Aam Aadmi Party stand –

AAP said that they were trying to unearth shady dealing and corruption indulged into by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, Modi Government unleashed the Central Bureau of Investigation as its political weapon and conducted a raid in the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s Office.

AAP said secretariats 3rd floor sealed off, it has office of CM Kejriwal and his staff including Kumar.

The CBI officers scanned files of the Chief Minister’s office relating to corruption in the dealings of Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA). Aam Aadmi Party Government had initiated a probe into the DDCA scam on a complaint filed with it.

Files related to this probe were in Chief Minister’s Office and this was the precise reason that the CBI, under Modi Government, raided the Chief Minister’s office on pretext of investigating a case related to the dealings of Chief Minister’s Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar between 2007 and 2014, much before Arvind Kejriwal taking over as Chief Minister of Delhi.

Kejriwal declared the CBI raid as an "undeclared emergency", he also went on to suggest that Kumar was being netted by the premier investigating agency as he was the CM's officer. "My question-had Rajender not been my secretary, then wud he have been raided? No. Then who is the target-Rajender or me,"

BJP stand –
