Somewhere down the line, they may be feeling that various things done by some of their members, especially what some of their chief ministers have done, may come home to roost. So they are taking some kind of political stance,” party spokesperson Sandip Dikshit said.“It is also followed by what Modi said a day or two days ago that he was not afraid of CBI. If he hasnot done anything wrong, why should he be afraid of CBI and if he has done something, better beafraid,” Mr Dikshit said.
