BeautifulGame Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 The letter nobody's talking about: When BJP MP Kirti Azad wrote to Arun Jaitley about corruption in DDCA This is a five-month old letter, and yet it has, for some reason, failed to generate any vigorous discussions on prime time television. Media coverage of this letter has been conspicuous by its absence.When an MP of the ruling party writes a letter to an all-powerful Union Minister of his own party's government, levelling some serious allegations, it is hard to fathom why the media would give it a miss.This is the same media that runs hour-long prime time television shows titled 'Who killed Sunanda Pushkar' - named in a way that suggests that the killer(s) would be uncovered in the show. Yes, the veracity of the allegations have to be independently verified and the writer of the letter only seems too happy to furnish 'proof'. He has, after all, attached the 'proofs' with the letter.The letter has been written by BJP MP Kirti Azad. Azad is a former cricketer and a former senior functionary of The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA).The letter addressed to Union Minister Arun Jaitley - who was the president of the DDCA for 14 years before he ended his association in December - seeks to remind him of the 'scores of letters' written to him to draw attention to 'scores of infraction of rules, procedure, fiscal indiscipline, misgovernance, maladminstration, and siphoning away of funds from the coffers of DDCA.'The writer of the letter accuses Jaitley of 'calling me names' and 'running down my family members,' implying that he was targeted for his letters to the then DDCA chief.The writer further accuses Jaitley of trying to 'mislead us' and finds 'shocking' his 'personal interest in defending' his 'valuable colleagues.' I have seen the unimaginable rot in DDCA under your misrule for 14 consecutive years. I am literally numbed at your actions and inactions to control/manage the affairs of a small association like DDCA," says the letter.The writer further says that 'time has come to seek accountability' from Jaitley.Now that action has to be taken against all office bearers, you own role has to naturally come in sharp focus, since the Ministry under your charge is supposed to take action against the key Management Personnel and all office bearers at that time - yourself included."Inevitably, the letter next mentions money and some numbers - some big numbers, in fact."The dubious role of certain office bearers who have been defalcating at least Rs 25 crores every year, and the cover up provided by the auditors should wake you and Finance Ministry officials to the massive fraud that has perpetrated in DDCA every year."The letter then goes on to name the President of India Hockey Federation, Narinder Batra as one who enjoys Jaitley's 'total backing and protection.' It insinuates that Batra has been abusing Azad in e-mails, copies of which the former has been forwarding to Jaitley.I understand that you are also a Director in their HI (Hockey India) League, which shows your political patronage has resulted in the unauthorized in the takeover of a sports organization that had been running hockey since 1935."Next, the letter goes on to make some other allegations before signing off with a 'suggestion' to the minister to 'initiate action against DDCA.'If you still have faith in the rule of law, I would suggest that you should initiate action against DDCA for recovering at least Rs. 150 crores which has ostensibly been defalcated by a few office bearers."Our Government has begun to clean up the mess left behind by UPA. I only hope that the mess left by you in DDCA is also cleaned up in one fell swoop..."The battle between Azad and the DDCA has been running for some time now. The DDCA had, in fact, sought a lifetime ban on Azad three years ago.Very recently, members of the National Capital Territory (NCT) Cricket Association wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue of corruption in the DDCA.https://www.saddahaq.com/the-letter-nobodys-talking-about-when-bjp-mla-kirti-azad-wrote-to-arun-jaitley-about-corruption-in-ddcaSo Jaitley is not only the face of the corrupt DDCA but also one of the major factor behind the turmoil Hockey faced in the last few years acc to Azad.

zubinpepsi Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 If this will stop politicians to get to power in cricket I'm all for it. Hope jaitley is found guilty
bulbul Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Delhi government report in DDCA corruption don't mention Jaitley....looks like AAP has to re write the report after all these hoopla
asterix Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) So what else does AK want now? Dont know about that but the CBI raid on AK's Principal Sec. shouldn't be a :fail: else it would've been a pretty stupid move by the CBI to raid during Parliament session... Unless,Jaitley itself wanted to divert attention to AK from the Gandhis... AK being eternal attention seeker grabbed the opportunity and the move boomranged on Jaitley...

Adi_91 Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 What still irks me is, why did it take the CBI raid for AK to start accusing Mr. Jaitley? If he had proof, he should have started informing the public right away, not wait for the CBI raid to start the accusations. I see something red right there. adi B 1

He wants publicity from every action...to maximise publicity this guy will do anything.
Adi_91 Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Are you new to Kejriwal politics? He wants publicity from every action...to maximise publicity this guy will do anything.And not to forget, he hijacked Mr. Azad's documents and called it as proof.
adi B Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 What now? No ho halla by kejriwal against jaitley? Just like his propaganda against dixit went off the air after 2013 delhi elections .this jaitley case was only to divert the attention from his own wrong doing amd gain political mileage,if he was serious against corruption,he'd have fought against both dixit and jaitley till eternity jalebi_bhai 1
