Kejriwal to launch his political party on Nov 26

New Delhi, Nov 23: Anti-corruption activist Arvind Kejriwal has said, he will launch his new political party on November 26 at Delhi's Parliament Street.  Replying to queries in Rajat Sharma's Aap Ki Adalat show, Kejriwal

The anti-corruption activist said: "An agency like the CBI has been in existence for the last 50 years, and it managed to send only three big politicians to jail - Narbahadur Bhandari, Sukh Ram and Bangaru Laxman.


 
"It's not that the CBI doesn't have competent officers, but they are not allowed to work due to political interference. Has anybody the courage to order the CBI to probe Robert Vadra?", Kejriwal asked.
 
The IAC activist alleged Robert Vadra's case was not related to mere business deals with the DLF.
 
"Vadra bought land in February 2008 for Rs 7 crore, and in two and a half months, he sold that land for Rs 58 crore to DLF. How? Because, the land use policy was changed. Can anybody get the land use policy changed in two-and-a-half months? He got it done, because their party is in power in Haryana."
 
Asked about the probes done into scams under court's supervision, Kejriwal said: "Suresh Kalmadi was sent to jail, and he soon came out on bail, because the CBI did not oppose his bail application. Then what can the judge do?
 
"Even in the Bihar fodder scam, the chargesheet against Lalu Yadav was filed after several decades", he added.
 
"Who will probe Reliance, Gadkari, Vadra, Salman Khurshid? Law doesn't apply to them. In Maharashtra, police can kill three farmers if they demand higher sugarcane prices, but if Reliance demands higher KG basin gas price, the oil minister is removed", said Kejriwal.
