NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday alleged that his office had been raided by the CBI and directed an extraordinarily sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him a “coward and psychopath”.
The agency CBI denies raiding or sealing the Chief Minister’s office and claims that it was searching the office and home of a senior bureaucrat in the Chief Minister’s team, Rajender Kumar, accused of corruption in computer purchases.
The agency claims it has seized about Rs.1.3 million cash in raids today, including Rs. 0.24m from Rajender Kumar’s home.
Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee tweeted: “Sealing of a Chief Minister’s office is unprecedented. I am shocked.”
Kejriwal, retweeting her comment, said it was “undeclared emergency.”
Kejriwal accused the finance minister of “lying”.
The BJP – and some opposition parties – deplored Kejriwal’s words against the PM.
