Arvind Kejriwal points fingers at Arun Jaitley over alleged DDCA irregularities
They would have seized it. But after my media briefing, they left it. Unaware if they took a copy of the same documents from my office.
In another tweet, he wrote, “Why is Jaitley ji so scared of DDCA probe?”
AAP spokesperson Ashutosh had tweeted, “When AAP Govt investigates DDCA, Jaitley gets nervous, CBI raids CM office to scuttle investigation”.
MUST WATCH.Arvind Kejriwal shares some important facts about the CBI’s raid at his office today!
India’s Finance Minister Arun Jaitley told the upper house of parliament that the “raid has nothing to do with Mr Kejriwal”.
Kejriwal was referring to Rajendra Kumar, who is the secretary to the Delhi chief minister.
Javadekar alleged this is actually as a sitting Chief Minister is shielding corruption, the worst scenario Delhi has witnessed. Commenting on the highly controversial raid, he wrote that the manner in which the raid has been conducted raises several questions over the neutrality of the CBI and its intentions. “(Ye file hai DDCA ka file jiske andar Arun Jaitley phas rahe hain)”, the Delhi Chief Minister claimed.
TMC leader Sudip Bandyopadhyay said the raids had “perturbed” them and rejected the government’s claim that CBI was an “independent body”, claiming that the agency could not have acted without the Prime Minister’s knowledge. “You apologise to the nation for your misdeeds and I will apologise for my words”, Kejriwal said on Tuesday evening after the BJP attack on him for his strong words against Modi.
The agency’s action yesterday evoked sharp reaction from Kejriwal who accused it of searching files “unrelated” to the probe against his Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar and claimed that a file relating to DDCA was scrutinised by it.
“The former Chief Minister of Gujurat and the present Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused CBI as quoted the “Congress Bureau of Investigation” instead of Central Bureau of Investigation” in Gandhinagar on Jun 2013 once central government was led by Congress”. A CBI spokesperson, however, said the searches were being conducted only at the office of Kumar, a senior IAS officer.
The case, registered against Kumar and six others on December 14, centres around the bureaucrat’s role in allegedly favouring a particular firm in getting government tenders worth Rs 9.5 crore during 2007-14. CBI has also so far failed to establish any clear quid pro-quo between Kumar and the private companies that were awarded the contracts.
