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."
