Addressing a press conference, first mayor of the East Delhi Municipal Corporation, Dr. Annapurna Mishra said, "Today my son is being accused of being an agent of BJP.I never thought Arvind Kejriwal would behave in such a manner. I asked Kejriwal to speak out on the issue related to the alleged tanker scam. Anyway, my son was never interested in joining AAP and it was Kejriwal who wanted Kapil to join AAP."
Stating how proud she was that her son was carrying out a 'Satyagraha', she adding that he is an agent of truth and not of BJP.
She also highlighted that by sacking Kapil Mishra, Kejriwal had proved what kind of a person he is.
