Centre misusing CBI against our leaders: AAP

New Delhi May 4 (IANS) The AAP on Thursday again accused the Centre of misusing the CBI against its party leaders following the central agency s raids including at the Delhi Secretariat here.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh took to Twitter: Soon everything came to normal in the AAP; the central government today left its parrot (CBI) behind Satyendar Jain. They kept on disturbing us and we kept on working.

Seem an Indian Revenue Service officer was earlier appointed the Health Secretary by the AAP government. But the decision was overturned by the then Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung because only an IAS officer can serve as a Secretary to the government.
