Kapil Mishra is a former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader-turned BJP candidate for the Delhi election. When he was with the AAP, Mr Mishra was elected from Delhi's Karawalnagar seat in the 2014 Delhi assembly polls. The politician, who was close to Mr Kejriwal and in the inner circle of AAP, had a bitter parting with both after he publicly accused Mr Kejriwal of corruption. He was removed as a minister in his cabinet in May 2017.
