Continuing his explosive tirade against the Bharatiya Janata Party, NRI businessman Anshuman Mishra on Saturday made several allegations about top leaders of the saffron party, during an interview with STAR News.

Mishra had on Friday alleged that senior BJP leader Murali Manohar Joshi had met 2G scam accused Vinod Goenka and Shahid Balwa.

"They are opposing me because I am a clean person, I am educated and young. They might have not liked me having links with some politicians who weren't in their good books," Mishra said during the interview.

On Arun Jaitley: He considers me a threat because like him, I am also an accomplished lawyer; like him I know top people in the corporate world of Mumbai and Delhi; so he probably thinks I will get into his area.

Can Jaitley deny that he spoke to me several times before the 2009 elections? Why did his secretary send me a congratulatory message on me getting a Rajya Sabha ticket a few days ago?

Why did he accept Christmas gifts from me?

Shahid Balwa

On Sushma Swaraj: Can she deny that she knows Lalit Modi? Can she deny that she went to watch an IPL match on his invitation?

On Shahid Balwa: He is a long time friend of the BJP. All top people of the BJP know him. He has helped the BJP several times in the past.

All political parties take help during elections. I have also helped BJP with funds from my friends.

I am a close friend of Shahid Balwa and Vinod Goenka. Can they deny that Balwa and Goenka didn't stand with the BJP between 2000 and 2012.
