Sisodia Slams Centre As CBI Continues Crackdown On AAP
As the CBI began questioning the accused in the Delhi excise policy 'corruption' case in which he has been named, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday claimed it was ploy by the BJP which 'fears' Arvind Kejriwal and the 2024 Lok Sabha polls will be a battle between the AAP chief and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The BJP hit back, alleging that Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal was the "kingpin" in the "liquor scam" and the Aam Aadmi Party was trying to divert attention from its corruption by linking the CBI action to politics. It asserted that Modi would improve his tally in the next general election as he did in 2019.
A day after the CBI raid against him, Sisodia, at a press conference, expressed apprehension that the agency or the ED may arrest him in the next 3-4 days and alleged that it was part of the "script to stop Kejriwal who has emerged as a national alternative" to Modi.
