New Delhi: Congress on Wednesday sought to corner the Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi over the alleged raid by Central Bureau Agency (CBI) in Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's office questioning why it kept sitting over the DDCA file related to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.
"Why did AAP keep sitting over the alleged DDCA file related to Arun Jaitley for all this while? They have much explaining to do," Congress leader Ajay Maken said in the Delhi Assembly.
Attacking Jaitley, Maken said that the Finance Minister must come clean on the issue as he was heading the DDCA when the alleged irregularities took place in the cricketing body.
Meanwhile, Kejriwal on Wednesday said that the CBI seized documents that had "no relation" to the allegations being probed against Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted a raid on Tuesday.
"Docs seized from my office. No relation to allegations being probed. CBI kept reading DDCA file in my office. They wud hv seized it. But after my media briefing, they left it. Not clear if they took a copy," Kejriwal said in a series of tweets on Wednesday.
He also attacked Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, asking why he was scared of a probe into the alleged irregularities at the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA).
"FM lied in the Parliament yesterday…. Why is Jaitley ji so scared of DDCA probe? What is his role in DDCA scam?" he tweeted.
The CBI had searched the office of Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar in connection with a corruption case where the officer allegedly abused his position to award contracts to a particular firm.
