Fri Sep 27 16:25:22 UTC 2024: ## Kejriwal Accuses Modi of Using CBI and ED for Political Gains
**New Delhi:** Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of misusing the CBI and ED for political gains. Addressing the Delhi Legislative Assembly on Friday, Kejriwal alleged that the PM uses these agencies to intimidate and bribe politicians, particularly those who join the BJP after being accused of corruption.
Kejriwal pointed to the appointment of Ajit Pawar as Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra despite allegations of corruption against him. “The PM labels someone corrupt and then appoints them to a high position,” he said. “There are 25 such ‘gems’ in the PM’s collection.” He also criticized the BJP for its handling of corruption allegations, stating, “Do they feel no shame?”
Kejriwal also mentioned a letter he wrote to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, questioning the RSS’s stance on the PM’s actions. He questioned Bhagwat’s opinion on the PM’s strategy of incorporating alleged corrupt politicians into the BJP, stating that Modi uses intimidation and bribery to persuade them to join the party.
Kejriwal’s accusations come after his recent release on bail in connection with the Delhi liquor policy case. Since then, he and other AAP leaders have been critical of the BJP and the central government, accusing them of political vendetta.
