New Delhi: Unidentified people created ruckus at India Against Corruption (IAC) activist Arvind Kejriwal’s press conference that was held on Wednesday.

“We knew that this will happen if we raise our voice against political leaders like Salman Khurshid and expose collusion between industrialists and political parties. If they think they can suppress our voice, then that is not going to happen. We will keep raising our voice against corruption,” said Kejriwal.

In his third expose, Kejriwal attempted to expose the politician-industrialist nexus and directly named chairman of RIL, Mukesh Ambani as colluding with the Congress and the BJP to raise the price of gas in the country.

Kejriwal started his press conference in the national capital with the Radia audio tapes which allegedly had conversation with the lobbyist and son-in-law of former PM of India Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

The conversation purpotedly had them discussing portfolios of various ministers.

The second audio tape had a conversation between Nira Radia and Mukesh Ambani, where the Reliance chairman is being asked if he was happy with the allocation of portfolios to certain ministers. Mukesh Ambani was quoted in the tape as saying that the Congress party was in his 'pocket".

Raking up the KG Basin issue, Kejriwal said that former oil minister Jaipal Reddy was removed in the latest Cabinet reshuffle because he was not toeing the line of Reliance and resisted the company's attempt to raise the price of gas.

Mr. Digvijay sent some of his men to Kejriwal’s press conference to get the answers to his questions. Mr. Digvijay should understand the working in Govt organizations, how transfers are done or how people manage to stay in the same office/place for long tenures. It is not the individual but the system which is corrupt. People can stay at one place by influence or bribe, if this is corruption, improve the system. If Mr. Digvijay thinks Mr. Kejriwal’s wife has done some thing wrong by staying in Delhi office for so long by bribing some one then he will find at least half of Indians are corrupt as most of the people at some stage bribed officials while getting a Ration Card, caste certificate, passport, driving licence, railway ticket or some thing like that. Therefor asking such questions will not solve the problem of congress and Kejriwal will continue his job of exposing the corrupt.

The immediate effect of to-days IAC press conference is the whip issued to congress men by its president to not to answer any questions from media on this subject as, according to congress, Kejriwal gets publicity if congress responds media persons on this subject. Congress feels that this way they can save their face in media and public and also suppress Kejriwal’s importance in public. Some people during the debate in TV say that nothing new has been exposed by IAC as all this is in public domain already. But these people must understand that a AAM ADMI has no access to public domain, many do not even understand public domain. These facts were there in news in parts and with time gaps and hence not much impact on public at that time. But now when every thing has been narrated in simple language and in whole, will impact every one and RIL and congress is definitely going to be effected. The reputation of RIL will go down and may be tomorrow we see the shares of RIL FALLING SHARPLY.

I appreciate Arvind Kejriwal`s efforts in exposing the corrupt, corruption and now the partners in corruption with the processes followed. Aam admi at large now is made to face the situation more boldly. He is made aware of most of the facts and is rather prepared to take decisions on accepting with open eyes or resist it. Yes, people are educated in understanding their rightsas well. I thank IAC for their efforts. Thanks once again.A
