AgustaWestland scam: Arvind Kejriwal says Narendra Modi scared of taking action against Sonia Gandhi

Launching a scathing attack on the Narendra Modi government and Congress over the AgustaWestland chopper scam, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today said the Prime Minister does not have “enough courage” to arrest Sonia Gandhi and that the two parties have an “alliance in corruption”. Kejriwal also said that the two parties had a “setting” that the BJP government will not arrest Gandhi in chopper scam.

“The Italian Court order also has names of Sonia Gandhi, Ahmed Patel, certain officers and Congressmen, but Modi is not able to gather enough courage to arrest Sonia Gandhi, to ask her even two questions, to interrogate her...

“Modi ji you have been made PM to take action not to leave the task for Italy court...Our chest would also be of 56 inch if you would have sent her to jail...when my PM says that Italy’s court is taking Gandhi’s name not and not him....I want to ask Modiji why are you scared of her?” Kejriwal said, addressing a rally at Jantar Mantar here.

Questioning the progress of the investigation in the chopper deal, Kejriwal alleged that there hasn’t been an “inch” of movement on the probe, despite the Modi government coming to power on the assurances that the corrupt will be taken to task.

“What investigation did they do in AgustaWestland case in two years? The Italian government completed investigation, filed the cases in court, judgment came and those who were involved in paying bribe were sent to jail.”

“When Anna agitation started, people wanted to change the government...they knew that both Congress and BJP are two sides of the same coin, but Modi ji gave such wonderful speeches before Lok Sabha polls that people’s hopes were build that corruption will end,” Kejriwal said.
