Kejriwal urges Modi to do positive politics
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.

West Asia: India supplied 22,000 MT of high-speed diesel to Bangladesh in March, says MEA
New Delhi (PTI): Amid the ongoing West Asia conflict, India has supplied 22,000 metric tonnes of high-speed diesel to Bangladesh in March and has received a request from Seychelles and the Maldives to meet their energy requirements, the MEA said on Friday.
At his weekly briefing, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal in his response to a query related to requests received from India's neighbouring countries for fuel amid the West Asia situation, also said that India is "finalising a government-to-government agreement" for the supply of oil and gas, which will play an important role in reinforcing energy security of Mauritius.
The conflict in West Asia has now stretched to nearly 50 days, with global ramifications.
"So, we have received requests from our neighbouring countries for supply of fuel, and these are being looked into, keeping in mind our own requirements, availability and refining capacity," Jaiswal told reporters.
He further said India has "supplied 22,000 metric tonnes of high-speed diesel to Bangladesh in March 2026, and further supplies have continued this month as well".
"You would recall that last month we had supplied 38 metric tonnes of petroleum products to Sri Lanka as well," he added.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar visited Mauritius last week, the MEA spokesperson said, adding, "We are finalising a government-to-government agreement for supply of oil and gas, which will play an important role in reinforcing the energy security of Mauritius".
As far as Nepal is concerned, there is an existing arrangement between Indian Oil Corporation and Nepal Oil Corporation to supply petroleum products to Nepal as per its requirements. The supplies are continuing without any interruption, he said.
Energy supplies to Bhutan also continue according to the existing arrangement.
"As I had mentioned earlier, we have received a request from Seychelles and the Maldives to meet their energy requirements. We continue to be in touch with them in this regard, and are considering the request keeping in mind our own domestic requirements and availability of fuel.
"I would also like to add that our neighbouring country governments have expressed appreciation for the uninterrupted supply, fuel supply to them during the West Asian conflict," Jaiswal said.
Global oil and gas prices surged after Iran restricted the transit of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow lane between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman that handles roughly 20 per cent of global oil and LNG trade.
