Jaitley also questioned West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for supporting Kejriwal. “They even planned to seize them but did not do so after Chief Minister raised the issue”, Sisodia said. “Can any Chief Minister make such a loose comment? The CMO office was neither searched, nor sealed”.
Jaitley told the parliament on Tuesday that the CBI only raided the office of Kejriwal’s principal secretary Rajendra Kumar over transactions in his earlier capacities.
She said the CBI had registered a case against a senior civil servant of the Government of NCT Delhi and six others on allegations that during the period 2007-14, he along with others abused his official position in awarding contracts from the Delhi Government to a private firm. “Finding himself acting as a shield to cover an officer under investigation, the Delhi chief minister has attempted to focus attention on me”, he said.
Mounting a sharp counter-attack on the AAP Government, Union HRD Minister Smiriti Irani described the charges as a “blasphemous and preposterous campaign bordering on political hysteria” created to deflect the public attention from a “corrupt officer” working with Delhi Chief Minister Arvin Kejriwal. When work expands, cost escalations are integral. “By referring to some facts of 2014 and 2015, he can not drag me in”, Jaitley said.
He reported two additional arenas in Delhi’s restoration.
Jaitley has been a chairman of the cricket body in the past. What is his role in DDCA scam?
“Thus, in a nutshell, there are certain irregularities/non-compliance or technical violations, but no fraud (was) noticed, as alleged”. The DDCA also held a press conference to strongly defend Jaitley.
Describing the era of resources for the restoration of Delhi arena, Jaitley said he’d mopped up Rs-35 by promoting numerous areas within the stadium including containers to corporate homes crore.

On bidding to EPIL, a PSU device, which more employed additional companies of the sum total spending about the arena, he explained, the first framework agreement was handed. In a blog posting, Jaitley hit out at Kejriwal for attacking him and the NDA government as well as for using “unacceptable adjectives” against PM Modi in a tweet on the previous day.
