'Rejected' persons becoming 'all-in-all' in govt: Azad

Training his guns at Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, suspended BJP MP Kirti Azad today said people "rejected" by the electorate have not only been made ministers but have become "all in all" in the government and the party.
"There are people (in the party), who have been rejected by the people in the elections, have not only been made ministers (in the union government) but have actually become 'sarve-sarva' (all in all) both in the government and in the organisation," Azad told a press meet at his residence here.
He was apparently referring to Jaitley who had lost in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls but was made Union minister.

Stating that it has been over 300 days since he was suspended by the BJP, Azad said "I had not indulged in any anti-party activities but despite this I was suspended...The party should take a decision. Either it should withdraw my suspension or expel me".
In response to a query on being suspended from BJP, the three-time Darbhanga MP said he had raised the issue of corruption in the Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA) of which Jaitley was the all in all.
"My charge of corruption in the cricketing bodies has been corroborated as the Supreme Court has restrained the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) from releasing funds to state bodies and directed for auditing of the Board," he said.

Coming down heavily on senior Bihar BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi, Azad termed him as 'anti-Maithil and anti-Mithila' and said that he has destroyed the party in Bihar.
"Sushil Kumar Modi is anti-Maithil and anti-Mithila. BJP has been destroyed in the state because of him (Sushil)," Azad said.
He also flayed the Centre's recent decision to merge Rail budget with Union budget from the next financial year.
"I opposed the decision of merging Rail budget with Union budget as it would deprive and curtail MPs of their rights in putting their views with regard to common people. The move would adversely affect railway services," Azad said.
