Ignoring warnings from his party, the BJP, former cricketer Kirti Azad has started a media conference, which, he said, is an expose "against corruption" in DDCA - the Delhi cricket body.

"DDCA gave money to a lot of companies and nature of work was never told," he added.

Contract were given out to fraud companies, payments were made, without any verification:

"I just want to expose corruption, the accounts of it will be explained later. I repeat, this is not a personal or against one person. It is against corruption," the lawmaker from Bihar said.

"Let me start out by saying I'm a big fan of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his campaign against corruption... We are going to make an audio video presentation that WikiLeaks4India has produced," Kirti Azad said at the media conference in Delhi.
