Kapil Mishra, sacked Aam Aadmi Party minister now on a hunger strike, has alleged that a man who attacked him yesterday worked with senior Delhi minister Satyendar Jain. Mr Jain is at the centre of Mr Mishra's many allegations of corruption against AAP and its chief Arvind Kejriwal.
As he began his second day of fasting, Mr Mishra said this morning, "The attack was all too planned. The attacker, Ankit Bharadwaj, is working with Satyendra Jain in the Mohalla Clinic project and is a party worker," challenging AAP's allegation that he was a member of the BJP's youth wing, the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM).
