"They themselves are putting a question mark on whether it is the way to run a government," Telugu Desam Parliamentary Party leader Y Satyanarayana Chowdary remarked, referring to the 'investigative adventurism' comment made by Jaitley.

Jaitley had Friday targeted the CBI over the Kochhar probe,advising the investigating agency to avoid 'adventurism' and concentrate only on the bull's eye.

"There is a fundamental difference between investigative adventurism and professional investigation," Jaitley had tweeted.

Chanda Kochhar, former CEO of ICICI Bank and her husband Deepak Kochhar were booked Thursday by the CBI for alleged cheating and corruption in clearing six loans worth Rs 1,875 crore to the Videocon group during her tenure
