The BJP on May 7 demanded Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation after he sacked minister Kapil Mishra who alleged he took Rs 2 crore in cash from Health Minister Satyendar Jain.
“Kejriwal has no moral right to hold the post of Chief Minister. He must resign immediately,” Bharatiya Janata Party Delhi unit chief Manoj Tiwari said.
“I have said a number of times that Kejriwal is directly involved in corruption. Mishra’s allegations have proved our point,” Tiwari said.
The BJP leader said a case must be filed on the basis of the allegations made by Mishra, who was sacked from the Delhi government on Saturday night.
Mishra on Sunday alleged that he saw Kejriwal take Rs 2 crore from Jain at his residence.
Mishra said he has informed Lt Governor Anil Baijal about this and said he will provide details to investigating agencies.
“I asked Kejriwal to call all party leaders, ministers and members to explain about the money. I urged him to seek an apology. And now, I have been sacked,” said Mishra, and vowed to end corruption in the party.
He insisted he won’t quit the Aam Aadmi Party. “I will neither quit the party nor anyone can ask me to go.”
