BJP MP Kirti Azad on Saturday said that he will “expose biggest DDCA corruption” and “unmask the impostor” on Sunday at a press conference, rebuffing the party’s attempts to dissuade him from going public with his allegations, thought to be targeting Arun Jaitley.
The MP from Bihar also appeared to be taking a dig at the finance minister over his reported description of him as a “Trojan horse”.
Azad forcefully said that he would not accept defeat and that the press conference will be held despite BJP chief Amit Shah’s insistence not to organise it.
Shah had called Azad on Thursday to impress
upon him that he should not go ahead with his charges at a time when opposition
parties, especially AAP, have gone after Jaitley over the alleged corruption in
DDCA when he headed the cricket body.
Azad had, however, later reiterated his decision to hold a press conference on Sunday. The three-time MP has been a known detractor of Jaitley over his stewardship of DDCA.
