Sisodia, BJP and the CBI “dare drama”

Sisodia claimed to the media on Thursday that the CBI should either detain him until Monday, September 19 or acknowledge that the sting operation was a hoax.

He said, “The CBI did not find anything. The ED conducted its probe, but it did not find anything. Now, they have come up with a sting. I want to urge the BJP to hand over the sting to the CBI today and now itself. The CBI should investigate this sting and arrest me within four days. The BJP has done the sting and the CBI is the external branch of the BJP.”

The AAP leader added, “Otherwise, you know that this is yet another conspiracy hatched in the BJP’s office and by the Prime Minister. Nowadays, conspiracies are being hatched there all day to topple state governments and to carry out CBI and ED raids and stings.”
