He also hit out at Prime Minister <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/Narendra+Modi-all" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Narendra Modi</a>, saying he only thinks of destabilising governments in non-BJP states by poaching MLAs.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had last month raided the Delhi residence of Sisodia after it registered an FIR to investigate alleged irregularities in the formulation and execution of the Delhi Excise Policy brought out in November last year.

"A CBI officer was pressured to frame me in false excise case. He could not take the mental pressure and died by suicide two days ago. This is really unfortunate, I am deeply hurt," Sisodia alleged during a press conference.
"I want to ask PM why officers are being pressured so much that they are forced to take such extreme steps. Arrest me if you want, but don't destroy families of your officers," he added.
He also asked Modi if 'Operation Lotus' is the only work that Centre has.
