"If we see then everyday there is a false and baseless allegation by Aam Aadmi Party against one or the other minister. As far as Arun Jaitley is concerned, he has always been honest. If they will see the ground, they will stop making statement in the air," he added.

On a day when Prime Minister Modi defended Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who has been accused by the AAP of corruption in Delhi's cricket body, the DDCA, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal came down heavily on the Prime Minister and demanded his resignation saying the CBI raid at his office was conducted to 'help Arun Jaitley'
