"What does PM Modi want" was Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's reaction today, as he linked the CBI action against Minister Satyendar Jain to his government's announcement of proposed norms for private hospitals and alleged that the BJP wanted the new policy scrapped.

Kejriwal claimed the new policy will "end profiteering" by private hospitals and the AAP government will go ahead with the proposal, "no matter how many raids are conducted".

The Aam Aadmi Party accused the central dispensation of keeping its ministers and MLAs "in controversy" to ensure that the work done by the Delhi government was not highlighted among the people.

It said the 'raid' was an attempt to divert people's attention from the "good works" done by the Arvind Kejriwal government.

The reaction came after CBI conducted searches at Jain's residence and other places after filing a fresh case against him in connection with alleged violation of norms in hiring architects for the public works department (PWD).
