Amid high drama, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Friday left Gujarat for Jaipur after failing to get an appointment with BJP’s prime ministerial candidate and state’s Chief Minister Narendra Modi, whom he had attacked over his claims of clean governance and development.

AAP chief Kejriwal said, “We will meet Narendra Modi whenever I am given an appointment.”

The AAP leader further said, “My colleague Manish Sisodia went to seek an appointment with Modi ji but he was told that the Chief Minister has no time for us.”

Later, his colleague Sisodia also told reporters, “CM’s additional secretary asked me to give a written request for a meeting and said that it will be decided by Modi ji.”

“He (Kejriwal) is ex-chief minister of Delhi but still he was not even allowed to enter Modi’s office,” Sisodia added.

The Gujarat Police earlier stopped Kejriwal’s car mid-way when he was going to meet Chief Minister Narendra Modi at his office. Kejriwal was proceeding towards Modi’s office to meet him with a list of 16 questions, without seeking an appointment.

Ahead of that Kejriwal dismissed Modi’s repeated claims of Gujarat’s development and said that he along with his supporters will meet the Chief Minister at his residence.

Addressing an open press conference, the AAP leader said, “There was a lot of talk about how progressive Gujarat has been, but what we have witnessed in last two days is the exact opposite. What we saw in Gujarat is quite shocking, its exactly opposite to what is being projected about the BJP-ruled state.”

“We will go to Narendra Modi’s residence now and ask him 16 questions,” Kejriwal said.

Further taking on Modi on his own turf in Ahmedabad, Kejriwal said, “Modi claims that corruption is over in Gujarat but people talk about it across the state. Gujarat has high unemployment levels too.”

Attacking the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate, the AAP leader raked up the KG Basin gas pricing issue.

“We will ask Modi ji if he will allow increase of gas prices if he becomes PM,” Kejriwal said, adding, “If Modi meets us, we will convey our concerns to him.”

Meanwhile, the main opposition party has hit back on AAP, saying Kejriwal has become inspector of development.

“Kejriwal has become inspector of development. Congress has entrusted him with this task. He is the Team B of the Congress party,” senior BJP leader MA Naqvi said.

The AAP leader has not taken prior appointment with the Gujarat Chief Minister and it would be interesting to see whether the meeting between the two actually takes place.

Kejriwal’s four-day tour of Gujarat continues to generate heat as he faced protest by the BJP workers here this morning.

According to reports, several BJP workers demonstrated against his visit and asked him to go back.

The workers of BJP shouted anti-AAP slogans when Kejriwal’s convoy entered the city and shouted “Arvind Kejriwal go back” and “why have you come here.”

The BJP workers, who were seen carrying BJP flags, said that the AAP leader is a big liar and his Gujarat visit is nothing but a publicity stunt.

It is to be noted that Kejriwal’s detention in Gujarat over alleged violation of model code of conduct had sparked violent clashes in Delhi and other parts of the country.

The tussle between AAP and the BJP further intensified when an FIR was lodged against Kejriwal for allegedly violating the Model Code of Conduct by using loud speaker at a public meeting at Gandhidham in Kutch district of Gujarat without taking permission from the Election Commission.

The FIR was lodged under section 188 of IPC (disobeying public servant’s order), Superintendent of Police, Dipak Meghani said.

“The whole event was video-graphed. He addressed the gathering using loud speaker in the presence of election officers,” Meghani said, adding “Election Commission permitted us to file FIR against him.”

Calling it an insult after making it assemble a special bench, the Supreme Court Friday ticked off the Sahara group for not coming out with a proper proposal for refunding Rs. 20,000 crore of investors money and asked it to come out with an “honourable” plan.

Subrata Roy will remain in Tihar jail till next Tuesday when the court posted the matter for further hearing.

The apex court expressed displeasure that the Sahara group asked for assembling of the special bench to hear the matter but did not provide a proper proposal. “It’s an insult to us,” it observed.

The Sahara group submitted that it was ready to make a cash payment of Rs. 2,500 crore within three days and gave an assurance that it will pay the rest of Rs. 14,900 crore in five installments by the end of July, 2015.

A bench of justices K S Radhakrishnan and J S Khehar rejected the proposal after SEBI also opposed it on the ground that group is supposed to pay Rs. 34,000 crore and not just Rs. 17,400 crore which it agreed to pay.

“It is not a proper proposal and the proposal should be honourable,” the bench said.

“You make us assemble (sitting of the special bench) and then you are saying that you won’t be able to pay the money. It is a big insult to us. It is not proper in my view. You should not make us assemble if you don’t have a proper proposal to make,” Justice Khehar said.

Senior advocate C A Sundaram, who was accompanied by other senior lawyers, tried to convince the court that it is not possible at this stage to raise more money as the main person, Roy, is behind bars and his people have no access to him in judicial custody.

“The one person who can find money is not in a position to do it. He is the only one who can arrange money. He can work out if he is allowed to get out. We are also not allowed to access him,” he pleaded.

At this, the bench said that it can make arrangements to allow Roy’s financial consultants and lawyers to meet him in custody but made it clear that there is no way of getting away from paying the amount.

“For the last one and half years he (Roy) has been out and he has been behind only for the last few days,” the bench said adding “We can arrange meetings but you must pay the amount”.

The bench then ordered that financial consultants and lawyers of Roy will be allowed to meet him between 10 and 12 AM every day.

Another senior advocate Ravi Shankar Prasad claimed that not a single investor had filed any complaint against the group and the court should also consider that it is also a matter of livelihood for 14 lakh Sahara employees.

The bench then shot back saying “is there any real investor”.

The matter was initially mentioned before a bench of Justices Radhakrishnan and Vikramajit Sen in the morning but it refused to look ito the proposal on the ground that SEBI was not given a copy of the proposal.

The Supreme Court of India on Friday deferred hearing on the findings of the Justice Mudgal Committee investigation into corruption in the lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament and posted the matter for next hearing on March 25.

Earlier, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) filled an affidavit in which it requested the apex court not to reveal the contents of the sealed envelope submitted by the Mudgal committee.

A three-member inquiry committee, led by Justice Mukul Mudgal, submitted its findings in a sealed enveloped on February 10. It is believed that the 170-page-report, with annexures running into more than 4000 pages, includes statements of players and officials associated with IPL.

The committee’s report concluded that Gurunath Meiyappan, BCCI president N Srinivasan’s son-in-law, was the de facto owner of the Chennai Super Kings and that he had not only bet on the IPL, but also passed information on the matches to others.

BCCI Raj Kundra, one of the co-owners of the Rajasthan Royals, was also investigated but the committee did not find conclusive evidence that he bet on IPL matches. It did, however, recommend further investigation into the allegations of Kundra.

The BCCI itself appointed a two-member panel, comprising retired judges T Jayaram Chouta and R Balasubramanian, last July to investigate on the alleged claims of widespread corruption in IPL. But the penal had declared that there was no evidence of any wrongdoing on the part of Gurunath Meiyappan and Raj Kundra, the two who were also probed by the Mudgal committee.

The other two members of the Mudgal committee are additional solicitor general L Nageswara Rao and Assam Cricket Association member Nilay Dutta. It was set up by the Supreme Court in October last year to conduct an independent inquiry into the allegations of corruption against Gurunath and Raj Kundra, as well as betting and spot-fixing in IPL.
