A day after CBI raid, Kejriwal points finger at Arun Jaitley over DDCA irregularities
A day after the CBI conducted a raid in the offices at the Delhi secretariat, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said the files seized from his office have no relation whatsoever to the allegations being probed.
He pointed fingers at Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who was the president of the Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA) for some time.
“CBI kept reading DDCA file in my office. They wud hv seized it. But after my media briefing, they left it. Not clear if they took a copy,” wrote Kejriwal on Twitter.
He also took potshots at the FM asking why he was scared of a probe into the alleged irregularities at the DDCA.
Why is Jaitley ji so scared of DDCA probe? What is his role in DDCA scam?— Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) December 16, 2015
The CBI had searched the office of Principal Secretary Rajender Kumar in connection with a corruption case where the officer has allegedly abused his position to award contracts to a particular firm.
The raid had major political ramifications when Kejriwal alleged that it was conducted at the behest of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who’s currently away on a visit to Kerala. The CM went on to call PM Modi a ‘coward and a psychopath.’
The issue was raised by Trinamool Congress leaders in Parliament as well where they said the government was trying to disrupt the functioning of state government and breaking the rules of cooperative federalism.
The BJP on its part has demanded Kejriwal’s apology for levelling baseless allegations against the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).

CBI registers a case against Delhi CM's Principal Secretary Rajender Kumar and 6 others on allegations of criminal conspiracy and criminal misconduct.
His (Arvind Kejriwal) morning statement appeared to be prima facie incorrect, but evening one seems to be absolute rubbish: Arun Jaitley
And I don't think I need to respond to rubbish: Arun Jaitley on Delhi CM's allegations against him.
