FIRs, raids cannot scare me, says Kejri

Vowing to fight injustice against Dalits, farmers and honest officers, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal targeted Prime Minister Narender Modi over registration of FIR against the former in the alleged water tanker scam.

Addressing mediapersons, Kejriwal said he alone has managed to stand up to the misdeeds of the Prime Minister who uses investigation agencies and FIRs to scare him or force him to fall silent on his wrongdoings.

“I will not bow before you or feel threatened or back off,” said an angry Kejriwal, who repeated his claim that Modi appears to see him as his main rival.

“I will die but not allow corruption or injustice,” said the Chief Minister, hinting that the Anti-Corruption Branch FIR registered against him on Monday in the Rs 400 crore alleged water tanker scam in the city would not succeed in silencing him.

The AAP leader also questioned Modi over his silence on getting FIRs filed against  Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi, her son Rahul and her son-in-law Robert Vadra despite his tall claims before elections.

“I am not Rahul Gandhi whom you can scare, I am not Sonia Gandhi whom you can force to bow and I am not Robert Vadra with whom you can have some setting,” said Kejriwal.

He also alleged that he was the only Chief Minister who was being target“You may order as many raids against me as you want. Why are there raids against me only. Why are there a no raids against Shivraj Chouhan, Vasundhara Raje or  Anandiben Patel?” asked Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal.  

The Chief Minister also questioned Modi why there was no FIR filed. He said he would stand up against injustice against farmers, goldsmiths or whenever there is a land scam like in Gujarat or whenever businessmen like Vijay Mallya dupe banks of Rs 7,000 crore or whenever BJP tries to shield the killers of honest officers like M M Khan of NDMC or when 100 %FDI is allowed in defence sector at the cost of compromising national security. Kejriwal said his frequent alleged harassment by Narender Modi through raids and FIRs showed that the Prime Minister considered him to be giving a direct fight.

“I will follow my path of truth and let PM do what he thinks is right,” he said, refusing to take any questions.
