The AAP legislator of Kalkaji, Atishi, on Sunday alleged that the Prime Minister Office (PMO) had planted a story in the media saying CBI has issued a Look Out Circular against Deputy Chief Minister, Manish Sisodia and now they had to step back into their dens after seeing the uproar of the public.
Atishi said the gimmick of getting PMO to plant different narratives is an attempt to divert attention from the failed CBI raid, even after 14 hours of raid, the CBI did not find anything at Sisodia's house.
“Different stories are being planted about the CBI investigation by BJP spokespersons, because they have been ridiculed in front of the whole country. CBI-ED are famous for making rangolis out of cash after raids, why aren't they revealing how much cash and gold was found at Sisodia's house?,” she said.
“BJP people were getting scripts everyday making them claim that scams worth 8,000 crores, 2,000 crores and 144 crores had happened, but the CBI itself rejected the claims in front of the Modi Government. The CBI has only alleged that there 'may have been a Rs 1 crore transaction between two private parties as per sources', they too have no proof,” she claimed.
Reacting on BJP, MP, Parvesh Verma’s statement, Atishi said she had expected Verma to have some real substance in his presser.
“But his Press conference went on for over half an hour with him beating around bush throughout. He was narrating very entertaining stories about hotels and restaurants with Manjinder Sirsa by his side but he never came to point. Verma had no evidence to show, no paper to talk of,” said Atishi.
