According to Hindustan Times Kejriwal said in an interview to NDTV that “apart from the financial irregularities at the DDCA, there were other major wrong things happening including the sex racket”. He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should decide “whether to make DDCA inquiry null and void to protect (finance minister) Arun Jaitley”. The Delhi CM has been rasining allegations of corruption against former DDCA president Arun Jaitley ever since the CBI raided his principal secretary’s Rajendra Kumar’s office on Decmember 15.
Kejriwal and other Aam Aadmi Party leaders have been vocal about their support to Kirti Azad claims that DDCA has had financial irregularities during the time current finance minister Jaitley’s time in DDCA.

Kejriwal also said his government did not do anything wrong in the DDCA and the CBI is free to conduct an inquiry against him.
“Kejriwal is not scared of CBI, order any inquiry against me,” the chief minister told NDTV. Kejriwal alleged the central government was conducting Central Bureau of Investigation raids at his office while turning a “blind eye” to the Vyapam scam of Madhya Pradesh.
“Whenever anyone takes the name of DDCA and corruption, (Finance Miniser) Arun Jaitley says he is being defamed. When we (Kejriwal along with Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia) met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, I told him I am like your child, please guide us, let us work without obstructions. He was silent,” he concluded.
