New Delhi, Dec 18 (IBNS) Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who has been into a running battle with the Centre and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley over a CBI raid on his officer, has alleged that the investigating agency has orders to target opposition parties.

"A CBI officer told me yest that CBI has been asked to target all opp parties n finish those who don't fall in line," he tweeted on Friday morning.

Kejriwal retweeted a post that quoted sources as saying that after the ruling BJP's Bihar election defeat, "(PM Narendra) Modi has been weakened so others also have to be weaker."

Delhi's ruling Aam Aadmi Party has alleged that the CBI raid on Tuesday was directed at searching  Kejriwal's office for files on what they call massive corruption in the capital's cricket board, the DDCA, which  Jaitley headed for 13 years till 2013.

Jaitley rubbished the allegations, saying he has had nothing to do with cricket for years.

The CBI has said  that it raided the Chief Minister's Principal Secretary Rajender Kumar over corruption charges, and never entered or searched  Kejriwal's office.

Mr Kejriwal retweeted a post that quoted sources as saying that after the ruling BJP's Bihar election defeat, "(PM Narendra) Modi has been weakened so others also have to be weaker."

Mr Jaitley rubbished the allegations, saying he has had nothing to do with cricket for years.

"Delhi CM Kejriwal seems to believe in untruth and defamation, delivered in language that borders on hysteria. No personal allegation was ever made against me nor did I ever feel the need of contradicting it," he said yesterday.
