Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted this morning that his office had been raided by the CBI and directed an unprecedented attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him a “coward and psychopath”. The CBI has denied that they raided or sealed the Chief Minister’s office. The investigating agency claimed that they were searching the office of a senior bureaucrat who was caught taking bribe last week.

AAP, however, has declared war on the Centre. “This is an undeclared state of emergency. The Modi government wants to turn our country into a police state where there are no civil rights,” said AAP leader Ashish Khetan. Mr Kejriwal and other members of the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) were stopped from entering their offices by a CBI team at the Delhi Secretariat.
Raids are still on at the Chief Minister’s office on the third floor, say sources. AAP claims that the CBI refused to give any reason.Mr Kejriwal is believed to be in a huddle with his deputy Manish Sisodia and other senior AAP leaders.Since AAP took power in February after winning a massive mandate in Delhi, it has been locked in a running feud with the Centre over the control of important functions like law and order, police and land.
