Truth will win, says Arvind Kejriwal on Kapil Mishra row

The session is expected to be stormy as the ruling AAP and the Opposition BJP will seek to corner each other on a range of issues.

Aam Aadmi Party chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday has finally broken his silence after former AAP cabinet minister Kapil Mishra accused him of accepting Rs 2 cr from Satyendar Jain.

"Truth will triumph. Its beginning will be made during the special session of the Delhi Assembly tomorrow," Kejriwal tweeted amid turmoil in his party. Meanwhile, Jain categorically rejected Mishra's charge, saying "no deal took place" between him and Kejriwal and this just an "attempt to defame the AAP". "He (Mishra) says Kejriwal's brother-in-law was to get the favour from a deal. It is shameful and disgusting. The person who has died today (brother-in-law), he is making allegation about a man who is dead," Jain said.

A defiant Mishra, in his verbal volleys on the Twitter, after his suspension, went on to elaborate his earlier tweets.

"First FIR will be on cash deal between Satyendra Jain and Arvind Kejriwal Ji. "Second FIR will be on How Satyendra Jain has benefitted close relatives of Arvind Kejriwal in illegal land deals. "Information related to third FIR has been received today through 'Lets Clean AAP Campaign'" he claimed.

The AAP, earlier in the day also alleged that a big conspiracy was being hatched against it by the BJP through Mishra and said Chief Minister Kejriwal would not resign over the "baseless allegations". The party asserted that was Mishra was making such allegations against Kejriwal "out of desperation" after being expelled from the Cabinet.

The AAP government will hold a special session of the Delhi assembly on Tuesday over a number of issues concerning the national capital. The decision was taken at a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday.

The session is expected to be stormy as the ruling AAP and the Opposition BJP will seek to corner each other on a range of issues.

According to sources, AAP MLAs are expected to raise the recent CBI raid at the Delhi Secretariat and issuance of notice to the Aam Aadmi Party by the Centre to furnish details of its overseas funding at the session.

The ruling party had already termed the raid and MHA's notice to AAP as "political vendetta" by the BJP-led Central government.

On its part, the BJP, whose strength of MLAs has been increased from three to four in the 70-member Assembly after it won the Rajouri Garden bypoll last month, will try to corner the AAP government on several issues, including the seeking of report by the LG on the dismantling of Bus Rapid Transit system.
