On a day Okhla MLA Amanatullah Khan became the 10th AAP legislator to be arrested by the Delhi Police, a furious Kejriwal lashed out at Modi for "unleashing" probe agencies like the CBI and ED after his party legislators.
"He (Modi) could not digest his defeat. They have put all the agencies behind us but could not unearth a single act of corruption.It's a holy war akin to the war between Kauravas and Pandavas," Kejriwal said after inaugurating the 3.40 km elevated corridor between Vikaspuri and Meerabagh here.
"Nripendra Mishra monitors all the files but has failed to find corruption.In the BRT corridor case, BJP even alleged that I pocketed Rs 15 crore, but failed to prove anything in this regard. I challenged Modiji to stop the development of Delhi. I challenge Narendra Modi to stop our reforms being brought about by our education minister Manish Sisodia," he said.
Later in a tweet, Kejriwal also claimed that his government saved around Rs 110 crore in constructing the flyover despite the Centre's "efforts to scuttle" the project.
"Another flyover inaugurated 2day. Sanctioned cost- 560 cr. Actual- 450 cr. Savings-110 cr. This despite all efforts of Modi govt to scuttle," he tweeted.
The corridor will make five intersections on the stretch signal-free benefitting those travelling through Janakpuri, Vikaspuri, Tilak Nagar, Jawalaheri and Paschim Vihar. PWD Minister Satyendar Jain was also present at the event.
