Mishra claimed the powers of Delhi government-run hospitals to buy medicines were put to an end by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at the behest of Health Minister Satyendar Jain.
"A Central Procurement Agency (CPA) was formed and an order was passed saying all medicines should be procured through this agency," Mishra said.
The suspended AAP leader's allegations come two days after Kejriwal made a surprise visit to a government-run hospital and found there was a shortage of medicines.
"Satyendar Jain has himself admitted that Rs 300 crore have been allocated to procure medicines. The Delhi government boasts of having the highest budget earmarked for the health sector. In such a scenario how come there is a shortage of medicines? This is a scam," Mishra said.

In response to Mishra's claims, Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari has written a letter to Lt Governor Anil Baijal demanding an enquiry, saying the files of purchases in which alleged irregularities existed need to be sealed.
