New Delhi: Citing budget duties, Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia on Sunday urged the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to defer his questioning till the last week of February.

What has happened to Shiv Sena, how we have been treated, can happen to you too. All parties should keep their eyes open and be cautious. I never wanted to be a chief minister, but was asked by Congress and NCP to take over because otherwise a government could not have been formed. Had BJP honoured the commitment given, both Shiv Sena and BJP would have got their chief ministers for two-and-a-half years each.

Those who want to leave can go, but they should merge with another party. However, they want to throw me out of my house and take it over, he alleged. My father groomed these people and Shiv Sainiks supported them. But now they want to become owners and our institutions are such that they have made a thief the owner of the house, he said.
