Kejriwal running away from probe: BJP

New Delhi: The BJP on Thursday accused Arvind Kejriwal of "running away" from a probe after the Delhi chief minister skipped the third summons by the ED in connection with the Delhi excise policy case. In a letter addressed to the Enforcement Directorate, the AAP leader on Wednesday cited Rajya Sabha polls, Republic Day preparations and the probe agency's "non-disclosure and non-response approach" as reasons for not appearing before it. He also said he would be "happy to answer" any questionnaire sent by it.

Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said, "Aam Aadmi Party leaders are making



noises that their CM may get arrested anytime... They have committed theft, and corruption and now they are creating a ruckus."

"The investigating agency has given you a chance to testify, but you are running away and behaving like a fugitive," Sachdeva added.

BJP spokesperson Bansuri Swaraj said Kejriwal is forgetting that he is not above the law.

The ED has sent three summons, but the CM is running away from an investigation. He doesn't want to be involved in the investigation," Swaraj said.
