Kapil Mishra faints after accusing AAP of hiding donation figures from EC

Sacked Delhi water minister Kapil Mishra on Sunday alleged that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) lied about its donation figures to the Election Commission (EC) moments before he fainted and was taken to a hospital.

Addressing a press conference here, Mishra alleged that the AAP had over Rs 45 crore in its bank account during the financial year of 2013-2014 whereas the party in its declaration to the EC had showed an income of around Rs 9 crore.

He also said that the party has accumulated the money through shell companies and by converting black money into white



through hawala transactions.

Mishra, who has been on an indefinite hunger strike since Wednesday, fainted as he was speaking at the press conference and was taken to Ram Manohar Lohia hospital.

The former minister has been demanding that chief minister Arvind Kejriwal reveal the source of funding of the foreign trips of five Aam Aadmi Party leaders-Sanjay Singh, Ashish Khetan, Raghav Chadhha, Satyendra Jain and Durgesh Pathak-in the last two years.

Mishra was sacked on May 6 in a sudden move and later, was also suspended from the party.
