Sacked AAP leader Mishra vows to 'expose' corruption; to meet L-G

May 07, 2017 10:05

Ousted Aam Aadmi Party leader Kapil Mishra will meet Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal at 10.30 am today.

After being sacked on Saturday, former water minister Mishra had claimed to 'expose' the involvement of certain AAP leaders in an alleged scam in the supply of water.

On being asked on the possibility of him willing to join the Bharatiya Janata Party, he said, "I am one of the founding members of AAP and will always be in the party, those who are corrupt will be sacked from the party."

Mishra said that he will unveil his 'expose' at 11.30 am.

Mishra was axed from the cabinet days after he sided with senior party leader Kumar Vishwas who has been at loggerheads with the AAP leadership.

"I was not informed of the decision and as per my knowledge, it was taken unilaterally by (AAP chief Arvind) Kejriwal. The cabinet or the Political Affairs Committee (the AAP's top decision-making body) was not involved," Mishra said on Saturday.

Mishra became the fourth AAP minister to be sacked after Jitendra Singh Tomar, Asim Ahmed Khan and Sandeep Kumar, since the AAP stormed to power in 2015. -- ANI
