Mishra had been a minister in the Kejriwal cabinet since February 2015, when the AAP government came to power.

How did Satyendra Jain get those cash? I asked Kejriwal to offer a apology. But Kejriwal is silent.

When I asked him, he said that in politics certain things happen which will be revealed later.

I trusted Kejriwal, whom I thought to be clean. There were several funding related issues in Punjab. I though Kejriwal would act on it. I had this trust in him since two years. But two days back, I saw Satyendra Jain giving a bribe of 2 crore rupees to Arvind Kejriwal at his residence.

Kapil Mishra says that he is ready to go to CBI and the anti-corruption Bureau against Kejriwal and his cabinet colleagues. He said that he will expose Satyendra Jain's corrupt practise.

I could have been sacked before too. I was being praised initially by every AAP leader. There were no talks of me being sacked. Now the timing of the axe raises questions.

Speaking to News18, BJP said that Arvind Kejriwal to resign as chief minister and dissolve the Assembly to seek fresh mandate from the people. BJP also added that it will go to the public to put pressure on Kejriwal. The party said that a cabinet colleague exposing Kejriwal is a serious issue.

No moral right for Kejriwal to continue as CM

Accompanying Kapil Mishra to the Rajghat, his wife backed him and said that AAP took precedence over family. She also said that Arvind Kejriwal did wrong by sacking him: Kapil Mishra 's wife.

Congress leader Ajay Maken said that the expose is in line with the findings in the Shinglu Panel report on nepotism by the Kejriwal government. Maken also added why there was no action on the Shunglu Panel report. On Kapil Mishra's allegations, he said that a former cabinet colleague making such charge is serious and cannot be dismissed.

Reacting to the expose, Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia said, " MLAs were being heckled by the public for the lack of water. This made Kejriwal to trigger a cabinet reshuffle. With respect to the allegations made by Kapil Mishra, they are baseless. I have no answers for them."

Speaking to India Today, former AAP leader and Mumbai-based social activist Mayank Gnadhi said that the party is becoming just like other parties and is going down the slippery slope and the party's decline will not stop for now.

Talking to News18, the Sacked AAP minister said that Arvind Kejriwal is running away from media. He also said that the Jain will go to jail in the next 8 to 10 days.

Addressing a press conference, Congress leader Ajay Maken said that the party will collect 10 lakh signatures against the Kejriwal government in the next four to five days in order to remind him of the 'right ot recall'.

Electricity and water are the two main promises that AAP government fulfilled after coming to.power in 2015. Every household has been given 20,000 litres of free water but free water failed to reach the most deprived area in Delhi — Sangam Vihar.

Sacked Minister for Water Resources, Kapil Mishra, might have taken to theatrics by visiting Rajghat to pay tribute to Mahatma Gandhi before speaking to media. However, his allegations against his party top leadership cannot be ignored.

Even Mishra as the water resources minister failed to bring Sangam Vihar under the ambit of Delhi Jal Board.

Yet two years later, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has failed to provide relief to Sangam Vihar — Asia's largest unorganised colony. People in this colony still buy water every week from tanker mafias. Earlier, the Congress party had been at the epicentre of this water tanker scam.

AAP candidate Prakash Jarwal became MLA for the first time from this area promising that he would make the Sangam Vihar residents free from the clutches of water tanker mafia and provide regular free supply of water.

Has AAP fail to fulfil its promise to provide clean water?

In what looked like an almost supportive statement, Swarajya India leader and former AAP member, Yogendra Yadav has said that while he can believe allegations of authoritarianism and greed for power against the Delhi chief minister, he will need solid proof to believe that Kejriwal can be corrupt.

Whether or not Kampil Mishra's allegations hold any merit, right from Kejriwal to Mishra and local MLA of Sangam Vihar, the party leaders have to answer why they failed to end the water tanker mafias and why Sangam Vihar residents still do not have access to drinking water.

Meanwhile... as AAP leaders trade barbs, party must answer some pertinent questions

"I had always believed that one person who is incorruptible is Arvind Kejriwal. I always thought that he will fix everything within the party as soon as he gets proof of irregularities. But my faith was betrayed. I couldn't sleep at night when I saw Kejriwal accept cash with my own eyes," Mishra said.

