Modi government seems to be on back foot: Sanjay Singh

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh said on Monday that the central government has arrested Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia only for “political reasons” and to hide the scams done by the Modi government.
“CBI didn’t get anything even after repeated raids and searches. The Modi government arrested Sisodia solely for political purposes and to conceal its scams.His arrest has come at a time when there is a demand from the Joint Parliamentary Committee on the Adani-Hindenburg issue in Parliament. It all has been done only to divert people from this issue,” Singh said while addressing a press conference here. He further alleged that the Modi government is “furious” about the AAP party’s rise in the country.
“Arvind Kejriwal’s government is doing an admirable job throughout the country.”Modi does not want that our government becomes an example for the country and the world. This government (Union government) is taking action against the AAP party only because of its rise in the country, and it is very furious about AAP’s growth,” AAP MP said.
Earlier in the day, Singh was released from detention along with fellow party leaders. Singh and other AAP leaders were detained on Sunday for staging a demonstration outside the CBI office, in support of Sisodia, who was arrested by the central agency in connection with the Delhi liquor policy case, after being questioned for hours.
Further hitting out at the Union government over the Adani issue, Singh said that if an investigation is conducted into the matter, Modi will be “unmasked.”
“People are watching that all the agencies including CBI, SEBI, and ED are silent on the scams done by Adani. On the other hand, there is Sisodia who is building the future of lakhs of students, has been put into jail,” Sanjay Singh said, adding, “If an investigation is conducted in the matter, Modi will be unmasked.”
