Returning Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's barb that CBI will fight the next election, Union Minister Manish Tewari today wondered whether by CBI he meant his 'Communal Bureau of Instigation'.

"CBI, the Communal Bureau of Instigation, which is also referred as BJP, I am sure they will contest the next elections. So therefore, the Chief Minister of Gujarat at times is very candid in his confession. So we welcome his confession," Tewari told reporters here.

Raising the issue of "misuse" of CBI, Modi had in a Bhopal rally early this week said that CBI and not Congress party candidates will be fielded in the next polls. Tewari said that it had only made evident BJP's double standards.

"BJP should decide that they have faith in CBI or not. If judgement in Haren Pandya case is in their favour then CBI becomes very good and if judgement is not in their favour, then it becomes Congress Bureau of Investigation. (Many) organisations have suffered in last nine years due to BJP's cheap politics. BJP needs to introspect on its character and its double standard," the Minister said.