My faith in Kejriwal has been betrayed: Kapil Mishra

Kapil Mishra's ouster became inevitable the very day he towed a different line from that of AAP on the issue of EVMs. He didn't agree with party leadership that BJP won MCD election by manipulating EVMs.

"Since these allegations have been levelled from within the party, I think these are not just allegations but a witness' statement," Tiwari said. He added that the people have already punished the party.

This is a witness statement not just allegations: Manoj Tiwari

"Arvind Kejriwal neither has the moral right, neither the legal standing to remain Delhi chief minister as it is unprecedented that a cabinet colleague of a sitting chief minister has levelled such serious charges. Kejriwal must seek apology from his party men and quit as Delhi CM as soon as possible," BJP's Delhi unit chief Manoj Tiwari said.

According to former AAP members and volunteers right from Yogendra Yadav to ex Speaker of Delhi Assembly MS Dhir to AAVAM convener Karan Singh — "Only a Yes Man to Kejriwal will remain in AAP and in the government. Anyone raising voice will be thrown out irrespective how honest and competent the other person may be".

Kapil Mishra sealed his ouster from party by raising voice against Kejriwal

Earlier Vishwas had merely tweeted that party workers must be patient and that party's best interests will be upheld in the end. It is also instructive to note here that Mishra is considered close to Vishwas and he has sided with the leader in the recent rift between him and the party's core leadership.

After a cryptic twitter message, Kumar Vishwas finally came out in support of Delhi CM stating that a corrupt Kejriwal would be an unimaginable thing for him. He said that he was saddened by the way Mishra took things up. Seeking to reassure the party workers, he said if ever anyone thinks that anyone is wrong within the party, they must come with the proof and keep it in front of everyone. "Levelling baseless allegations like this in front of media is not right," Vishwas said.

Corrupt Kejriwal is unimaginable; saddened the way things were done today: Kumar Vishwas

We had always raised questions over transparency in the AAP. But when I saw him with Satyendra Jain, I could not sleep that night. I had always felt that Kejriwal would look into the issue, Mishra told Times Now.

Kapil Mishra says he could not sleep after the incident

"I was the first to raise this water tanker scam. Now Kapil Mishra, the water resources minister in AAP government, has raised it and questioned his own party leadership. By ousting him from the department, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has again proved that only 'Yes man' will thrive in the party, whereas the rest will be sidelined or thrown out by branding them as 'tainted'. This is because the AAP wants to hide its incompetence and failures," BJP MLA and Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Vijendra Gupta told Firstpost.

Kapil Mishra ousted by AAP to hide its incompetence and failures

AAP MLAs Alka Lamba and Somnath Bharti, who are reportedly close to Mishra, have also come out in support of Kejriwal. With the PAC meeting likely to seal his fate, the road ahead is not easy for Mishra.

According to media reports, Kapil Mishra is close to Kumar Vishwas. However, with the poet-politician backing Kejriwal, saying that it is unimaginable to think that the Delhi chief minister will accept bribes, it seems Mishra is fighting a lone battle. Even Yogendra Yadav, who left the party after being disillusioned with Kejriwal, seems to be backing the chief minister.

Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare reacts for the first time on the issue. Talking to Times Now, he said, "It is unfortunate if he has accepted the cash. If the allegations are true, then he has shattered the movement. Probe will definitely reveal the truth."

"Six of the seven AAP ministers including Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia are facing corruption charges," Maken said.

He said the AAP, which governs Delhi, was "riddled with corruption".

"Mishra's claim that Kejriwal took Rs 2 crore is not mere allegation rather an affidavit before the public of what he saw. He is saying what he saw as an eyewitness. The Centre, the Anti-Corruption Bureau and the CBI should immediately take action and register an FIR against Kejriwal. He has no moral right to continue as the Chief Minister. He should immediately resign," said Maken.

Sources within AAP say there is no operational MLA office in water minister Kapil Mishra's constituency Karawal Nagar. They also share that he doesn't live in his constituency and his residence is in Yamuna Vihar. "We had to plead with him for six months so he sets up a base here, where both volunteers and people and go to him with their grievances. But he doesn't like to engage with people, except on social media" say volunteers from Karawal Nagar.

"His mother Annapurna Mishra was the first mayor of the East Delhi Municipal Corporation. Kapil Mishra was given a ticket too soon and he hasn't toiled in the field and has been in a hurry to get to the top," a volunteer said.

