When his son joined the AAP ahead of the 2020 Delhi Assembly elections and was declared a candidate from Dwarka, Mishra’s membership in the Congress was cancelled in 2020.
Today, Kejriwal spoke before a crowd in Paharganj as part of his campaign for the upcoming municipal elections. The BJP has controlled Delhi’s civic institutions since 2007. Notably, elections for the MCD’s 250 wards will take place on December 4, and results will be tallied on December 7.
