Stop snooping on me, Kejriwal tells Modi

Referring to to the CBI raids at Delhi Secretariat, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday and asked him to “concentrate on governance, which is suffering badly under the NDA, rather than snooping on opponents”.

Kejriwal asked the Prime Minister to set up a team to inquire about him.“PM shud concentrate on governance, which is suffering badly under NDA, rather than snooping on opponents. PM wants info abt me? Let PM set up a team. I will come n answer all their questions. I hv nothing to hide,” he tweeted. 

Kejriwal also asked the PM to explain why the Central Bureau of Investigation reports to him. “Can the Prime Minister explain this? CBI reports directly to him. What does PM want?” he tweeted. 

Earlier in the day, Kejriwal met Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu and discussed the better utilisation of Ring Rail for the convenience of people who travel on its circular network. “It has good infrastructure which is not being utilised properly.

We discussed that better facilities should be provided at Ring Rail’s all the 21 stations,” Kejriwal said.

“Also, the stations close to Delhi Metro station can be given adequate last mile connectivity services,” he added. 

Kejriwal and Prabhu also discussed the rehabilitation of jhuggis which are located on the railway land and the construction of foot-over bridges to ease traffic movement.

Earlier this month, Kejriwal had alleged the CBI was summoning officials for questioning over phone without following the procedure. The CBI had refuted the allegations saying all necessary formalities were taken into consideration before approaching the officials. 

Kejriwal’s Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar is facing a corruption probe over alleged wrongdoings during pre-Aam Aadmi Party government years. CBI sources had said then the questioning of personal staff of the Chief Minister’s Principal Secretary Kumar by the agency was approved by Kejriwal as mentioned in written correspondence with Delhi Secretariat.

A few months ago, when the CBI raided Kumar’s office at the Secretariat on the allegations of corruption, it had sparked a controversy with Kejriwal claiming that the “real” target was him.
