Kejrival annoyed with IT raids on his minister’s 16 locations, calls it a political vendetta ?

The Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejrival seems to be too furious and annoyed over the income tax raids on his transport minister Kailash Gehlot’s residence and 16 locations in Delhi and Gurugram this morning compelling him to tweet in Hindi as well as in English asking the prime minister Narendra Modi to apologise. In a tweet in Hindi chief minister Kejrival has written: Nirav Modi aur Mallya se dosti aur hum par raid? Friendship with Nirav Modi and Maalya, and raid on us?

Modiji , aapne mujhpe, Satyendra pe aur Manish pe bhi to raid karvayi thi ? Unka kya hua ? Kuch mila? Nahi mila ? To agli raid karne se pehle Dilli waalon se unki chuni hui sarkaar ko nirantar pareshan karne ke liye maafi to maang lijiye?

Modiji, You conducted raids on me, on Satyendra Jain and Manish as well ? What happened to those raids? Did you get anything? Nothing was found ? So at least ask for apology from the Delhi people for constantly troubling the duly elected Delhi government ?

It may be recalled that since morning the news is pouring in that 19 locations, residents and offices of Delhi’s Najafgarh based MLA n now minister Transport, government of Delhi Kailash Gehlot have been raided by over 30 to 60 IT sleuths in some cases of tax evation related to his two companies, one related to construction and other connected with finance etc.

Kailash Gehlot is an MLA from Nazafgarh who was included in the council of minister as Transport minister about two years ago. Sources reveal that there had already been cases allegedly registered against the minister’s two firms/ companies regarding tax evasion and the raids were the sequel to those investigations.

It may be recalled that Delhi being just the national capital territory does not possess the status of a full fledged state with police, land, revenue etc with the central government.

In the recent past there had been raids against Satyendra Jain, the health minister, CM’s office and against the deputy CM. A case has also been registered against the Delhi Commission for Women pertaining to irregularities in appointments etc.

The Delhi CM is already allegedly involved in the assault of the Delhi chief secretary Anshul Prakash alongwith two MLAs at his house in the midnight few months ago and the matter is subjudice.

Some of his earlier ministers were involved in fake degree case and sexual molestation, having resigned from the cabinet imcluding cases against several other MLAs going on.

The Delhi state government and the centre have been on the fighting mode always, sometimes on LG issue, sometimes on lack of central budget, sometimes on turning down of the state’s pro peoole recommendations to the centre for approval via LG and sometimes, pertaining to actions by the Delhi police and the income tax authorities who happen to be under the centre’s charge.

Delhi CM Arvind Kejrival who is considered to be the arch BJP and PM Narendra Modi rival is trying hard to bring the PM’s strict opponents/ bete noires, Shatrughan Sinha and Yashwant Sinha, both union ministers in Vajpayee’s cabinet, into AAP’s fold and had already requested them to contest from Delhi’s two constituencies on AAP’s ticket. Both the Sinhas’ had already addressed a meeting in favour of Delhi CM n his party AAP and lauded his policies and achivement in the public, fully.
