CBI raided my office, Modiji scrutinised 400 of our files, files cases against. Modji tried every trick in the book, but could not find anything against us. The country’s PM gave me a certificate of honesty. Today, people of Delhi can proudly say that our CM is honest, but can the people of the country say our PM is honest?”
