Latching onto a new survey's findings on corruption in Delhi Police, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today stepped up attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he should "stop being stubborn" and hand over police and Anti-Corruption Branch to AAP government.

In a series of tweets, Kejriwal claimed the survey findings raised questions on Modi's "capabilities and intentions" while they had shown that corruption has come down in Delhi government, which "proved" AAP government's intentions and administration capability.

"Second finding- corruption has come down in delhi govt -it proves AAP govt's neeyat n admn capability.

"Modi ji stop being stubborn, work with us. Hand over ACB and police to Delhi Government. We will deliver in a year," the Chief Minister tweeted.

According to media reports, the study conducted by Centre for Media Studies (CMS) - India Corruption Study 2015, shows 45 percent of residents surveyed found reduction in corruption across departments of Delhi Government vis-à-vis those of Central Government.

Close to a third of Delhi residents reportedly paid bribe at least once in last one year.
