The Narendra Modi government is “scared” of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s “growing popularity”, the AAP claimed on Friday after a CBI raid at Manish Sisodia’s Delhi residence while the BJP hit back with corruption allegations. 

The CBI raided 21 locations in seven states and UTs. The raids follow CBI’s FIR that allege irregularities in formulation and execution of the Delhi Excise Policy brought in November last year. It is alleged that undue financial favours were extended to liquor licensees after the tenders were awarded, causing loss to exchequer.
