15 Dec 2015 Evaluate

Accusing Delhi chief minister of giving the news of CBI raids a political colour, BJP's Ravi Shankar Prasad questioned Arvind Kejriwal for defending a person who is facing serious allegations. CBI on Tuesday raided the office of Delhi CM's Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar. He said that ‘Should we presume that you did not undertake any due diligence while appointing your secretary? CBI must be allowed to do its work in a free and fair manner’.

Slamming Kejriwal for calling PM Narendra Modi a coward and psychopath, Ravi Shankar Prasad said that he should apologize to PM for using words like coward. It's totally uncalled for, unwarranted and shameful. Replying to the Delhi CM's claims, Ravi Shankar Prasad said that CBI has already clarified Delhi CM's office has not been raided. CBI has raided after proper search warrant from the court. There is no law that states that Kejriwal should have been informed about the raids.

CBI officials told that it has registered a case against Rajendra Kumar, Secretary to the Delhi CM, on the allegation of abusing his official position by favouring a particular firm in the last few years in getting tenders from Delhi government departments. After taking warrants, searches are being conducted in the office and residence of Kumar. The allegation against Kumar were raised by Ashish Joshi, member Secy, Delhi dialogue Commission. kumar is former member secretary. Joshi had filed the same case in the past with the Anti-Corruption Branch of the Delhi government, too. However, in its fallout, ACB Chief M K Meena himself has had his position diminished due to allegations and complaints against him.
