New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi's resignation for ordering the CBI to raid his office.

Addressing a special session of the Delhi assembly, Kejriwal launched his most scathing attack on Modi while simultaneously asking him to sack Jaitley from the cabinet for his involvement in the financial bungling in Delhi's cricket board - a charge Jaitley has denied.

"He should feel ashamed," Kejriwal thundered, referring to Modi and the December 15 raid by the Central Bureau of Investigation, which has denied searching Kejriwal's office and said that it only targeted his principal secretary Rajendra Kumar for corruption.

"I thank Arun Jaitley for the defamation case," Kejriwal added. "If the PM has courage, he should show it and move Arun Jaitley out from the cabinet."

Taking the charges head-on, Kejriwal said, "What remains to be seen is that whether the inquiry commission will be annulled by the L-G, who Jaitley says is 'our man'... I appeal to Jaitleyji to cooperate with the inquiry commission."
