Sacked Delhi minister alleges Kejriwal took money (Lead)

New Delhi May 7 (IANS) Sacked Delhi Water Minister and AAP leader Kapil Mishra on Sunday claimed that he saw Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal accept Rs 2 crore in cash from Health Minister Satyendar Jain.

Day before yesterday (Friday) I saw Jain handing over Rs 2 crore in cash to Kejriwal at his residence. I asked about the money but Kejriwal refused to answer Mishra told the media a day after being sacked on Saturday.

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.