AAP's volunteers say that Kapil Mishra has shown streaks of arrogance in the past. His lack of connect with the people in his constituency is a known fact within the party. Six months ago, nearly 60 women of Sonia Vihar ward angrily charged at him regarding a water related problem but he refused to address the issue.

AAP came to power promising that this issue will be resolved. But they did nothing. Today, Kapil Mishra had accused the party leadership on this issue. Sangam Vihar is a case in point. Sangam Vihar is the largest unorganised colony in Asia in the heart of posh south Delhi.

The crisis seems to raise a major question over the perfomance of the sacked Delhi minister.

People also claimed that the MLA from this area, which is also Asia's largest unorganised housing complex, Prakash Jarwal, has done nothing for the area.

During the MCD polls, Firstpsot had spoken to citizens of Sangam Vihar on the water crisis they have been facing since several years. Every person who spoke to Firstpost said that they have been let down by every political party in Delhi, including the AAP. Citizens said that the AAP government's promise of delivering 20,000 litres of free water has been a sham and that they still face water scarcity.

Another line that they have heard from him recently: I am not like Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav. When I leave, I will ensure that the party also drowns.

AAP volunteers rubbish Mishra's claim that he has been associated with the AAP movement since the Anna Andolan. They say that he joined the party once it was formed. They also ask where Mishra was when India Against Corruption was being formed on 5 April 2011. "He came into the picture before becoming a minister and has been greedy for power all along," a volunteer said.

With his blunt allegation against Kejriwal, Kapil Mishra, who became a former minister a day ago, has delivered the biggest blow not only to the person but also to the fledgling party. The BJP might just have found the handle it needed to take the Delhi chief minister on. Whether or not minister Satyendra Jain paid Rs 2 crore to Kejriwal may take time to establish, but the latest development makes one thing certain: the latter won’t have an easy time in power from now on. The countdown to his exit may have begun.

BJP should realise that AAP thrives on politics of confrontation and if notices have been issued without any base, it will only help AAP mobilise/get back its support base and gain sympathy. This witch hunt won’t help.

Meanwhile, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh took potshots at the anti-corruption crusader, adding that Kejriwal should have resigned a long time back.

After allegations against Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal came to light following ex-minister Kapil Mishra claim that the leader took bribes from Satyendra Jain, the youth wing of the Congress party is protesting outside the residence of the chief minister.

BJP delegation led by Delhi MP Manoj Tiwari meets L-G Anil Baijal. Tiwari says that the delegation has sought the dismissal of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Health Minister Satyendra Jain for their alleged involvement in graft. The delegation also sought an enquiry into the case and Tiwari said that he has got an assurance from the L-G on this issue.

"Arvind Kejriwal, the self proclaimed messiah of anti-corruption has been charged with accepting a huge some of money by none other than his own party colleague and ex-minister of his cabinet. This is very serious allegation questioning Mr. Kejriwal's personal integrity. Seems AAP is collapsing under the weight of its own misdeeds. We demand that CBI should immediately lodge FIR against him and do thorough investigation. Kejriwal should step down immediately on moral grounds. We also want to know why L-G is not taking any action on the Shunglu Committee reports. Delhi Congress will launch a 5-day campaign to collect 10 lakh signature demanding Kejriwal's resignation, " Delhi Pradesh Congress chief spokesperson Sharmistha Mukherjee told Firstpost.

Kejriwal should step down, CBI must file FIR against Delhi CM, says Sharmistha Mukherjee

In more I-T trouble for Satyendra Jain, a report on CNN News18 says that Jain used two of his employees — one of them is his distant relative — as a front to route hawala money to buy land between 2011 and 2013. The report added that the two employees later joined Jain's office after the deal were completed.

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Sunday sought the resignation of his Delhi counterpart, Arvind Kejriwal, claiming that the AAP supremo had no moral right to continue in office as his "corrupt face" had been "totally exposed". The Congress leader said his party had for long been maintaining that Kejriwal was a "dacoit", who was "only interested in filling his pockets".

"People expect you to do the honourable thing and resign immediately rather than trying to discredit Kapil Mishra," the SAD leader said.

"Kejriwal has always maintained that he will take action against anyone accused of wrongdoing... What will you do now when you yourself are in the dock?" Majithia asked.

