War of words continues inside AAP.
In a press conference on Monday evening, sacked Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra landed fresh allegations against CM Arvind Kejriwal.
He said that Minister Satyender Jain has helped Kejriwal's relative with a 7-acre farmhouse deal in Chattarpur.
Mishra said that Jain has told him in private conversations that he had arranged for a Rs 50-crore deal for Kejriwal's family to get a 7-acre farmhouse in Chattarpur, in outskirts of Delhi.
Jain has promptly responded refuting the allegation. He said,
Mishra later tweeted:
Kapil Mishra also rejected AAP's allegation that he is working at BJP's behest. Mishra said, " Saying I am colluding with BJP is baseless. Everyone knows I have been the most vocal critic of BJP and Modi ji in AAP."

Throwing light on his future course of action, Mishra said, " Tomorrow I have got an appointment with CBI at 11.30 am, will officially lodge FIR and be present as a witness".
The AAP today alleged that a big conspiracy was being hatched against it by the BJP through sacked Delhi minister Kapil Mishra and said Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal would not resign over the "baseless allegations". The party asserted that was Mishra was making baseless allegations against Kejriwal "out of desperation" after being expelled from the Cabinet.
The remarks came after Mishra, the former water minister, today submitted documents to the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) to back his allegations that Kejriwal had delayed the probe into a Rs 400 crore tanker scam. "A game of exploitation is being played against the AAP. The BJP is hatching a conspiracy against the AAP through Mishra," AAP leader Sanjay Singh told reporters during a press conference here.
Hitting out at Mishra over his allegations of corruption against Kejriwal, Singh claimed Mishra had himself written a letter to the ACB in September last year, saying that the anti-graft body was trying to implicate the chief minister in the water tanker scam under pressure even when his name was not mentioned in the evidence.

He said the BJP and the Congress do not have moral right to raise questions over the AAP's "honesty" as people know how many alleged scams--2G scam, coal scam, DDCA corruption case--occurred during both parties' rules. Mishra had yesterday accused Kejriwal of taking Rs 2 crore from his cabinet colleague Satyendar Jain, a charge refuted by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.
Singh, flanked by AAP leaders Dilip Pandey and Ashutosh, claimed that Mishra was repeating what the BJP had been alleging in connection with the water tanker scam. "Mishra's allegations are laughable. I want to ask him if Kejriwal had called him up before accepting the 'bribe'. Why didn't he tell at what time he had gone to the CM's residence?" Singh asked. The senior AAP leader was referring to the sacked minister's claims that PWD Minister Satyendar Jain had allegedly handed over Rs 2 crore to the AAP supremo in front of him at the chief minister's residence.
