Following Rajan’s exit, Swamy takes aim at Kejriwal, vows to ‘expose’ him

Subramanian Swamy accused Kejriwal of fraud and said he would soon expose the Delhi Chief Minister.

New Delhi:

BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Sunday joined his colleague Mahesh Giri’s hunger strike outside Arvind Kejriwal's residence in Delhi over the MM Khan murder case and said he will now focus on exposing the Chief Minister.

Swamy who had been advocating for the ouster of RBI governor Raghuram Rajan said that since Rajan has decided to step down, he can now focus his attention on Arvind Kejriwal.

-"All his life he (Kejriwal) has done fraud. He says he was a meritorious student in IIT but I have records of how he got his admission...which I will reveal in a press conference. Till now I was Rajan ke peechhe (was going after Raghuram Rajan) and he is now gone,-" Swamy said.

Meanwhile, Arvind Kejriwal demanded that Mahesh Giri be arrested in connection with the murder of NDMC official M M Khan even as he accused the Prime Minister of -"shielding-" him.

The BJP MP had asked Kejriwal to either prove his charge against him or -"resign-" from the post of Chief Minister.

In a tweet, Kejriwal demanded that Giri should be arrested.

-"He shud be arrested n interrogated by Modi police in MM Khan murder case. Modi police shielding him,-" he said.

Kejriwal, in a letter to Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung, had accused him of trying to -"save-" Giri and New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) vice-chairman Karan Singh Tanwar in Khan's murder.

Giri had asked Kejriwal for a public debate over his allegations.

In a letter to Kejriwal on June 16, Giri had invited him to Constitution Club to produce -"evidence-" he had against him in the M M Khan murder case on Sunday 4 PM.

Kejriwal did not accept the challenge following which Giri, accompanied by his party supporters, reached the Chief Minister's flagstaff Road residence and sat on hunger strike.

Khan, an estate officer of NDMC, was shot dead in Jamia Nagar on May 16, a day before he was scheduled to pass the final order on the lease terms of a hotel which was functioning on a property leased out by the civic body.
