Live! Will expose 'undesirable elements' in BJP: Jethmalani

May 28, 2013 23:39

Noted lawyer and Rajya Sabha MP Ram Jethmalani tonight threatened to "expose" the "undesirable elements" within BJP and suggested that his expulsion from the party's primary membership was done because of his campaign against black money.

At the same time, Jethmalani refused to find fault with Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, who is also part of the BJP's Parliamentary Board that took the decision to expel him for six years on charges of "breach of discipline".

Terming the action against him as "stupidity", the 89-year-old lawyer alleged that there are people within the party who do not wish to speak about black money and recover it from the criminals.

"There are undesirable elements in the party, who are out to demolish the party from within. They are in league with the corrupt rulers, whom I want to displace. And the cause of my expulsion is the presence of those undesirable elements in the party. I will not rest content till I expose them," Jethmalani told news channel Times Now from New York.
