Fianance Minister Arun Jaitley at a press conference in Delhi.
Refuting the Aam Aadmi Party's allegations of corruption in Delhi's cricket body DDCA which he headed for 13 years, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today said he has had nothing to do with cricket for years. Mr Jaitley, addressing a press conference on Thursday evening, said so far there have not been any allegations against him.
Here are the highlights of his speech:
- The CBI investigating a corrupt officer close to the chief minister endangers the federal structure?
- A chief minister uses such language for the Prime Minister, is this in the spirit of federalism?
- When those close to the chief minister have been caught red-handed, one way to divert attention is repeatedly draw in my name
- The CBI investigated an officer, it has nothing to do with Arvind Kejriwal
- I haven't had anything to with cricket in Delhi for a while now
- During the Common Wealth Games, Rs 900 crore was spent on repairs and renovation at the Nehru Stadium and the stadium was built by the public sector.
- When a union territory registers a case against a decision by the Centre, it hurts federalism.
- The chief minister sought to keep himself in front of an officer, he was caught in an embarrassing situation
- There is not a grain of truth in allegations against me
- Complaints against me were investigated during the tenure of the UPA government, they found nothing against me