"Now, we have a person who was a cabinet minister in the Delhi government till a few hours back claiming that he has witnessed the Delhi CM accepting Rs two crore from a tainted colleague with his own eyes," he said.

Terming the "bribery scandal" as an "epoch event" which has "finally uncovered Kejriwal's real face", SAD general secretary Bikram Singh Majithia said the AAP was being accused of being involved in corruption since long.

The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Sunday demanded the resignation of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and also his immediate arrest after he was accused by AAP MLA and sacked minister Kapil Mishra of taking Rs two crore cash illegally.

"It is a serious allegation leveled by Kejriwal's former minister...he should step down immediately on moral grounds," Gandhi, an MP from Patiala, told PTI.

Suspended AAP MP Dharamvira Gandhi on Sunday demanded Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to step down on moral ground after his former cabinet colleague Kapil Mishra accused him of receiving Rs two crore from another minister.

The controversy around Aam Aadmi Party is refusing to die down. Ousted AAP leader Kapil Mishra on Monday informed media persons that he has already submitted some proof to the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and will be going back again on Tuesday to submit more details.

Kapil Mishra challenges Kejriwal and team to sack him from party

Singh also labelled the fresh accusations made by Mishra as false and accused him of insulting the party workers. "Today, he is saying that everyone in AAP is corrupt. He didn't see it when he was a minister. When he was sacked, he is making false accusations. He doesn't want to join BJP. But he wants to stay with AAP and create more troubles. I think he is going to make false accusations in the future," Singh added.

Replying to the fresh salvo of accusations made by Kapil Mishra on Monday, AAP leader Sanjay Singh said, "I think Kapil Mishra is afraid. The decision of the PAC meeting is not done yet. Whatever is to be done will be told to everyone."

Kapil Mishra is afraid of being sacked from Aam Aadmi Party: Sanjay Singh | CNN-News18

Referring Mishra's latest press conference on Monday as another attempt to defame the Aam Aadmi party, Jain said, "If he wanted to give it to CBI, then why would he come to the media. He would have gone ahead and given it to the CBI. He has not been able to give the time of when I went to Kejriwal's residence."

"There is a no deal, and I am not involved in anything. When there's no deal, why will I speak with him. If there's a deal then please submit proof," Jain said.

Delhi Health Minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Satyendra Jain once again rubbished the fresh allegations of corruption raised by sacked minister Kapil Mishra. Jain, who has been labelled as one of the conspirators in the ongoing graft charges said that Mishra has lost his mental balance.

Delhi ACB chief MK Meena, said that the bureay will regiter Mishra's detailed statement soon.

Sacked AAP minister Kapil Mishra had been having quite a busy Monday. Before the former water minister of Delhi gave details about his meetings with ACB and challenging AAP's PAC committee to oust him, Mishra had submitted a bunch of documents alleging that Delhi chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal knowingly delayed the investigation into Rs 400 crore tanker scam.

After Kapil Mishra's morning press conference, where the sacked Aam Aadmi Party leader sought Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's "blessings" as he was going to file an FIR against him, Kejriwal in turn tweeted saying that AAP minister Saurabh Bhardwaj will reveal a massive conspiracy in the Delhi Assembly.

"I am releasing an open letter to Kejriwal. I am going to file FIRs against the person from whom I have learnt to fight against corruption and to take a stand for the truth. He used to be my 'guru' and today I am fighting against him. This is very painful for me but I can't keep quiet. From whom I have learnt these things, today I want his blessings for the victory in this war against corruption. I will file an FIR against you and I am apologizing for the same," Mishra said.

Sacked from Aam Aadmi Party, MLA Kapil Mishra on Tuesday issued an open letter to Arvind Kejriwal while challenging him to contest open elections. Asserting that Kejriwal once used to be his 'guru', Mishra said that he was going to lodge a string of FIRs against the one who taught him to how to fight against corruption.

News 18 reported that BJP youth wing members started protesting outside Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence in New Delhi. According to the channel, water cannons were used at BJP protesters in order to scatter the crowd.

Mishra later told reporters that he was going to file three FIRs: One against Kejriwal, one against his family members, and one against five AAP leaders. Mishra also tweeted that he will be going to the CBI office at 11.30 am.

