'Will give answers with honesty as I didn’t do anything wrong': Arvind Kejriwal

New Delhi/IBNS: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday said he will answer the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)'s questions with all honesty ahead of his visit to the central agency's office. 

“I will go there today and give all the answers with honesty as I did not do anything wrong,” he said.

The CBI has started questioning Kejriwal in connection with the Delhi excise policy case.

Kejriwal, in a digital message, took a swipe at the ruling BJP and alleged that they are very powerful, and can put anyone in jail whether a person does anything or not.

“They threaten everyone to follow their orders otherwise put in jail,” alleged Kejriwal.

“Now do whatever you want. You can’t stop now. Now India will remain the number one country in the world,” said the CM.

He even claimed that the BJP might have also ordered the CBI to arrest him.

"The BJP, high on power, doesn't care about anyone. They arrogantly keep threatening everyone, be it politicians, judges, or the media, that they'll jail anyone who doesn't listen to them," he said.

Ahead of his visit to the CBI office, Kejriwal prayed at Delhi's Rajghat flanked by AAP leaders and his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann.

This is the first instance in recent times where a Chief Minister has been summoned by the central agency in an investigation.

Earlier the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) denied all charges against the party leaders as "vendetta" and efforts by the BJP, which governs at the centre, to target one of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's most vocal critics.

"Not a single leader of the AAP will be intimidated by these motivated charges. Many of our ministers, leaders and members have been targeted in the past. Our fight against the most corrupt government of PM Modi will go on," senior party leader Sanjay Singh said.

The CBI is probing allegations that the liquor policy implemented by the Delhi government last year, which ended government control over the sale of liquor in the capital, gave undue advantages to private retailers.

Manish Sisodia's arrest in February was the highest-profile arrest in the case so far.

The following month, the Enforcement Directorate arrested him while he was still in jail over allegations of money laundering in the case.
