Speaking exclusively to NDTV, Manish Sisodia accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of "misusing" the central investigating agencies against political rivals
Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia today said that he was being targeted by the CBI because the BJP-ruled central government is alarmed by the growing popularity of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the work done by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the education and healthcare sector, which is being discussed globally.
