BJP lawmaker Kirti Azad reiterated his decision of holding a press conference on Sunday against corruption in DDCA.
New Delhi:
BJP lawmaker and former cricketer Kirti Azad today said he will "expose biggest Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) corruption" and "unmask the impostor" tomorrow at a press conference, rebuffing party's attempts to dissuade him from going public with his allegations said to be targeting Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.
The lawmaker from Bihar also appeared to be taking a dig at Mr Jaitley over his reported description of him as a "Trojan horse". "Not a Trojan horse but Achilles heel; wait till I unmask the 'behroopiya' (impostor)," Mr Azad said in a tweet.
"Will expose biggest DDCA corruption with audio-visual tomorrow at 4 P M," he said in another tweet and quoted a poem of BJP stalwart Atal Bihari Vajpayee to suggest that he will carry on and not "concede" defeat.
BJP chief Amit Shah had called Mr Azad yesterday to impress upon him that he should not go ahead with his charges at a time when opposition parties, especially Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), have gone after Mr Jaitley over the alleged corruption in DDCA when he headed the cricket body.
Mr Azad had, however, later reiterated his decision of holding a press conference on Sunday. The three-time lawmaker has been a known detractor of Mr Jaitley over his stewardship of DDCA.
