Claiming Constitutional positions "are at stake", West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today blasted the Modi government for CBI raids at the residence of Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh and wondered what would happen if a CM orders raids at the house of Prime Minister.
Addressing a Chief Ministers' conclave organised by the Delhi Government, Banerjee made a stinging attack on the Modi dispensation, accusing it of running "parallel governments" in states through governors and "turning everything into communal".
"Today you conduct raids in the residence of Chief Ministers. But tomorrow if a chief minister raids the residence of Prime Minister? All the constitutional positions are at stake. We have never seen such things (raids) happen at the houses of President, PM, CM, judges, newspaper editors. There should be ethics. They have no such ethics," she said.
The CBI had on Saturday conducted searches at 13 places, including Singh's residences in Shimla and here, on the day of his daughter's wedding, in connection with a disproportionate assets case.
