After suspended MLA Kapil Mishra's allegation plunged the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) into further turmoil, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal attacked the former saying that he would disclose a big conspiracy during the Delhi Assembly special session today.

"A very big conspiracy will be disclosed before Saurabh Bhardwaj in the Delhi Assembly today. Please do listen to it. Truth will win," he tweeted.

Earlier, asserting that 'truth would win', Kejriwal said that everything would be clarified in the Delhi Assembly special session which would commence today.

However, Kejriwal has not made any statement in the media on the allegations made by Mishra so far.

Earlier in the day, Mishra submitted the documents in connection with the corruption charges he levelled against Kejriwal and other party leaders to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

He further asked the AAP leaders, Satyendra Jain, Ashish Khetan, Raghav Chaddha, Sanjay Singh and Durgesh Pathak to put out the details of their foreign tours in public domain, while saying that he would sit on a hunger strike if they refuse to do so.

After being suspended from the party's primary membership, Mishra issued an open letter to Delhi Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal while challenging him to contest open elections.

Asserting that Kejriwal once used to be his 'guru', Mishra said that he was going to lodge a string of FIRs against the one who taught him to how to fight against corruption.

"I am releasing an open letter to Kejriwal. I am going to file FIRs against the person from whom I have learnt to fight against corruption and to take a stand for the truth. He used to be my 'guru' and today I am fighting against him. This is very painful for me but I can't keep quiet. From whom I have learnt these things, today I want his blessings for the victory in this war against corruption. I will file an FIR against you and I am apologizing for the same," Mishra said.

Mishra further said that Kejriwal would try to give clarification on all the allegations made by him in the Delhi Assembly today and also brand him as a liar and a corrupt.

Mishra also announced that he would also slap Kejriwal with multiple FIRs today.

Taking to Twitter, the AAP MLA said that he would file the first FIR in connection with cash deal between Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain and Kejriwal, while the second one would be on illegal land deals between the duo.

Mishra is also mulling to file a third FIR against AAP leaders Satyendar Jain, Ashish Khetan, Raghav Chaddha, Sanjay Singh and Durgesh Pathak for using illegal money for foreign tours.

Earlier, the Political Affairs Committee (PAC) of the AAP suspended Mishra from the party's primary membership.
