AAP Satyendar Jain arrest: This is not the first time that the centre and any opposition party have traded allegations and denial over the use of central agencies by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi government to pinprick rivals
The latest flashpoint between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi and the centre involves the arrest of Delhi minister Satyendar Jain by the Enforcement Directorate in an alleged money laundering case. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his colleagues have alleged the Union government is using central agencies to harass them.
Mr Kejriwal's deputy Manish Sisodia has alleged Mr Jain was arrested with an eye on the Himachal Pradesh election, to be held later this year, as the AAP leader was the in-charge of the hill state.
This is not the first time that the centre and any opposition party have traded allegations and denial over the use of central agencies by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi government to pinprick rivals.
