New Delhi : In a bombshell allegation, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kapil Mishra says Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal took Rs 2 crore “illegal cash” from city Health Minister Satyendra Jain. He made the charges at Rajghat a day after being sacked as the city’s water minister. Deputy CM Manish Sisodia says these are “baseless allegations”.
Mishra added that he informed Delhi’s Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) about this transaction immediately. Yesterday, when he went to meet the AAP chief, Mishra told him he’s informed the ACB. Mishra implied that’s why he was sacked from his ministerial posts yesterday by Kejriwal.
Kapil Misra said “Day before yesterday, at Kejriwal’s house I saw Satyendar Jain give Kejriwal Rs 2 crore in cash,” .
Jain is Health and PWD minister in the Kejriwal government.
“I asked him ‘What is this? What is this for?’ He (Kejriwal) refused to answer. And then he said ‘In politics things like this happen that can only be talked about later,'” Mishra said today at a press conference at Rajghat.
“I couldn’t sleep all night after this,” Mishra added.
Mishra said he “had to” tell Delhi’s Anti Corruption Bureau about this immediately.
Kapil Misra said “After seeing the cash with my own eyes, there is no way I could be quiet. I don’t care about my political position or even my life. I couldn’t take this lying down,”.
Mishra said that he’s the only minister who’s not being investigated for anything. He added that unlike him, Jain’s name has come up in corruption cases.
Satyendra Jain, Health and PWD Minister, name came in money laundering and black money. CBI is investigating in the matter.
Immediately after the press conference , Mishra tweeted saying “I saw it day before yesterday and yesterday morning raised my voice against it openly. It wa impossible to wait even a day.” He was referring to the alleged transaction he witnessed at Kejriwal’s house.
Mishra further said “The day Satyendar Jain goes to jail, everything I’ve said will come true. It’s just a matter of a few days.”
Here’s a look at 10 big statements made by Kapil Mishra at Rajghat:
– I saw Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal accept Rs 2 crore bribe from Health Minister Satyendra Jain
– Jain told me he had settled land deals worth Rs 50 crore for Arvind Kejriwal’s relatives
– When I questioned him, Kejriwal told me that ‘such things happen in politics’
– I was sacked from the party after speaking out against corruption
– I have submitted all details to Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal
– I want Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia to introspect how many times they have lied to the people of Delhi
– When we came across corruption in Punjab election funding, we thought Arvind Kejriwal didn’t know about it. We told him and kept waiting for him to react
– I was the only minister of the Delhi cabinet to not have any CBI inquiry against me. I even acted against former CM Sheila Dikshit the moment I took office
– I saw the cash last night and decided to speak out today. I am ready to give evidence to any investigating agency. I will also approach the anti-corruption bureau
– The day Satyendra Jain lands in jail, I will be proven right. Just wait and watch
