Delhi CM feels if you're not in jail, you're not culprit: Kapil Mishra

"I would have been in jail had there been an iota of truth in his allegations," the AAP supremo said at a party meeting in the national capital on Sunday.

New Delhi, May 22: In a fresh attack against the Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal, the ousted minister Kapil Mishra on Monday accused AAP supremo for being silent against the corruption allegation levelled against him and other party leaders.

Taking a dig at Kejriwal, Mishra said that "according to Kejriwal's terminology, if any person is not behind the bars then he or she is honest then, in this case, Sheila Dikshit, Suresh Kalmadi are also honest because they are not behind the bars."

He added on his Facebook page that according to 'new' Kejriwal 2G scam, Common Wealth Games scam, coal scams did not take place as nobody are behind the bars.
On Sunday, Kejriwal broke his silence on corruption charges, levelled against him by former AAP leader Kapil Mishra a few weeks ago.

"I would have been in jail had there been an iota of truth in his allegations," the AAP supremo said at a party meeting in the national capital on Sunday.

"They ask me why am I silent? Why I am not responding? How does one respond to these allegations! No one believes them--even the opposition doesn't believe the charges," Kejriwal added.

Kejriwal lamented the fact that Mishra, one of AAP's leaders, betrayed him. "When your own betray you, it hurts a lot," he said.

Earlier this month, a day after Mishra was sacked as a minister in the Delhi government by the AAP, he alleged that he saw Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain pay Rs 2 crore to the AAP chief at his house.

Mishra also accused Jain of helping Kejriwal's relative win a Rs 50 crore deal and alleged that the AAP had fudged their account statements and lied to the Election Commission.

Thereafter, Mishra was sacked from the party also. While Kejriwal maintained silence on all these corruption allegations against him, his party colleagues came in defence of the Delhi CM.

Mishra also undertook a hunger strike to protest against the top AAP leadership, but he ended the fast after his health condition deteriorated.

After corruption charges against Kejriwal surfaced, the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Congress and others demanded the resignation of the Delhi CM.
