- Kapil Mishra, AGE CORRESPOND­ENT

Suspended AAP MLA Kapil Mishra, on Saturday, announced the launch of “India Against Corruption-2” to take on chief minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Stepping up his ante against the Aam Aadmi Party, Mr Mishra said that he will hold a referendum on the party in different Assembly constituen­cies of the city, starting from New Delhi from where Mr Kejriwal is an MLA.

Mr Mishra, who held an exhibit of documents of corruption against Mr Kejriwal and minister Satyendar Jain, said that it will be the beginning of “Right to Recall” of one of it’s kind. He, however, did not announce the date of the referendum.

“We will meet Mr Kejriwal at his janta darbar We will meet Mr Kejriwal at his janta darbar and demand his resignatio­n as well as a probe and demand his resignatio­n as well as a probe,” Mr Mishra said, adding there should “resignatio­n before investigat­ion”.

Asserting that it was the second phase of the anticorrup­tion movement, Mr Mishra said that it won’t stop even after wedding out corruption from the AAP. Claiming that he has received huge support from the people formerly associated with Anna Hazare’s movement, he said that he will continue holding press conference­s against the AAP government.

Addressing the convention, Mr Mishra exhorted the people to accompany him to the chief minister’s residence on Tuesday to demand Mr Kejriwal’s resignatio­n and face investigat­ions on charges of corruption levelled against the CM.

The convention passed seven proposals, including the proposal to relaunch anti-corruption movement, appointmen­t of Lokpal and Lokayukta at every unit in AAP, putting the details of donations the AAP has received on its official website, convening an open session of the Delhi Assembly in Ramlila ground where a discussion will be held on the allegation­s of corruption levelled against the government.
