Arun Jaitley a 'master of half truths and handsome lies', claims AAP; poses 5 questions to him

Keeping up the tirade against Arun Jaitley, the Aam Aadmi Party on Friday claimed that the Finance Minister is the "master of half truths and handsome lies". They also claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party has become Bhartiya Jumla Party and is shying away from replying to the allegations levelled against its leaders and are merely making senseless statements.

Raising corruption allegations against yet again, AAP leader Ashutosh said, "Jaitley in his blog has said that no personal allegations have ever been made against me. It is the biggest lie. Kirti Azad who is from his party had filed a complaint against him.".

Ashutosh also posed five questions to the Union Minister.

1. Why was corporate box given to a person whose director is a relative?

2. Did you pressure the ONGC to give funds to Hockey Federation of India

3. why were the contracts given to front companies of office bearers

4. How did companies have the same email addresses, registered office is also the same and directors are also the same. Did Jaitley know about these fraud companies or not?

5. Why did you hide the facts that DDCA irregularities were punishable?

The AAP had on Thursday lashed out at the Central government for not allowing a probe into alleged irregularities into the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA), and had claimed that all attempts made by the Delhi government to investigate the 'scam' have been thwarted by the Centre.

AAP leader Raghav Chadha had said that DDCA had a budget of Rs 24 crore but additional Rs 90 crore was also spent. "Jaitley said in Parliament that EPIL got contracts though EPIL only got Rs 57 crores. Where is the remaining amount," he asked.

Hitting back at Kejriwal over his allegations, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday said that the Delhi Chief Minister seems to believe in "untruth and defamation delivered in a language that borders on hysteria."

Jaitley had also said that Kejriwal is trying to divert the attention by levelling allegations on him to shield his Principal Secretary Rajendra Kumar. "Finding himself acting as a shield to cover an officer under investigation, the Delhi Chief Minister has attempted to focus attention on me. He repeats endlessly that I misled the Parliament on the Delhi raid and that he has a series of allegations to make against me in relation to my tenure as President of the DDCA," he wrote.
