New Delhi | The Delhi High Court on Monday allowed suspended Aam Aadmi Party leader and former minister Kapil Mishra to file a petition against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal regarding low attendance in the Delhi assembly.
The Delhi High Court will be hearing the petition on Tuesday over Mishra’s allegation of Kejriwal having less than 10 percent attendance in the assembly.
“Delhi High Court should give direction to the Chief Minister that he should be attending Delhi Assembly sessions. It should also give direction to Lieutenant Governor and Speaker of the Assembly to ensure that CM is attending the session,” Mishra told media.
“Chief Minister’s attendance is less than 10 percent in Assembly and he totally missed special sessions for full statehood and sealing. He was there for two hours. It’s an insult to votes people of Delhi have given. If he isn’t attending assembly his salary should be cut,” he added.
Earlier Mishra was sacked as the Water Resources Minister in May 2017 after he alleged that Delhi chief minister and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) received money through hawala network along with the accusation that Arvind Kejriwal had accepted Rs 2 crore from Minister Satyendra Jain in his presence.