According to Hindustan Times , sacked AAP MLA Kapil Mishra reached CBI office to file complaint against Kejriwal. "I will register an FIR against you (Kejriwal). I apologise for that and seek your blessing," Mishra had said at a press conference on Tuesday morning. Mishra was suspended from AAP and sacked by Kejriwal from his Cabinet.

Mishra stepped up his demand to reveal details of foreign tours of AAP leaders. In a series of tweet, he said some that party leaders have made dozens of foreign trips out of state expense and illegal money. "Party should make public where these leaders went, who they met and how much time they spent in which country," (sic) tweeted Mishra.

Sacked party MLA Kapil Mishra tweeted that Aam Aadmi Party must make public the details of foreign trips by Raghav Chadha, Ashish Khetan, Sanjay Singh, Satyendar Jain and Durgesh Pathak. Mishra said he will sit on hunger strike from Wednesday if these details were not made public.

The session is scheduled to begin at 2 pm and high-octane war of words is expected on the floor of the 70-member House as Mishra and Kejriwal may come face-to-face for the first time since the allegation was made on Sunday.

The Delhi Assembly will hold a special session on Tuesday afternoon where Arvind Kejriwal is expected to speak for the first time after being accused by sacked MLA Kapil Mishra of taking Rs 2 crore cash from a cabinet colleague, a charge denied by the AAP.

Mishra has questioned Kejriwal's integrity and accused him of taking Rs 2 crore in cash from Health Minister Satyendra Jain, of shielding people linked to a 2012 water tanker scam and being party to a land deal that benefited his relative. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has denied the charges.

"The truth will emerge victorious. It will begin from the special Delhi Assembly session on Tuesday," the Chief Minister wrote.

The BJP is expected to corner the ruling AAP during the one-day session over Mishra's charges. The AAP is also likely to raise the issue of alleged EVM manipulations in Delhi civic body polls. Kejriwal has not spoken about the charges made by Mishra. But on Monday night he tweeted that truth will prevail.

Intensifying his agitation against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and other Aam Aadmi Party leaders, Kapil Mishra threatened to go on a hunger strike. "Five AAP leaders misused funds for foreign trips. I will sit on a hunger strike if they do not reveal details of their foreign trips," Mishra said.

As Kapil Mishra makes his way to the CBI office, AAP leaders Manish Sisodia, Ashutosh and Atishi Marlena have made their way to chief minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence. India Today has reported that the party has issued a whip to all its MLAs, asking them to attend the special Assembly session on Tuesday.

Activists of the BJP's youth wing protested near Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence, demanding his resignation and the sacking of minister Satyendra Jain over corruption charges levelled against them by suspended leader Kapil Mishra. The protesters, who took out a march to Kejriwal's Civil Lines residence, were stopped by the police at a barricade. Policemen used water canons when the agitators tried to breach the barricade.

Delhi Bhartiya Janta Yuva Morcha (BJYM) president Sunil Yadav warned the protests would intensify if Kejriwal didn't step down. "We had been saying Kejriwal is a liar but he turned out to be something else. He should resign, sack Jain, and face corruption charges. Mishra was removed because he exposed corruption in AAP," he said.

Based on a CNN News18 expose, Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari targeted Delhi Chief Minsiter Arvind Kejriwal on the irregularities in the donations to the Aam Aadmi Party. The party also claimed that the AAP lied to the Election Commission on its source of donations.

According to India Today, a complaint has been filed against Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal over the death of his brother-in-law. The complaint seeks a probe over the death of Kejriwal's relative. According to the report, he wanted to expose a scam in the PWD department.

Delhi Assembly begins as all eyes are on Arvind Kejriwal's defence over corruption allegations against him. The Speaker calls it a historic meeting for the sake of Indian democracy.

BJP leader Vijendra Gupta claims that the Arvind Kejriwal government has been indulging in a Rs 1,000 crore land scam in Delhi.

Even as AAP MLA Alka Lamba is speaking in the Assembly, the four-member BJP is creating ruckus and stopping the House from working. The first 15 minutes have thus been wasted in the ruckus.

Amid the ruckus, Delhi Assembly Speaker Ram Nivas Goel has dismissed BJP MLA Vijendra Gupta from the House for a day.

Lamba also does some self praise that it is the Delhi government which has been instrumental in forcing the Centre to sanction over Rs 3,000 crores for procuring VVPAT machines.

