Dubbing the allegations being levelled against principal secretary Rajendra Kumar as baseless, the Aam Aadmi Party on Tuesday said “the main target here is Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal”. Slamming the Centre over Mr Kumar’s arrest, AAP leader Ashutosh said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is “scared” of losing the upcoming elections in Goa and Punjab and is, therefore, targeting Mr Kejriwal.
“They want to paralyse the government. You are targeting all the officers without permission, not allowing anyone to grow... Rajendra Kumar is just an excuse, the main target is Arvind Kejriwal,” Ashut-osh said.
“They are not allowing the AAP to function in Delhi. Modiji is scared that if the AAP wins in Punjab and Goa then there will be no stand of the BJP in this country. The fear is leading them to do all this,” he added.
The AAP leader dared the BJP-led Centre to produce all evidences against the principal secretary. “If they have evidence against Rajendra Kumar, then where were these evidences from the past six months How come all of a sudden there is evidence They are putting baseless allegations,” he said.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday arrested Mr Kumar on charges of alleged corruption.
According to CBI sources, Mr Kumar has been charged with abusing his official position to award contracts to M/s Endeavour Systems Pvt. Ltd. and securing government tenders worth Rs 9.5 crore between 2007 and 2014 for the company.
