Modi govt trying to paralyse Delhi CM's office: AAP
New Delhi, July 4 (IBNS): With the CBI arresting Arvind Kejriwal's Principal Secretary Rajinder Kumar on alleged corruption charges, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Monday alleged that the Centre is trying to paralyse the Delhi government.
"There is a conspiracy to paralyse the CM office - Pr and Dy Secy to CM arrested, Asst Secy transferred to Andaman. All in one day!," Manish Sisodia tweeted.
Four others were also arrested by the probe agency.
Giving details on the arrest, CBI Spokesperson RK Gowda told media: "Allegations related to bribery and abuse of position are against them."
He said all the arrested people will be produced in the court on Tuesday.
Reacting to the arrest, Sisodia told media: "This is the lowest the Centre has stooped to."
The Aam Aadmi Party also also alleged that, "Within days of Arvind Kejriwal's visits to Punjab & Goa, Modi Government has taken desperate steps to destabilize the Delhi Govt.#DartaModi."
"Several of Delhi Govt's top officers in charge of big development projects have been transferred overnight by the Modi Govt. #DartaModi," the party tweeted.
It further charged that: "The ACB that was snatched by the Modi Govt from Delhi Govt is being used to investigate our Ministers, instead of Sheila Dixit! #DartaModi."
