Kapil Mishra, who was sacked as the Water Minister of Delhi on Saturday, held a press conference on Sunday where he claimed that he saw Satyendar Jain (Health Minister in the Delhi government) pay Rs 2 crore to (Delhi Chief Minister) Arvind Kejriwal in front of his eyes.
Mishra was sacked from his portfolio in the Delhi government on Saturday with the Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia saying that the minister had worked hard but “water management was not up to the mark. There were complaints about water not reaching people.” Mishra was replaced because there were complaints about inflated water bills of consumers and water was not reaching colonies where new lines had been laid.
Mishra alleged that Jain “has settled land deals worth Rs 50 crore for Kejriwal’s relatives” and that when he asked the Delhi CM about the money, Kejriwal said that a lot of things “happen” in politics that “cannot be explained.”
Mishra said: “I have witnessed HIM (Kejriwal) taking illegal cash… It is impossible to keep silent. Loss of power is nothing. I am ready to lose my life also.” He added: “I was sacked from the party after speaking out against corruption. I have submitted all details to Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal… I am ready to give evidence to all possible investigation agencies. I will also approach the CBI and the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB)… The day Satyendra Jain lands in jail, I will be proven right. Just wait and watch.”
