adding Prime Minister Narendra Modi was trying to "fail us".
     
    Quoting "PMO sources", Kejriwal tweeted that the raids may be conducted on Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia - known to be the Aam Aadmi Party leader's most trusted confidant - or Health Minister Satyendra Jain.
     
    "Officers under them being pressurized to get something wrong signed from them," he said.
     
    In another tweet but in Hindi, Kejriwal added: "Modiji, do what you want. Truth is on our side. God is with us. You can't do any damage to us."
     
    Later, during a press conference on the odd-even traffic curbs, Kejriwal said the Modi government was "trying its level best to fail us".
     
    "But they won't succeed because our strengths are truth and honesty."
     
    The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) raided the Delhi Secretariat on December 16, accusing the principal secretary to Kejriwal of corruption. Kejriwal said the CBI searched his office too. The CBI denied this.
