Centre trying to derail Delhi’s health, education revolution: Kejriwal

The Hindu  

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday accused the Central government of going after Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia through the CBI to “derail Delhi’s education and health revolution” even as the investigation agency raided his deputy’s residence. Cites NYT report Citing a report in TheNew York Timesand without naming the Bharatiya Janata Party, Mr. Kejriwal accused the Centre of “sending the CBI” to the Excise Minister’s doorstep as part of a “witch-hunt” at a time when the world was praising him “as the best Education Minister.” “America’s biggest newspaper The New York Times published our Deputy CM Manish Sisodia’s photo on its front page, appreciated Delhi’s Education Model; I congratulate the whole country, it is a matter of pride; but it is shameful that the Centre sent the CBI behind Manish Sisodia hours after the news was published,” the Chief Minister said. Delhi’s education and healthcare model, Mr. Kejriwal said, was being discussed globally and the Centre wanted to stop the Capital’s progress in this regard which was why Delhi’s Health and Education Ministers were “being raided and arrested.” Whoever had tried to “do some good” politically in the 75 years since Independence, the Chief Minister added, was stopped by “these people”, that is the country’s politicians, who “let India lag behind.” Nation-wide campaign “Delhi’s progress won’t stop, no matter what. Mr. Sisodia’s appearance on the front page of NYT, Mr. Kejriwal said, was “no less than a declaration” that he wasn’t just the “best Education Minister in India but in the whole world” and was a matter of pride.
