BJP suspends Kirti Azad for taking on Jaitley

Kejriwal had alleged that the CBI raid on his office, apparently in connection with a corruption investigation against an officer working with him, was really aimed at “removing” vital papers connected with the DDCA scam. “I will also ask margdarshak mandal to come forward and look into the issue”, Azad told reporters here. “I supported d (the) Govt. stand in Parliament & wish to inform my party BJP spokespersons that no one can speak w/o (without) Speaker’s permission”, he said in another tweet.

Meyer was then pressed by the reporters for the identity of the team, with most believing it to be the Cleveland Browns. Both coaches were asked about college coaches being tempted to join the National Football League ranks.

While his letter to Shah on Friday didn’t sound confrontationist, the suspended BJP MP has indicated that he continue his battle against “DDCA corruption” and sought to confirm from BJP president that DDCA Corruption falls out of the purview of BJP.

“There has not been a single instance of blemish in my association with BJP which has given me every opportunity to work within the party constitution”.

Simultaneously, four party veterans – Lal Krishna Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Shanta Kumar and Yashwant Sinha – have met to discuss Azad’s suspension.

Thursday’s was not a meeting of the Mandal but of the veterans who also took a stand widely seen as critical of Modi and Shah after the BJP’s huge defeat in the November assembly polls in Bihar.

The BJP central leadership was very angry with Azad for reportedly turning down Shah’s request to not take up the DDCA issue further. Swamy has filed the Herald case accusing Sonia Gandhi and Rahul of financial irregularities, leading to allegations from Congress that it was orchestrated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Jaitley. “I have no intention of embarrassment or indulge in anti party activities(sic)”, Mr Azad has told the party chief.

He said Jaitley was a man of integrity and clean public image and the attack on him was due to political reasons.
