NEW DELHI: Sacked
AAP
minister
Kapil Mishra, along with his supporters, on Friday tried to meet Delhi chief minister
Arvind Kejriwal, but was stopped by the police.
Mishra was going to meet Kejriwal to ask him "why he is not sacking health minister
Satyendar Jain".
Mishra came to Kejriwal residence at 10:15am with a group of supporters led by a group of band. The main road was barrricacaded from both sides and cops were deployed. They sang songs and bhajan near the barricade before seeking entry into the janta darbar.
"I am going home today, but I will come next time with a large number of supporters," he said.
He had come to handover a list of demands to CM which included the demand of Kejriwal's resignation.
Mishra was also accompanied by the mother of late AAP leader Santosh Koli, who also demanded a CBI probe into the death of her daughter.
Koli, an AAP candidate from Seemapuri, had met with an accident in June 2013 and died. The party calls her a "martyr" who took on the ration mafia in the national capital.
