Taking a swipe at Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, Arvind Kejriwal said: “We will not cry like (Punjab CM) Channi Ji (on ED raids). He is frustrated because he had done wrong. We have not done anything wrong so we are not afraid.”

Back in 2018, the Central Bureau of Investigation raided Delhi Health Minister Satyender Kumar Jain’s home in New Delhi after registering a case against him. The case against Satyender Jain was in connection to alleged corruption in hiring a creative team for the Public Works Department to suggest new architectural designs and bring down costs, officials said. Jain and other AAP leaders had then claimed “political agenda” behind the raids conducted against him.
