Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal said on Tuesday he would not be intimidated or broken by what he called “false charges” as he hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi after being drawn into an alleged tanker scam, NDTV reported.
“I am not a Rahul Gandhi or Sonia Gandhi that you can scare me. I am not a Robert Vadra that you can have a setting (secret deal) with me. The Modi government doesn’t file cases against Rahul Gandhi or Sonia Gandhi or Vadra but it targets me,” Kejriwal said.
“Modi has tried to intimidate people with raids, false cases and threats. But I am standing like a rock — I won’t bend, break or back off,” he said.
The “tanker scam” relates to allegations that between 2008 and 2011, the Congress government led by Sheila Dikshit bypassed the rules and caused losses worth Rs400 crore while giving tenders to water tanker companies, allegedly at much higher rates.
A complaint by Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra was recently forwarded by Lit. Gov. Najeeb Jung to the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB).
