'PM Modi After AAP, But God Is With Us': Kejriwal After ED's Fresh Crackdown On Satyendar Jain

Kejriwal's tweets came as the Enforcement Directorate continued with its crackdown on Delhi minister Satyendar Jain and other AAP leaders in an alleged money laundering case.

Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Kejriwal once again slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday and accused the Centre of using central agencies to frame AAP and its governments in Delhi and Punjab. Kejriwal took to micro-blogging site Twitter and dubbed the charges against Delhi minister Satyendar Jain as a 'lie'.

Kejriwal's tweets came as the Enforcement Directorate continued with its crackdown on Jain and other AAP leaders in an alleged money laundering case. On Monday, ED seized cash worth Rs 2.85 crore and 133 gold coins after raids were conducted at the premises of Jain and his alleged associates. 

"At this time, the prime minister is after the Aam Aadmi Party with all his power, especially the governments of Delhi and Punjab. Lie after lie, lie after lie," Kejriwal tweeted in Hindi. "You (PM) have the power of all the agencies but God is with us," he added.

After the raids, the ED said that cash and coins were 'unexplained' and were kept in a 'secret' place. ED had conducted a day-long raid on June 6 where the money and gold coins were found. The probe agency also made the images of raid public.

The 57-year-old Delhi minister Jain was arrested by ED on May 30 under the criminal sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and will remain in ED custody till June 9.

The case is in connection with an August 2017 FIR filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against the Delhi minister and others on charges of alleged possession of disproportionate assets. 

In Kejriwal-led Delhi cabinet, Jain handles several portfolios, including health, power, home, PWD, industries, urban development, flood, irrigation and water.
