After being sacked from the post of Delhi’s water resources minister, Kapil Mishra today levelled corruption charges against Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, and said that he saw Health Minister Satyendra Jain give Rs 2 crore to Kejriwal. “Parson maine Satyendra Jain ji ko Rs 2 crore Arvind Kejriwal ji ko dete huye dekha tha. Main poori raat so nahi paaya (Day before yesterday, I saw Satyendra Jain give Rs 2 crore to Arvind Kejriwal. I could not sleep for the entire night),” he said.
The CBI had earlier registered preliminary inquiry against Jain to investigate the charges of money laundering against him.
Levelling the allegations against AAP chief, Kapil Mishra said that Jain had told him that he settled land deals worth Rs 50 crore for Kejriwal’s relative. “Arvind Kejriwal told me such things happen in politics,” Mishra said at his press conference.
Reacting to his allegations, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said they were so absurd that they did not merit any response. “The allegations made against the party do not merit a response. Nobody will believe it.”
Amid the ongoing blame game, the Twitter users weren’t behind, several users took to the micro-blogging website and reacted with funny, as well as angry tweets. Here’re some of the best reactions:
