Maharashtra irrigation scam whistle-blower and AAP leader Anjali Damania today claimed that she would "expose" five more alleged "scams" of BJP heavyweight Nitin Gadkari with whome she has had a long-running battle over corruption charges.
The 44-year-old RTI activist, who was recently made the AAP nominee to contest Lok Sabha elections from Nagpur, said she was ready to face and fight Gadkari.
In the past, Damania has accused the former BJP President of being hand in glove with Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar.
However, both Gadkari and BJP have denied the allegation. There were also reports that Gadkari had sued Damania.
BJP has alleged that Damania has targeted Gadkari because of her own land issues in Maharashtra.
"I was reluctant to fight a poll earlier because of my small kids but in the changing scenario, when AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal gave away his chair of Delhi Chief Minister to fight corruption in the country, how can I sit back home ? Hence, I agreed to the party nomination," Damania told PTI.
"I have collected enough material to expose his five more alleged scams..Now I am ready to face and fight him in the 2014 LS polls," Damania said.
"Our fight is against corruption and we want to bring a change and now is the time to begin and bring it," she added.
