Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that he was not a member of the Gandhi family who would be scared of his cheap antics.

"I am not Rahul Gandhi, whom you will scare. I am not Sonia Gandhi, whom you will pull down. I am not Robert Vadra with whom you can have a setting, you can't scare me," Kejriwal said.

Kejriwal also dubbed the FIR in connection with the alleged tanker scam as 'false', saying nothing will come out of it.

"So, the question arises why Narendra Modi ji is conducting CBI raid and registering false FIR against me? The reason behind this is that Modi ji has scared everyone else by lodging false FIR and raids. I am standing alone as a rock and exposing Modi ji's wrongdoings and that is why Modi ji wants to scare me and break me down, but I want to tell him that neither will I break down nor I will bow down," Kejriwal said.

"If you try to take away the bread and butter of the jewellers, I would be standing by them. Modi ji if you try to save Sonia Gandhi in the AgustaWestland case, I will raise my voice against it," he added.

Kejriwa further said there has been no CBI raid conducted against Robert Vadra, Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi.

"No FIR was registered against them, but by conducting raid against me and targeting me, it's clear that the fight is between you (PM Modi) and me," he said.

Kejriwal's reaction comes in wake of a case registered by the Delhi's Anti-Corruption Branch for the alleged Rs. 400-crore water tanker scam linking him and his predecessor Sheila Dikshit.

ACB chief M.K. Meena said two complaints were received with regard to the scam and those named in the complaints include Dikshit and Kejriwal. He said both Dikshit and Kejriwal will be questioned by the ACB if needed.
