Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today tore into Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the imposition of President's rule in Uttarakhand, alleging the Centre will attempt to "destabilise" the Delhi and Himachal Pradesh governments.
He also attacked Modi for allowing the visit of the Pakistani JIT to probe the Pathankot terror attack and went on to suggest that the "overture" of the Prime Minister toward Pakistan was aimed at securing a "Noble Peace Prize".
The imposition of President's rule in Uttarakhand amounted to "murder" of "Babasaheb Ambedkar's Constitution", Kejriwal said, adding he was aware of plans to destabilise the Delhi and Himachal Pradesh governments.
Decrying "horse-trading" in Uttarakhand, he dared BJP to "buy" even a single AAP MLA. "An IB officer told me that one big industrialist has been entrusted with buying AAP MLAs," Kejriwal alleged.
"BJP knows that it will not win a single election in the next two years so it has resorted to goondagardi. They will try it in Himachal Pradesh and Delhi next. In Delhi, they plan to suspend 21 MLAs first and then attempt to buy 23 more," Kejriwal alleged.
Speaking in the Delhi Assembly, Kerjriwal repeatedly questioned the visit of the Pakistani JIT to probe the Pathankot terror attack and alleged that Centre's decision may have been influenced by a "deal" struck between Modi and Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
"Why is the Prime Minister allowing this? Some say that he wants the Nobel Peace Prize or wants to please the United States. The country wants to know the deal struck between Modi and Sharif during the Lahore stopover.

"The PM has embraced Pakistan that is behind the terror attacks on India that have taken countless lives. Ask the family members of Pathankot martrys how they are feeling about the government's move," Kejriwal said.
He also asked why CBI was not tasked with probing the attacks "instead of ISI" if it could conduct raids at the Delhi Secretariat.

Interestingly, in his audio message released earlier in the day, Kejriwal said he would expose conspiracy against him, his Cabinet colleagues and AAP legislators in the Assembly tomorrow.
Without naming the Centre and Police, Kejriwal said, "They are sending your MLAs to jail in false cases. Courts have also reprimanded them why they are filing false cases against them. Why are they doing?
"There is a very big conspiracy behind this. I will expose this conspiracy tomorrow in the Delhi Assembly tomorrow. I hope all TV channels will telecast it."
The Delhi CM said that they are creating hurdles in every work of the AAP government.
"The Delhi government is doing a good work. Not only in India, it's work are being appreciated across the world. In Delhi, there has been cheap electricity. In the last one year, we have laid water pipelines in 263 colonies.
"Besides, school education system is being overhauled and there is free medicines and tests in government hospitals. We are yet to do a lot of works, but they are creating hurdles in our every work," he also said.
On several occasions, Kejriwal in the past had accused the Centre of creating hurdles in the functioning of Delhi government.
