New Delhi, June 11 : Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to do positive politics as people do not appreciate of negative politics.
"The CBI is calling and abusing our officials. They are called for questioning and were being made to sit for hours," Kejriwal said.
He accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Lt Governor of using the Central Bureau of Investigation and Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
"The CBI is reporting to (BJP President Amit) Shah and Modi," the Chief Minister alleged.
"lnstead of working on earlier cases, we are being dragged in newer ones. There are 14 cases already with the ACB and CBI. We want to see the status of these cases.
"They are conducting raids in my house and also in the houses of my other ministers. They are not able to arrest us as they know we are honest. All this is done to defame us.
"The main intention is to stop our work," Kejriwal said.
"The Prime Minister is like a father figure to the nation. He should protect the people, not create troubles. If we are trying to open 1,000 Mohalla clinics in Delhi, he should open 10,000 throughout the country. People will be happy and will praise him," the Chief Minister added.

Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
