New Delhi, Dec 15 (IBNS) Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted on Tuesday morning that his office had been raided by the CBI and launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him a "coward and psychopath".

"When Modi cudn't handle me politically, he resorts to this cowardice," Kejriwal tweeted.

"Modi is a coward and a psycopath," he said.

AAP claims that officials have been stopped from entering the Chief Minister's office on the third floor of the Delhi Secretariat and the CBI hasn't given any reason.

However, denying that it has raided or sealed the Chief Minister's office, CBI claimed that  it was searching the office and home of a senior bureaucrat in the Chief Minister's team, Rajender Kumar, accused of corruption in computer purchases.

 Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said in the Rajya Sabha: "No one from the CBI has entered Kejriwal's room, the case is not connected to his tenure. The search is against an officer."
 
Accusing Jaitley  of "lying",  Kejriwal said Rajender Kumar is "one of my most trusted officers". He questioned why CBI never informed the Delhi government before searching the floor of the Chief Minister's office.
 
"CBI lying. My own office raided. Files of CM office are being looked into. Let Modi say which file he wants?"  Kejriwal tweeted, adding that "Rajender is an excuse."

"FM lied in Parliament. My own office files are being looked into to get some evidence against me. Rajender is an excuse," he tweeted.

The BJP called  Kejriwal's attack on the PM "abominable". Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu said: "CBI doing its work and not fair to blame government. It has become a fashion to blame the PM for everything."
 
AAP leader Ashish Khetan said : "This is an undeclared state of emergency. The Modi government wants to turn our country into a police state where there are no civil rights."
 
The AAP government and the Centre have been  in a running feud since Kejriwal took power in February.
