Kejriwal again! Delhi CM targets PM Modi; alleges next raid may be on Manish Sisodia and Satyendra Jain

NEW DELHI: Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday alleged that his key ministers Manish Sisodia and Satyendra Jain will be raided next by the Centre. Claiming to having received information from “sources” in the Prime Minister’s Office, Kejriwal said officials serving under the two ministers were being pressurised to “get something wrong signed by them”.

“PMO Sources — Next raid on Manish or Satyendra (sic). Officers under them being pressurised to get something wrong signed from them,” said Kejriwal. The claim was then followed by an attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself. “Modji, do as you please, the truth and god are with us. You can’t hurt us,” said Kejriwal. He was speaking on a day when officials in the Delhi Secretariat were going through the documents returned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which the agency took after raiding Kejriwal’s office late last month.

Early evening, while speaking on the success of odd-even formula, Kejriwal refused to divulge more. “Many big conspiracies have been plotted against us in the past during the Anna movement, and after we formed government here. Our only strength is transparency and truth. Modi government has been interfering in everything related with our government,” he said, without revealing the sources.

The Delhi CM also praised government officials and citizens for making the odd and even scheme a success and said a review meeting will be held to fine-tune it. “There is a positive impact on air quality. We will have a review meeting on Monday to discuss improvements for the scheme,” he said.

Kejriwal specially thanked the judiciary for backing the plan despite a petition challenging the claims of the scheme to help curb the pollution levels.
