In fresh trouble for the Aam Aadmi Party, the Income Tax Department on Wednesday raided the farm house and offices of MLA Kartar Singh Tanwar.
Soon after, AAP Convener Dilip Pandey took to Twitter and said, "JustIn: IT raid on Chhatarpur MLA Kartar Singh Tanwar. ModiJi had unleashed CBI, ACB, DP earlier, now IT too AAP wont bow down, won't bend."
Tanwar is AAP MLA from Chhatarpur.
“Disheartened by his past performance, Modi Ji seems to be improving his strike rate now. Almost one AAP MLA every day, to keep democratic principles away,” he posted in another tweet.

Reacting to raids, former AAP's founding member, Prashant Bhushan, tweeted that he had opposed Tanwar’s MLA nomination.

Last week, AAP suffered a shocker with Delhi Police arresting Okhla MLA Amanatullah Khan for allegedly trying to run over a woman with his car and Punjab Police Naresh Yadav in an alleged case of sacrilege in Malerkotla.
AAP has hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying this is a "proof" of his frustration.
AAP legislators arrested in various cases
Amanatullah Khan – molesting and threatening a woman
Prakash Jarwal –misbehaving with a woman
Dinesh Mohaniya –misbehaving with a woman and a senior citizen
Somnath Bharti –domestic violence
Jitendra Tomar –faking education degree
Akhilesh Tripathi –rioting, criminal intimidation
Manoj Kumar –forgery in land grabbing case
Commando Surinder Singh –assaulting govt employee
Mahendra Yadav –rioting, assaulting govt employee
