A day after his twitter tirade on a CBI raid raised political storm, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal was back at it early on Wednesday as he accused finance minister Arun Jaitley of lying to Parliament.
In a series of tweets, the AAP chief posted purported photographs of a list of documents taken by the Central Bureau of Investigation and alleged documents seized were unrelated to a probe against senior bureaucrat Rajendra Kumar.

The controversial search operation had triggered a bitter war of words between the government and the Aam Aadmi Party after Kejriwal called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a psychopath and coward, accusing him of using the probe agency to scare political opponents.
The BJP rejected the charge with finance minister Arun Jaitley telling Parliament on Tuesday that the investigation was into charges of corruption against an IAS officer, whose office had been searched. The CBI too clarified that they were probing allegations that Kumar – who is Kejriwal’s secretary – had favoured private firms in bagging government contracts.
Kejriwal also alleged that the CBI was interested in files related to the Delhi and District Cricket Association, which Jaitley headed for over a decade.
“CBI kept reading DDCA file in my office. They wud hv seized it. But after my media briefing, they left it. Not clear if they took a copy,” the CM tweeted.
“Why is Jaitley ji so scared of DDCA probe? What is his role in DDCA scam?”
The finance minister had rejected Kejriwal’s allegations of financial irregularities on Tuesday.
“This morning’s statement appeared to be prima facie incorrect. But the evening one seemed to be absolutely rubbish and I do not think I need to respond to this rubbish,” he had said.
Sources said Kejriwal has been keenly pursuing the DDCA case after two former Test cricketers from the city and other functionaries pointed out irregularities in the sports body, which has hobbled from one controversy to another.
Arvind Kejriwal, after alleging that the CBI had raided his office for a file linked to corruption in the Delhi cricket body that Finance Minister Arun Jaitley headed in the past, tweeted today that the investigators read the file but "left it" after his media briefing. He also targeted Mr Jaitley directly.

The Delhi Chief Minister also tweeted that documents seized from his office had "no relation" to allegations against his principal secretary Rajender Gupta, which, the CBI had said, was the reason for the raids at the Delhi Secretariat on Tuesday.
Mr Kejriwal had said yesterday that the CBI raided his office to search for files on the DDCA or Delhi and District Cricket Association, which, he said, had Mr Jaitley's name. AAP alleges that there were financial irregularities when Mr Jaitley was the president of the Delhi cricket body for 13 years till December, 2013.
Mr Jaitley called the allegations "absolutely rubbish" and said: " I don't think I should comment on rubbish."
AAP leader Saurabh Bhardwaj said today: "There are rumours about widespread corruption in DDCA. Mr Jaitley was heading it for a long time. There were documents in the chief minister's office on this, as Mr Kejriwal takes care of all important documents, inquiries and vigilance documents."
In a series of tweets, the AAP chief posted purported photographs of a list of documents taken by the Central Bureau of Investigation and alleged documents seized were unrelated to a probe against senior bureaucrat Rajendra Kumar.
