Anti-corruption activist duo Arvind Kejriwal and Prashant Bhushan today dared the Congress and agriculture minister Sharad Pawar to act against BJP national president Nitin Gadkari, saying the ruling parties and opposition are brothers in arms.
They said their accusations against Gadkari have been proved right as reports have shown that most of the Rs 80 crore investment in his cooperative poorti was held by fake companies.
They said that the new revelations on Gadkari confirmed that Congress and BJP are hand in glove. They dismissed corporate affairs minister Veerappa Moily's offer to inquire into the records of Gadkari. "He had done a prone into Vadra's accounts too and said nothing was amiss. Now he would say the same thing about Gadkari too," Bhushan said.
"Our revelations were dismissed as insignificant. But now we have been proved right when we alleged a nexus between NCP and Gadkari in Maharashtra," Kejriwal said.
Kejriwal once again faced trouble today from people who had turned against him within India against corruption.
A woman named Annie Kohli, who claimed to be a former IAC worker, today sought to disrupt a a meeting the activists were having with the media for the second time in a week.
Kejriwal heard her out and associate Yogendra Yadav and later told the media, "There are people who don't agree with our strategy and they are our critics. We welcome all criticism as critics wish our good."
Earlier, IAC activists had said that the people with Kohli were from the BJP in east Delhi and the attacks and efforts to disrupt meetings addressed by Kejriwal was just an opposition conspiracy.
