By YKA Staff:
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) apparently raided the Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal’s office on the morning of December 15, according to tweets by the Chief Minister himself. After Kejriwal had a spat with the Central Government over the demolition drive in Shakur Basti, things seem to have calmed down for a bit between the two warring parties- the BJP and the AAP – post a meeting between the Railway Minister and the CM on December 14.
However, things seem to have gone sour again as [envoke_twitter_link]an angry Kejriwal came out all guns blazing on Twitter as the CBI team raided his office[/envoke_twitter_link] and called the Prime Minister “a coward and a psychopath”. Reports suggest that the CBI raid is related to a corruption case against the Secretary to the Chief Minister of Delhi, Rajendra Kumar. The Indian Express had reported last week that Kumar had been questioned several times in relation to the CNG fitness scam in the past year by the Anti-Corruption Branch of the Delhi government.
Without losing any time, the CM of Delhi took to Twitter to express his anger at what was happening in his office:

And of course, the Twitterati responded with equal zeal:
क्या #ShakurBasti में झुग्गियों को गिराने पर फंसी मोदी सरकार ने केजरीवाल पर सीबीआई छापा मार कर मुद्दे से ध्यान हटाने की कोशिश की है? — Mukesh Kejariwal (@Mukesh_k) December 15, 2015
