The Delhi and District Cricket Association today strongly refuted allegations of 'gross financial irregularities' against Finance Minister and its former president Arun Jaitley, saying that such charges were 'absolutely rubbish'.

Hours after the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party targeted Jaitley and demanded his resignation over alleged 'gross financial irregularities' in the DDCA when he headed it from 1999 to 2013, DDCA working president Chetan Chauhan held a press conference to rebut all the allegations.

"Some allegations have been raised against DDCA and it needs clarification as everyone is stating their point. First thing is allegation of irregularities on stadium construction. Stadium is made of Rs 141 crore," Chauhan said.

"I rubbish allegations against ex president (Jaitley). I would like to thank Jaitley ji for taking care of renovation and making this a state-of-the-art stadium," he added.

According to Chauhan, the Serious Fraud Investigation Office investigated the irregularities and nothing save a case of embezzlement was found.
