DDCA Scam
New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday accused Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) official of asking for sex in return for selection of cricketers.
“A senior journalist came to me and said his wife was asked to come for sex in return for selection of his son in the cricket team,” Kejriwal told NDTV.
He did not name the journalist.
Kejriwal also said that “apart from the financial irregularities, there were other major wrong things happening including the sex racket”.
He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should decide “whether to make DDCA inquiry null and void to protect (Finance Minister) Arun Jaitley”. He also said on Tuesday his government did not do anything wrong in the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) scam and the CBI is free to conduct an inquiry against him.
“Kejriwal is not scared of CBI, order any inquiry against me,” the chief minister said in an interview with NDTV channel.
Kejriwal alleged the central government was conducting Central Bureau of Investigation raids at his office while turning a “blind eye” to the Vyapam scam of Madhya Pradesh.
Over the matter of alleged irregularities in the DDCA, he said: “Whenever anyone takes the name of DDCA and corruption, (Finance Miniser) Arun Jaitley says he is being defamed.”
“When we (Kejriwal along with Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia) met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, I told him I am like your child, please guide us, let us work without obstructions. He was silent,” he added.
Jaitley was president of the DDCA between 1999-2013. (IANS)
