Activist-turned-politician Arvind Kejriwal tweeted this morning, "Watch Out for today's expose. It cud be pretty big."
Mr Kejriwal launched a political party earlier this month, a spin-off from the civil society group, India Against Corruption. He first focused on the alleged corruption of businessman Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
In the last few days, Mr Kejriwal and his supporters - members of the India Against Corruption - have shared documents that highlight allegedly illicit deals struck by politicians to favour their own businesses or those linked to their families. Mr Kejriwal and his as-yet-unnamed party have also levelled corruption charges against Law Minister Salman Khurshid and BJP president Nitin Gadkari.
Mr Kejriwal has accused Mr Gadkari of thoroughly compromising his obligation as a Leader of the Opposition and colluding with the ruling Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) in Maharashtra for furthering his business interests at the cost of farmers.
Mr Gadkari, who recently got an unprecedented second term as BJP president, has denied any ties with the NCP and its top leaders and says this is an effort to politically malign him. He said all his efforts have actually been focused on helping beleaguered farmers in Vidarbha. The BJP is in Opposition in Maharashtra, where the NCP is in an alliance government with the Congress.
