DDCA row : Suspended Kirti Azad vows to spill more beans
In a quick reaction to the latest development over DDA corruption controversy, the Congress has said Azad's ouster reflects the BJP high command's favorite method of functioning - "my way or highway."
Hours after the winter session of Parliament concluded on Wednesday, the BJP issued a one-line statement: “Kirti Azad, Darbhanga MP, is suspended from party with immediate effect for his anti-party activities.”
Azad told The Indian Express that he would file a PIL in the Delhi High Court on the alleged irregularities in the DDCA because the CBI is “moving very slow”.
“Wait and watch what I do next. Now I will tell everyone,” he said, adding he will move the party’s ‘margdarshak mandal’ which has party veterans like L K Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi to ask if the party suspends someone for speaking against corruption in Delhi’s cricket body.
“I am really very saddened. I never though that BJP would stoop to that level that a person who had joined them from an illustrious Congress family is suspended for fighting corruption,” he said.
“I will go to the ‘margdarshak mandal’ and ask them that if a person speaks against corruption does the party crucify such a person and suspend him,” Azad said when asked about his next move.
