AAP sacks Kapil Mishra from party

May 08, 2017 20:16

The Aam Aadmi party on Monday suspended MLA Kapil Mishra from the primary membership of the party, a day after he made corruption charges against party convener and Delhi chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

The suspension came hours after Mishra's press conference in which he alleged that Health Minister Satyendar Jain helped Kejriwal settle land deals worth Rs 50 crore for his brother-in-law.

Mishra claimed that sitting in the chief minister's chair has changed Kejriwal and that he was not the same anti-corruption crusader as before.

"The Arvind Kejriwal we have worshiped and prayed for is not the same man today. The post of chief minister has changed him. I want to ask him one thing, will he leave the post after Satyendar Jain goes to jail? Mishra said.
