PM Modi should concentrate on governance, not snooping: Arvind Kejriwal

Launching a tirade against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said he should focus on governance, which is "suffering" under NDA, rather than "snooping" on opponents.

Kejriwal also attacked the CBI alleging that its officers are directing Delhi government officials on awarding contracts to companies. Kejriwal took on Modi over reports that the premier investigative agency is questioning officials of the city administration in a case against Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar.

In a series of tweets, Kejriwal dared Modi to form a "team" if the latter wants information about him.

Can the Prime Minister explain this? CBI reports directly to him. What does PM want? https://t.co/Jz3vcnYKSw

The agency had earlier firmly refuted Kejriwal's allegation that it did not follow proper procedure for summoning his officials.

Rubbishing his claim that the officials were called for questioning over phone, CBI sources had said all necessary formalities were done through correspondence.

CBI sources said the questioning of personal staff of the Chief Minister's Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar by the agency was approved by Kejriwal himself as mentioned in a written correspondence from the Delhi Secretariat yesterday.
