Significantly, AAP MLA, it is worth mentioning that Kapil Mishra, who was a cabinet minister in the Delhi government, was always opening a front against Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal and accused him of many irregularities. Kapil Mishra, who was removed as the minister of water resources, accused CM Arvind Kejriwal and minister Satyendar Jain of corruption. The very next day, AAP suspended him. He has since appeared in public forums as an outspoken supporter of PM Modi.

Mishra’s expulsion will be effective from 27 January 2019. Now the seat of Karaval Nagar will be considered vacant. ‘
