Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today launched yet another attack on Modi, saying the Prime Minister should desist from "coercing" the opposition "using CBI" over demonetisation and not everyone is "Rahul Gandhi".
"Modi ji, don't try to coerce opposition into submission thro CBI. Everyone is not Rahul Gandhi (sic)," Kejriwal tweeted, referring to a tweet by West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee.
In her post, Banerjee had accused BJP of indulging in "vendetta politics", claiming the TMC Lok Sabha leader was called thrice by the CBI. "Nothing will deter us from fight against #DeMonetisation," she added.
She also thanked Kejriwal for his "support". "Many thanks Arvind," she tweeted. The duo have been at the forefront after the PM announced scrapping of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes on November 8.
In another tweet, Kejriwal said Modi should first ensure that BJP accepts cashless donations before "forcing others".
"Beggars should accept cashless support, confectioner should accept cashless payment, urinals should be paid in cashless, but pay BJP in cash, old notes will also do," Kejriwal tweeted in hindi.
