He said Modi "would have arrested" him by now had his "name" figured in the Italian court's order in connection with the deal, but has not taken action against the Gandhi family as he finds them "honest".
The AAP leader also hit out at BJP President Amit Shah for asking Gandhi "with folded hands" to name those who took alleged bribe in the deal and questioned whether "this is how probe is conducted".
"Modiji would have arrested me by now had my name figured in the Italian court order. But (they are) not even probing Soniaji. Why?" Kejriwal asked.
"Amit Shahji is asking Soniaji with folded hands - 'please tell who took bribes'. Is this how probe is conducted? Dissolve CBI and ACB then," he said in a series of tweets.
Kejriwal had yesterday dared BJP to arrest Gandhi and other Congress leaders in connection with the controversial chopper deal, alleging that there was a "strong relationship between Congress and BJP".
Attacking Gandhi, Shah had yesterday asked her to name those who received the "kickbacks" in the deal.

AAP also warned of a country-wide agitation if no "strong and concrete" action is taken in connection with the AgustaWestland chopper deal case within a week.
"We will gherao the Prime Minister's residence if we see no action from the government's side," the party's Delhi unit convenor Dilip Pandey said.
In a letter to Modi, he said, "The probe agencies are controlled by the government. You also control the biggest weapon, CBI. Then what is the compulsion which is not letting CBI raid Congress' office.
The name of former Air Force chief S P Tyagi also surfaced in the case, yet no action was taken against him as well, he said. "We have also learnt that he is connected to the Vivekanand Foundation, which has links with BJP and RSS," Pandey alleged.
AAP leader Ashutosh said it's been two years the NDA government came to power but "no action" has been taken yet against anyone involved in the case.