AAP leader Alka Lamba talks on the EVM tampering row. She claims that when the party went to the EC, the EC said that the EVMs used in the MCD polls were not their responsibility. Lamba raises the question as to why VVPAT machines are not being used to conduct elections.

While Alka Lamba is speaking on EVM tampering, it is interesting to note that rebel AAP leader Kapil Mishra is present in the Assembly.

At a time when the Election Commission has dared hackers to tamper EVM machines, the Aam Aadmi Party has promised to show tampering of(Electronic Voting Machines) EVMs to expose the truth.

Speaking in Assembly, AAP MLA Naresh Yadav claims that the country's trust on the Election Commission is declining due to the constant EVM tampering. He also claims that the Centre is least interested in looking into the allegations.

After being marshalled out of the House, Vijendra Gupta trained his guns on the Aam Aadmi Party and its involvement in the 1,000 crore land scam. He added that the BJP is not being allowed to raise the issue by the ruling party.

While EVM tampering row is being discussed in the Delhi Assembly, the Delhi Chief Minster Arvind Kejriwal is yet to speak on the bribery allegations made by Kapil Mishra against him.

The BJP leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly is sitting outside in dharna. He has asked for the arrest of Satyendra Jain in the bribery scandal. Talking to media persons, he claimed that democracy has been murdered in the state and that the AAP is encouraging corruption in Delhi.

Perhaps what can be termed as unprecedented in Indian political history, AAP MLA Saurabh Bhardwaj is currently conducting a live demonstration of show how easy it for anyone to tamper an EVM machine.

Saurabh Bhardwaj brings the cheat sheet of all secret codes that need to be fed into the EVM machine in order to manipulate the machines. He says that the secret codes are fed into the system after a certain period of time. He adds that the secret codes depend on the position of a candidate in the race. He says that if a candidate is third in the race, then a secret code corresponding to the third position is fed into the system. This helps the candidate to win, Bhardwaj claims.

After proving that an EVM machine can be manipulated, Saurabh Bhardwaj taunts BJP legislators and claims that they won their elections in that manner. This leads to a flare up between BJP and AAP MLAs in the Assembly.

So was the EVM demo drama a diversionary tactic of the party? Time will tell.

Kejriwal is yet to speak on the bribery allegations levelled against him by sacked AAP leader Kapil Mishra.

Before the session began, the Delhi chief minister had tweeted that there would be a major revelation made in the Assembly. However, the major revelation turned out to be on EVMs.

Amid a sensational live demonstration of EVM-tampering, the most striking image of the day was that of a silent Arvind Kejriwal.

Immediately after Saurabh Bhardwaj's sensational EVM exposé , the Election Commission has hit back at the Aam Aadmi Party, and claimed that the machine used during the live demonstration in the Delhi Assembly is not an EVM machine at the first place.

Mishra slammed Kejriwal for diverting the issue from bribery charges to EVM manipulation. He said, " Today, he will blame EVM, tomorrow your fingers." He also added that AAP won't get any vote in the name of Arvind Kejriwal and that it is best for him to leave the party.

Former Delhi minister Kapil Mishra's allegations will be examined. Mishra has given three complaints relating to bribery and irregularities against functionaries of Delhi government: CBI.

In a major revelation, sacked AAP leader Kapil Mishra on Sunday alleged that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is running a hawala racke tin the Aam Aadmi Party by converting black money into white through shell compnaies and hiding donations from the Election Commission of India.

Alleging that there is a scam in the running of the Mohalla clinics in Delhi, sacked AAP muinister Kapil Mishra has also promised to expose the scam later.

Nevertheless, the discrepancy in the details led to a Income Tax notice to the party, after which it revised its amount to Rs 30 crores, Mishra, however, questioned Kejriwal over the remaining Rs 15 crores.

The major crux of Mishra's allegation was that the Delhi chief minister hid the full details of the funds that the party recieved between 2013 and 2016. According to the Karawal Nagar MLA, the party had over Rs 45 crores in its bank account in 2013-14. However, the party only declared rs 9 crores worth of funds to the Election Commission. On the other hand, on the party website, details of funds amounting Rs 19 crores were listed.

The sacked AAP minister also added that the details provided by the party in 2014-15 was also forged. He said that the party had disclosed funds worth Rs 32 crores to the Election Commission. However, Mishra alleged that the party in fact had Rs 65 crores in its account, while the website listed the source of funds amounting to rs 32 crores.

