Big fan of PM Modi's anti-corruption campaign: Kirti Azad

Azad, who raised the issue of corruption in DDCA, said that his fight is not against any individual

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Kirti Azad on Sunday said that he is a big fan of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his campaign against corruption.

Addressing a press conference here at the press club, the former cricketer said, "I'm a big fan of our Prime Minister and his campaign against corruption."

Azad, who held a press conference to expose biggest corruption in the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) also said that his fight was not against any individual but it was against corruption.

The DDCA came under scrutiny after Azad had raised the issue of financial irregularities within the association.
 

On a complaint filed by former cricketer Bishen Singh Bedi and other cricketers, the Delhi Government had ordered a probe into the issue.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had earlier hit out hard at Finance Minister Arun Jaitley over alleged corruption during his tenure as DDCA President.

Addressing the media, AAP leaders Kumar Vishwas, Ashutosh, Raghav Chadha and Sanjay Singh collectively stated, "The main objective of CBI raid at Delhi Secretariat and taking control of ACB was to prevent alleged graft in DDCA during Arun Jaitley's tenure coming to light."

They added that the scam included siphoning off money by creating fake companies between 1999 and 2013.
