Delhi liquor policy scam: CBI raids on AAP leaders ploy to finish Arvind Kejriwal, says Raghav Chadha

New Delhi: AAP MP Raghav Chadha on Friday said that the popularity of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has rattled the Narendra Modi-led Centre which has unleashed agencies like CBI on the AAP leaders to finish him.

The CBI on Friday carried out searches at the residences of Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and IAS officer Arava Gopi Krishna besides at 19 other locations after registering an FIR in connection with the Delhi excise policy case.

The CBI has registered the FIR in connection with the alleged irregularities in formulation and execution of the Delhi Excise Policy brought in November last year.

"Seeing the public support and rising popularity of Arvind Kejriwal, the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are scared. They've unleashed agencies like CBI on our people and leaders. There is only one goal - finish Kejriwal," said Chadha.

He said that the Centre is going all out to destroy Delhi government's models of health and education and arrest ministers so that Kejriwal model is finished.

"We used to speak of 2 models - education and healthcare. To stop this, Health Minister Satyendar Jain was jailed and they're preparing to jail Manish Sisodia too. They want to destroy our models of health and education and arrest ministers so that Kejriwal model is destroyed," said the AAP MP.

When asked about BJP leaders Kapil Mishra's allegation that the news about Delhi model of education on the front page of New York Times was paid, he said, "It's laughable. No news of any BJP leader was ever printed there. BJP calls itself the biggest party in the world. It's the richest political party. They should appear on New York Times' front page daily if someone can buy them."

Chaddha said the CBI had found nothing in past raids and would find nothing today as well.

"They raided Arvind Kejriwal, found four mufflers. And all they will find in Manish Sisodia's home are pencils, notebooks and geometry boxes," he added.

He said more than 100 AAP leaders were falsely charged and "one by one we were absolved in every case".