According to Mishra, Kejriwal's party did not answer I-T notice seeking to know the source of funds for three continuous years: 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16.

He also alleged that there were 16 such shell companies which donated money to the Aam Admi Party on 20 January 2014 at 12 am at midnight.

Kapil Mishra alleged that four shell companies allegedly linked to the party donated Rs tow crores on 5 April 2014. Interestingly, the Chartered Accountant of all the four companies is same.

Kapil Mishra added that the party's donations were being converted from black to white through the Krishna Nagar branch of the Axis Bank, This particular branch as well as the bank cam under the scanner of the Enforcement Directorate during the crackdown on illegal funds during demonetisation drive.

Mishra alleged Goyal of lying to the Election Commission, in contravention of the RPA Act, 1951.

Kapil Mishra trained his guns at Moti Nagar MLA Shiv Charan Goyal and alleged that the four shell companies that donated money to the AAP belonged to him. He also dragged the name of a Congress leader Sushil Kumar Gupta into the alleged scam and argued that it was Gupta who routed the money through Goyal.

After Goyal, the sacked leader went after Naresh Yadav. According to Mishra, Yadav's wife Preeti is a shareholder in a company called Legacy Mercentile Pvt Ltd, which donated to the AAP. This company was alleged by Mishra to be yet another shell company.

Coincidentally, the company's accounts was found to be in the controversial Krishna Nagar Axis Bank branch.

This company, the sacked MLA alleged, is a shell company which routed money to the AAP. He in fact added that there is no record of anybody called Bablu and Yogesh Chand.

According to Mishra, a certain duo of Bbalu and Chand are directors in a company called Vishal Diigital Studio, which is also listed in the Bombay Stock Exchange.

A certain Ramesh Bellamkunda from Bangalore was alleged by Mishra to have donated over Rs one crores between 2013 and 2016. However, in its disclosure to the Election Commission, the party only revealed Rs 5,000 as Bellamkunda's total donation.

Here are some of the tweets from top leaders of the party.

As Mishra was hogging the spotlight, it was Neil Haslam who was explaining the details of the 'scam'. After the presser, AAP leaders slammed him and alleged that he has had links with the BJP.

Countering allegations against the AAP, Sanjay Singh took potshot at the BJP, asking it to stop defaming AAP. Singh added that the Centre's only policy is to defame AAP while side stepping corruption within its own ranks. Also dragging the Congress party, the party leader said that BJP and the largest Opposition party have not been declaring 80 percent of their funding details since the last 10 years.

On being asked why the party is targetting the BJP, AAP leader Sanjay Singh said the issue of funding raise by Mishra is similar to the demand made by the BJP. He added that Manoj Tiwari too had raised the issue recently. He said that if the state machinery which is controlled by the BJP cannot prove any allegation against the party. then it must give up and consider itself useless.

After Kapil Mishra, Congress party targets Arvind Kejriwal over the alleged "hawala scam". Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee chief Ajay Maken said that the foreign tours of the AAP leaders need to be probed as the allegations made by the sacked leader are serious. He added that there are strong proofs of AAP leaders visiting London to get donations from Khalistani separatists. He continued and said that the Indian intelligence agencies also knew about the meeting. The party asked the government to take action against the names taken during the presser.

Late last night, a team of doctors from RML hospital had examined Mishra and said his blood sugar level, pulse rate and blood pressure were normal. The doctors had also advised that he be hospitalised, but Mishra carried on with his hunger strike.

The former water resources and tourism minister in the Delhi government is suffering from "a little weakness and mild dehydration", an RML doctor said. "But he is conscious and his vitals are all normal," the doctor said.

The condition of Kapil Mishra, who was admitted to the RML hospital after he fainted while addressing the media earlier in the day, is stable, doctors said.

Countering allegations against the AAP, Sanjay Singh took potshot at the BJP, asking it to stop defaming AAP. Singh added that the Centre's only policy is to defame AAP while side stepping corruption within its own ranks. Also dragging the Congress party, the party leader said that BJP and the largest Opposition party have not been declaring 80 percent of their funding details since the last 10 years.

He added that Manoj Tiwari too had raised the issue recently. He said that if the state machinery which is controlled by the BJP cannot prove any allegation against the party. then it must give up and consider itself useless.

