In protest, organized in more than 275 districts and 17 state capital, Aam Aadmi Party volunteers from across the country set up stalls to rent out their laptops, printers and pooja thalis to DDCA. Investigations into the DDCA scam have revealed loot of public money under Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and and his team. It’s been found that crores of rupees were paid to shell companies floated using fake addresses and fake identities. This money was round-tripped to the DDCA officials under Mr. jaitley. The investigations have also revealed that companies and vendors were paid 16,900 rupees per day for taking laptops on rent. 3000 rupees were paid as daily rent for printers and pooja thalis were taken on rent for up to 5000 rupees per day.

Aam Aadmi Party volunteers set up stalls on Jaitley’s model of business and offered laptops, printers and pooja thalis on rent. Aam Aadmi Party volunteers also took out protest march saying they also call Arun Jaitley corrupt and dared Jaitley to file defamation cases against them.

Addressing a press conference in Delhi, Party leaders Ashutosh, Dilip Pandey and Saurabh Bhardwaj said, the DDCA scam has exposed BJP’s top leader’s involvement in corruption. It’s a glaring example of how BJP leader Arun Jaitley misused his position to facilitate a scam. It’s shocking that a person who presided over systematic loot of public money at the cost of game of cricket for more than a decade, is country’s Finance Minister today.

Party’s national spokesperson Ashutosh said that the BJP has given a new definition to probity in public life. The MP who wage d a consistent war against corruption in the DDCA for 9 long years, was first ignored, then humiliated and finally suspended from the party. Ashutosh said, “it seems corruption is the core value of BJP’s ideology, because people attacking corruption are being suspended from the BJPin the name of anti-party activity. The way BJP is saving its Kalmadi, people of this country are clear that BJP and Congress are two facets of the same coin.”

Convenor of party’s Delhi unit Dilip Pandey said, “Aam Aadmi’s country-wide protest has received great response. Arun Jaitley’s DDCA scam has cheated the common man. The Aam Aadmi Party has decided to organize a massive Jan Sabha on 10 January at Jantar Mantar in Delhi on the issue of DDCA scam and BJP’s decision to save the culprit.””The party will reach out to the common man and expose BJP’s double standards on the issue of corruption,” added Pandey.

Delhi state Secretary Saurabh Bhardwaj said, ” the Delhi unit of the Aam Aadmi Party had organized the biggest ever protest in the Capital on the issue and the Jan Sabha on Arun Jaitley’s corruption in the DDCA will be historic. We sincerely hope that Prime Minister Modi will understand the public sentiment against corruption and sack Mr. jaitley from his cabinet to facilitate a free and fair probe.”
