Jethmalani still believes Modi is best PM candidate

May 29, 2013 09:23

Noted lawyer and Rajya Sabha MP Ram Jethmalani has 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.
