New Delhi:
Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who has been called for questioning today by the CBI in the excise policy case, has linked the summons to the upcoming assembly elections in Gujarat. The senior AAP leader, repeating his party’s claim yesterday, alleged he would be arrested as a part of the BJP’s plan to stop him from campaigning in the poll-bound state.
“I was to go to Gujarat for the election campaign in the coming days. These people are losing Gujarat badly. Their purpose is to stop me from going to the Gujarat election campaign, tweeted Mr Sisodia.
The federal probe agency has asked the AAP leader to appear before it at its headquarters in Delhi at 11 am today.
Reacting to the summons, the AAP claimed that Mr Sisodia would be arrested today and alleged the move was initiated in view of the forthcoming assembly elections in Gujarat where it is in a direct contest with the BJP.
