Calling Jaitley a ‘master of half truth and beautiful lies’, AAP leader Ashutosh made new allegations against him and said his comment that there was no specific charges against him was ‘misleading’.
Addressing reporters, Ashu-tosh accused DDCA of allowing private firm 21st Century to sub-lease 10 corporate boxes at Feroz Shah Kotla stadium and claimed the firm, owned by a friend of Jaitley, was extended financial benefit to the tune of over R5 crore for the deal.
He also asked Jaitley to clarify who were members of the 21st Century and whether it had any of his kin. Ashutosh also accused Jaitley of putting pressure on ONGC to give an amount of
Rs 5 crore to Hockey India and sought reasons behind it.
Alleging huge financial bungling in reconstruction of the stadium, the AAP leader said, “The registered address, e-mail IDs and directors of these [nine] companies were same. Did Jaitley know about these companies and is it not corruption.”
