Suspended BJP MP Kirti Azad today targetted more politicians, including party MP and BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur, involved in cricket governance and claimed the SFIO probe report had recommended "prosecution" of Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in the DDCA affairs.


He also appeared to support Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's allegation that a DDCA official had sought sexual favours from a woman if she wanted her son to be part of its cricket team, saying it was not a new thing and he had raised a similar issue in 2007.

Demanding government oversight of sports administration, he blamed "seven-eight politicians affiliated to the BCCI for the failure of then Sports Minister Ajay Maken in pushing a bill in this regard when the UPA was in power.

Hitting back at Jaitley who had called him a "Trojan horse", he said, "these were the Trojan horses who did not let it come. Trojan horses in and outside the Cabinet and outside. I hope it does come. I just love that man (Maken)."

Asked to name these politicians, he named Jaitley, Thakur, Rajeev Shukla, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Farooq Abdullah and Praful Patel. All of them were then, and most still are, involved in cricket administration except Patel, who is All India Football Federation President.
