Activist-turned politician Arvind Kejriwal,
who has attacked Union Law Minister Salman Khurshid and Congress
president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra over the issue of
corruption, is expected to come out against BJP president Nitin Gadkari
on Wednesday.
Arvind Kejriwal had on Saturday declared that "five
top politicians", including BJP president Nitin Gadkari, were next in
his firing line. "Five more politicians would be exposed very soon,"
Kejriwal said. "We have received credible evidence against five top
politicians, including Nitin Gadkari," he said.
Now it has to be seen who is in the firing line of Kejriwal Wednesday.
On
Monday, RTI activist and India Against Corruption (IAC) member Anjali
Damania had alleged that Gadkari had tried to approach her through
intermediaries last week. Gadkari allegedly wanted Damania to go slow on
Maharashtra's irrigation scam.
"I was told that Gadkari wanted
to talk to me privately. I got a few calls last week, but they backed
off when I said he will have to meet me in public. I will expose him on
Wednesday," she said. An aide of Gadkari, however, denied any such
claim.
Damania is expected to be in Delhi for a joint press
conference with Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday, during which she may lay
out evidence to support the claim against Gadkari.
Meanwhile,
Kejriwal on Monday said the number of corrupt political leaders to be
exposed by his India Against Corruption in the coming days is growing
bigger and may be in double digits, with "insiders" coming forward to
voluntarily provide information.
