AAP’s former cabinet minister Kapil Mishra alleges Kejriwal of money laundering
A day after he was sacked from the Arvind Kejriwal Cabinet, former Minister Kapil Mishra has alleged corruption charges at the Delhi Chief Minister himself. He said he saw Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain give Kejriwal ₹2 crore. “Satyendar Jain gave ₹2 crore to Arvind Kejriwal and the transaction happened before my eyes,” Mishra told the media at Raj Ghat on Sunday. “I had thought that Kejriwal will not tolerate corruption but he needs to reveal the reason behind the transaction,” he added.
“Day before yesterday (Friday), I saw Jain hand over Rs 2 crore in cash to Kejriwal at his residence. When I asked about the money, Kejriwal refused to answer,” Mishra told the media, a day after being sacked on Saturday.
Mishra said he had informed Lt Governor Anil Baijal about the issue and will provide details to investigating agencies as well. Sisodia rejected the allegation. “The kind of allegations against Kejriwal are unsubstantiated. No one will believe them. There is no substance in this allegation.” Sisodia pointed out that the allegations came after Mishra was removed as minister.
Mishra’s allegation have plunged the AAP into further crisis, soon after its defeat in the municipal polls. Mishra is known to be close to AAP leader Kumar Vishwas, with whom Kejriwal has forged an uneasy truce after he made comments critical of the AAP.
Mishra said many issues had been raised against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the past, including irregularities in funding during the Punjab elections, “but we always thought Kejriwalji did not have knowledge about them.
