BJP acting like ‘serial killer’ to topple state governments, says Manish Sisodia
India Today
Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said on Friday that the BJP is acting like a serial killer to topple state governments who are doing good work.
Days after CBI conducted raids on his house over the scrapped liquor policy, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said on Friday that the BJP is acting like a serial killer to topple state governments and called the CBI FIR filed against him completely fake and fabricated.
He was speaking during the special session of the Delhi Assembly. Sisodia targeted the Centre and Prime Minister Narendra Modi by alleging that they are killing the state governments with the help of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) for doing good work for public welfare.
He said, “Today, the Delhi model of governance spearheaded by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is being applauded all over the world, by the biggest newspapers of the developed countries. This is creating insecurity among people sitting in power in the BJP-led central government. They are not interested in making the country No.1 in the world or a developed country, and they don't want to let others work on this agenda too.”
“In the past 75 years of independence, none of their governments ever worked on education and health and now when a political party is making efforts, they are trying to break the party instead of taking inspiration from Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) work and implementing it in other parts of the country. In the country today, the BJP-led central government is working like a 'serial killer'. Wherever they get to know about the good work of any government, they just start planning to topple, murder that government and destroy it,” Sisodia added.

“On August 19, when I was celebrating Janmashtami peacefully with my family. I got to know that a prestigious international newspaper, The New York Times, had published a news article about the “Delhi Education Revolution” on its front page. Like every Indian, it was a moment of pride and I was trying to absorb this news. But, in the meanwhile, I got to know that CBI was standing at my door,” the deputy chief minister said.
He further told the assembly that CBI was allowed inside and they handed over the FIR to him, which was totally based on sources and there was a list of all false allegations in it. “They searched every nook and corner of the house but could not find anything. There was nothing in the FIR, it was evident that CBI had been working under the pressure of someone who wanted to create a mess in Delhi. This might be the first-ever FIR in the country where all the allegations were based on the claims of sources. The CBI searched the house for 14 hours, also raided Delhi Secretariat but got nothing. In the end, they could only collect a few official papers from the house, a few files from the secretariat and my personal mobile phone and computer,” he added.
