Before he started his protest, he had told reporters, “It is not a dharna but a satyagraha. I would like to send a message to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to put out the details of the foreign tours of his five leaders– Satyendra Jain, Ashish Khetan, Raghav Chaddha, Sanjay Singh and Durgesh Pathak–in public domain.”
Mishra was recently sacked from Kejriwal’s cabinet for ‘non-performance.’ But he claimed that the real reason behind his removal was the alleged corruption involving Kejriwal.
Mishra had accused the Delhi chief minister of receiving Rs 2 crore cash from his cabinet colleague, Satyender Jain.
Yesterday, in another letter, Mishra had challenged the AAP chief to contest elections against him.
“You are trying to remove me from the assembly, I challenge you to contest elections against me from any seat.Let’s fight the election from my Karawal Nagar seat or even your New Delhi seat. If you believe that people are with you, then I’m ready to resign,” Mishra said in the letter.
Mishra has also met the ACB chief, MK Meena, before visiting the office of the CBI to present what he claimed were evidences in support of his corruption allegations against his former boss and Jain.
