Delhi water tanker scam: After ACB files FIR, Kejriwal says 'Modi has accepted his fight is directly with me'

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal took to Twitter to attack PM Modi after ACB filed an FIR against him in the Delhi water tanker scam case.

New Delhi: Targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his name being included in an FIR in connection with the alleged tanker scam, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday "welcomed" the same and said he was "glad" that the former has finally accepted that "his fight is directly with" the AAP leader.

Taking to Twitter, Kejriwal also claimed that the Modi government has been targeting him instead of registering FIR against likes of Sonia Gandhi in any case, and asserted that he is not afraid of the "CBI and ACB of Modi".

सरफ़रोशी की तमन्ना, अब हमारे दिल में है
देखना है ज़ोर कितना बाज़ुए कातिल में है

मोदी जी, आपकी CBI, ACB वगैरा से हम नहीं डरते।

"I am glad that you have admitted that your fight is directly with me," he said in a series of tweets.

मुझे ख़ुशी है आपने स्वीकार किया कि आपकी लड़ाई सीधे मुझसे है।(3/3)

सारी जांच एजेंसी आपके अंडर-CBI, पुलिस, ACB. सबको आपने मेरे पीछे छोड़ रखा। मुझ पर CBI रेड की। कुछ नहीं मिला। अब आपकी FIR का स्वागत है(2/3)

Kejriwal's reactions came after a case was registered by Delhi's Anti-Corruption Branch in connection with the alleged 400-crore water tanker scam linking former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Monday.

ACB chief MK Meena said two complaints were received with regard to the scam and those named in the complaints include Dikshit and Kejriwal. He said both Dikshit and Kejriwal will be quizzed.
