Opposition leaders from Congress and other parties on Thursday launched a scathing attack on BJP-led Central government soon after an Enforcement Directorate team arrested Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in connection with the now-scrapped liquor policy case.

Reacting to the probe agency's crackdown on Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief, senior Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra took to X (formerly known as Twitter) and said that targetting kejriwal ahead of Lok Sabha polls was "completely wrong and unconstitutional".

Targeting Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in this manner due to elections is completely wrong and unconstitutional. Lowering the level of politics in this manner suits neither the Prime Minister nor his government," Priyanka Gandi Vadra said in a tweet in Hindi.

"Fight your critics in the electoral battle, confront them boldly, and of course attack their policies and working style - this is democracy. But in this way, using the power of all the institutions of the country to fulfill one's political objective and weakening them by exerting pressure is against every principle of democracy," she added.
