Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal says most CBI officers were against Manish Sisodia’s arrest but had to obey their political masters
Sisodia was arrested by the central probe agency after eight hours of questioning in the Delhi excise scam.

A day after Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia’s arrest in a liquor policy scam, CM Arvind Kejriwal took a dig at Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officers and claimed that most of them are against the former’s arrest due to lack of evidence but were forced to do so due to the pressure of their political masters.
Taking to Twitter, Kejriwal wrote that he is being told that most CBI officers are against Manish’s arrest. All of them have huge respect for him, and there is no evidence against him, but the political pressure to arrest him was so high that they had to obey their political masters.
Shortly after Kejriwal made claims about the CBI officers, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Manoj Tiwari said the Delhi chief minister had also spread such fake news regarding Intelligence Bureau (IB) during the Gujarat assembly election.

Now everyone knows that whatever he writes and say is fabricated. Let the law work, the heat of investigation on the Liquor Minister’s liquor scam will further spread, this is his fear too, isn’t it? Tiwari said in a tweet in Hindi.
Sisodia was arrested by the central probe agency after eight hours of questioning in the Delhi excise scam. After his arrest, the CBI released a statement in which they claimed that Sisodia gave evasive replies and wasn’t cooperating in the ongoing investigation of the liquor scam case.
A few hours before going to the CBI, Sisodia held a roadshow with Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supporters and said he was being framed in a fake case because the BJP was scared of AAP’s strides.

PM Modi, Amit Shah, Yogi Adityanath approve Baba Balak Nath’s name as Rajasthan CM
Baba Balak Nath is seen as the mirror image of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Aditynath.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reportedly approved Baba Balak Nath’s name as the Chief Minister of Rajasthan. The RSS has also accepted his name as the state’s leader. On Sunday, the BJP returned to power in the state, winning 115 seats among 199 Assembly constituencies. The Congress has secured 68 seats.
Baba Balak Nath is seen as the mirror image of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Aditynath. Though former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje has been a strong candidate for many decades, she was not projected as the face of the Chief Minister position for the 2023 Rajasthan state election. Reports said that the name of the Rajasthan Chief Minister can be announced anytime soon.
The potential Chief Minister, Baba Balak Nath is the mutt head selected by the BJP to contest against Congress’s Imran Khan in the Muslim dominated Tijara Assembly constituency. He won from the constituency with a significant margin. Baba Balak Nath, fondly known as Rajasthan’s Yogi, hails from Alwar and is the Chancellor of Baba Mast Nath University in Haryana’s Rohtak city. He is also the eighth mahant of Baba Mast Nath Nath, which is the national headquarters of the Nath yogi’s sect.
Notably, Baba Balak Nath and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath share closeness and the former treats the UP Chief Minister as his big brother. Moreover, Baba Balak Nath has often praised Yogi Adityanath in the past for his popular bulldozers politics, that involves using bulldozers to demolish illegal encroachments in the state.
Furthermore, the closeness between the two and their identical saffron robes, has helped Baba Balak Nath to build an image similar to that of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in the northern state ahead of the assembly election.
The assembly election in Rajasthan was conducted on November 25.
