In the midst of his running battle with the Centre, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today claimed that raids may be conducted targeting his ministerial colleagues Manish Sisodia and Satyendra Jain.

Quoting unnamed PMO sources, he claimed that officers under Sisodia and Jain are being pressured to get something wrong signed from the two ministers.

"PMO sources-Next raid on Manish or Satinder. Officers under them being pressurized to get something wrong signed from them," Kejriwal tweeted.

His allegations came a month after CBI raided the Delhi Secretariat in connection with a case against his Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar.

"Modiji you do whatever you want, truth is with us, God is with us, you cannot do anything to us," Kejriwal said in another tweet.

Following the raid, Kejriwal had unleashed a vitriolic attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him a "coward and psychopath" while intensifying the face-off between ruling AAP and Centre.

He had even dragged Arun Jaitley alleging that the CBI was primarily looking for a file which mentioned wrongdoings by the Finance Minister when he was heading the DDCA from 1999 to 2013.

The AAP government is at loggerheads with the Centre on a range of issues.
