Delhi liquor policy: CBI arrests Delhi DY CM Manish Sisodia
New Delhi, February 26: Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Sunday arrested Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in connection with the liquor policy case.
The development comes after the Dy CM was questioned for eight hours by CBI.
The Deputy Chief Minister stated shortly before arriving at the CBI office for questioning that false cases are being filed against ruling party leaders because Prime Minister Narendra Modi is "afraid" of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
"Conspiracies are being hatched by the CBI and ED and false cases are being lodged against our party leaders because PM Narendra Modi is afraid of CM Arvind Kejriwal's rising popularity. As AAP grows further, BJP will continue to slap false cases on us. We are not afraid of the CBI, ED and their false cases," Sisodia stated.
He claimed that the Prime Minister, while not afraid of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, was terrified of the AAP.
"Everyone says that only AAP will rid the country of the BJP in future. Modi-ji may not be scared of Rahul Gandhi but if there's one party that he is scared, it is the AAP. They will put me in jail, but we are not afraid. We will fight. Kejriwal is the only future leader of this country."
Earlier in Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers were heard chanting "Modi Mar Gaya" slogans outside Fatehpur Beri Police Station in support of Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.
