He added that Kejriwal made the allegations to deflect attention from the probe launched by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) \u201cagainst a particular civil servant\u201d who is working with him. The other AAP leaders who have been charged are Kumar Vishwas, Ashutosh, Sanjay Singh, Raghav Chadha and Deepak Bajpai.<\/p>\n<p>Jaitley said Kejriwal&#8217;s statement was false as the Board of Directors had constituted a committee to supervise the work and he was not a member of the supervisory committee.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Between December 1999 and December 2013, I was the president of DDCA. I discharged my function lawfully and with utmost integrity.<\/p>\n<p>During my entire tenure, I have not received directly or indirectly a single rupee from the (DDCA) association on any account whatsoever. I have not even charged any amount towards expenditure.<\/p>\n<p>A cricket stadium was built at Ferozshah Kotla during my tenure as president. The Executive Committee\/Board of Directors of the DDCA had at the relevant time authorised a committee to supervise the constructions. Broad decisions came up before the board for approval. I was not a member of the committee charged with the construction\/renovation of the stadium,&#8221; he said in his seven-page deposition.<\/p>\n<p>Amidst tight security, Jaitley arrived in the court premises at 1:56 pm and entered the court room at 2 pm for the proceedings. The court has posted the matter for February 3 to record statements of other complainant witnesses in the case.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Tuesday appeared in a Delhi court and said Arvind Kejriwal and five other Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders have made &#8220;false and defamatory&#8221; statements and rejected the charge that he had siphoned off money from the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA).
