Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party chief, Arvind Kejriwal has slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the inclusion of his name in an FIR in connection with the alleged water tanker scam. Kejriwal on Monday said that he is “glad” that Modi has “accepted his directed fight” with him.
Kejriwal Takes the Fight to Twitter
In a series of tweets, Kejriwal claimed that the Modi government has been targeting him instead of registering FIR against likes of Sonia Gandhi in any case, and asserted that he is not afraid of the “CBI and ACB of Modi”.
Kejriwal’s comments come after a case was registered by Delhi’s Anti-Corruption Branch on Monday in connection with the alleged 400-crore water tanker scam. The complaint links former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit with the scam.
ACB chief MK Meena said two complaints were received with regard to the scam and those named in the complaints include Dikshit and Kejriwal. He said both Dikshit and Kejriwal will be quizzed.
Last week, Delhi’s Water Minister Kapil Mishra had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Delhi’s Lt Governor Najeeb Jung recommending either CBI or ACB probe against Dikshit in connection with alleged scam.
