DDCA row : Suspended Kirti Azad vows to spill more beans

New Delhi, Dec 24 (IBNS) Suspended BJP MP Kirti Azad has threatened to roll out “more revelations” in the coming days and said he did not expect the party “to stoop so low” by suspending hi for “speaking against corruption”.

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.