After Kapil Mishra, Congress party targets Arvind Kejriwal over the alleged "hawala scam". Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee chief Ajay Maken said that the foreign tours of the AAP leaders need to be probed as the allegations made by the sacked leader are serious. He added that there are strong proofs of AAP leaders visiting London to get donations from Khalistani separatists. He continued and said that the Indian intelligence agencies also knew about the meeting. The party asked the government to take action against the names taken during the presser.

Late last night, a team of doctors from RML hospital had examined Mishra and said his blood sugar level, pulse rate and blood pressure were normal. The doctors had also advised that he be hospitalised, but Mishra carried on with his hunger strike.

The former water resources and tourism minister in the Delhi government is suffering from "a little weakness and mild dehydration", an RML doctor said. "But he is conscious and his vitals are all normal," the doctor said.

The condition of Kapil Mishra, who was admitted to the RML hospital after he fainted while addressing the media earlier in the day, is stable, doctors said.

Former Delhi minister Kapil Mishra on Saturday alleged that the police were trying to "forcibly" take him to hospital based on "fake reports" given by doctors, just a day before he was planning to make another "expose".

He claimed that the report of his health is "faked" by the doctors, who were directly reporting to health minister Satyendra Jain, even as a team of doctors from Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) hospital late tonight examined Mishra and said his vitals, including blood pressure and sugar level, were normal.

"Before tomorrow's expose, they are spreading fake news and trying to divert attention. It is a ploy to end my hunger strike," Mishra said in a tweet.

"Doctors gave fake report. They report directly to health minister Satyendar Jain," he stated in another tweet.

Mishra, who was recently sacked from Delhi cabinet, had started an indefinite hunger strike on Wednesday demanding Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) divulge details of foreign tours undertaken by five of its leaders.

Doctors had yesterday advised hospitalisation to Mishra due to drop in blood sugar level and dehydration.

Mishra also asked the Delhi police commissioner to not take actions based on "fake reports".

"Sir @CPDelhi, Please don't do this just based on a fake report. I am fighting for a big cause. It's a conspiracy," the MLA said in a tweet.

In a late night development, a team of doctors from RML hospital examined Mishra and said his vitals, including blood sugar level, pulse, blood pressure, is normal.

However, he had mild dehydration which is due to no salt intake since last four days, the doctors said, adding it was a case of "starvation ketosis".

Meanwhile, police officials reached Mishra's house to take him to hospital but he remained adamant on not going with them.

"Mishra is adamant to not leave his house before he holds a press conference at 11 am on Sunday. He has gone inside his house saying he wants to meditate," a source said.

Earlier, a team of doctors from Aruna Asaf Ali hospital had examined him in the afternoon and evening and advised his hospitalisation.

Mishra mounted a fresh attack on Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday, accusing him of using AAP MLAs as "shield" after party legislator Sanjeev Jha announced a hunger strike to counter the rebel leader's ongoing fast.

Jha was detained by the police twice while he was proceeding to stage the planned hunger strike outside Mishra's residence. He later began his "indefinite strike" at Jantar Mantar.

Jha has demanded that Mishra come clean on the claim that he saw health minister Jain pay Rs two crore to Kejriwal.

In an "open letter" to Kejriwal, Mishra again pressed for divulging the details of foreign tours undertaken by five leaders of the party.

"How much drama will you create to hide one truth. You are trying all tactics to divert attention. Don't try any new tactic tomorrow.

"You (Kejriwal) made a strategy to use MLAs as a shield. However, only one MLA came forward to be that shield?" Mishra said, adding he would make his next "expose" tomorrow.

He further said "thief" is demanding to hand over all the evidences to him.

"Then he would prove himself innocent by becoming a judge, a lawyer and a witness," he added.

In the morning, Jha, who is an MLA from Burari, went to Rajghat, Mahatma Gandhi's memorial, to "seek blessings".

"On 7 May, Mishra had said that Kejriwal had met Jain where he paid him Rs two crore. My question to him is at what time did he meet the chief minister. Which car did he use? I have the entire day's video footage (of people entering Kejriwal).

"The whole world knows about Kejriwal's credentials and he (Mishra) should give evidence to back his claim. If it turns out to be true, even I will join him in his hunger strike against Kejriwal," Jha said.

Mishra hit back at Jha with another "open letter" and "advised" him to drink lots of water during the hunger strike.
