The Aam Aadmi Party has been firing salvos at Finance Minister Arun Jaitley after CBI raided the Delhi Secretariat.
The AAP chief once again chose the social media route to level the charges. He had virtually live-tweeted the CBI raid at his Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar's office in the Delhi Secretariat on Tuesday.
Kejriwal accused the Centre of targeting him in a bid to shield Jaitley, whose alleged involvement in a Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) scam is being probed by the Delhi government.
Kejriwal had said Jaitley's assertion that AAP's allegations against him are "unsubstantiated and non-specific" could not be treated as "gospel truth" as the charges against him were "very, very serious".
The BJP, however, rubbished the allegations by the AAP.
Refuting the allegation, Jaitley said, "A state government and the party, which is in the dock for having supported corruption and interfered in the probe in this manner cannot deflect the issue. I can reply if they can tell me specific issue. I cannot reply to vague allegations."
