New Delhi, Jan 5 (PTI): Citing "reliable sources", Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Monday claimed that a raid by the CBI is going to be conducted at party leader Manish Sisodia's house in the next few days.

Kejriwal's accusation comes ahead of the elections for Delhi assembly's 70 seats due next month. The Election Commission is likely to announce the poll schedule in the near future. All the three major political parties -- AAP, BJP, and the Congress -- have declared candidates for some constituencies and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has addressed the Delhi people twice in the first week of the New Year.

No immediate reaction was available from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) over the claim made by the former Delhi chief minister.

In a post in Hindi on X, the AAP convener further claimed that the BJP is going to lose the assembly polls, and the raid and future arrests would be an outcome the party's desperation.

मैंने कुछ दिन पहले बोला था कि दिल्ली CM आतिशी जी को गिरफ्तार किया जाएगा और “आप” के कुछ नेताओं पर रेड होगी।

विश्वस्त सूत्रों के मुताबिक मनीष सिसोदिया जी के घर अगले कुछ दिनों में सीबीआई रेड होगी।

बीजेपी दिल्ली चुनाव हार रही है। ये गिरफ्तारियां और रेड उनकी बौखलाहट का नतीजा है।…

No immediate reaction was available from the BJP either over the AAP leader's claim.

Kejriwal said he had recently stated that Delhi Chief Minister Atishi would be arrested and raids would be conducted against some AAP leaders.

"AAP is a diehard honest party," he asserted.
