Delhi and District Cricket Association on Thursday may have strongly refuted Aam Aadmi Party's allegations of financial bunglings by finance minister and its former chief Arun Jaitley but former India cricketer Kirti Azad has threatened to reveal more against his senior BJP colleague.

AAP alleged huge financial bunglings in DDCA during Jaitley's 13-year-old tenure as its chief, saying large amounts were siphoned off through fake companies besides other irregularities including in team selection.

DDCA's working president Chetan Chauhan said that Jaitley had in fact worked for the betterment of cricket in general and had made the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium into a world class facility and it was uncalled for to drag him into this controversy.

In an exclusive interview to India Today's Consulting Editor Rajdeep Sardesai, Azad said he would reveal a lot more than what AAP did today in a press conference.

"I will reveal everything at 4 pm on Sunday. What AAP has shown is not even 15 per cent of what I have. "My fight is against corruption, not against a party or an individual.

"I am not afraid of anyone or being suspended. I have done nothing wrong; I have been raising this issue for eight years. CBI had arrested DDCA officials in 1982 but nothing has changed.

"I will not back down and I will continue to speak out. Mr Jaitley was DDCA president before he became the Finance Minister."

Kirti further alleged that DDCA made payments of Rs 87 crores to 14 fake companies. "For the construction of Kotla stadium, Rs 57 crores was spent instead of Rs 27 crores and surprisingly there is no documentation of these expenditure. During that time, Mr Jaitley was the DDCA president and didn't act despite knowing everything.

Former India spinner Bishan Singh Bedi supported Azad and attacked the finance minister. "I'm not concerned about the politics, I'm concerned about the game. The head of the organisation is held responsible if anything wrong happens," Bedi said referring to Jaitley's tenure as DDCA chief.

"Even now 'Kotla me patta nahi hilta' without Arun Jaitley's permission." Bedi added.
