Amid charges and counter-charges, Kejriwal claimed his office was raided which was denied by CBI as well as Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in Rajya Sabha where the opposition created an uproar. The chief minister claimed he was in fact the target and that Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar was just an excuse, as per PTI.


The AAP chief in a stern warning to Modi also thundered that he is not going to be cowed down by any CBI raid. "I'm telling you Modiji, you may have scared others but I'm not among those who can be intimidated. I'll fight till my last breath."


"When Modi cudn't handle me politically, he resorts to this cowardice. Modi is a coward and psychopath," he said, sparking an angry condemnation from a furious BJP which demanded an apology from the chief minister for his "disgraceful" remarks.
