Former Cabinet Minister Kapil Mishra has been issued a notice by the Public Works Department of the Delhi government, asking him to vacate the Civil Lines bungalow he resides in ‘at the earliest’. A senior government official said that as Mishra was no longer a Cabinet minister, he was not entitled to such an accommodation.
Kapil Mishra was sacked as Delhi’s water minister on May 6 over alleged poor water management.
“After being discharged from his duty as a minister, he could have retained the government’s bungalow for 15 days. As per rules, he is no longer entitled to a government bungalow. In view of this, the department has asked Mishra to vacate the accommodation at the earliest,” a senior official said.
According to sources, PWD Minister Satyendar Jain had a week ago issued a note to the department asking it to get the house vacated at the earliest. Mishra has also been in a state of conflict with the Aam Aadmi Party top leaders, lately.
Last month, the Karawal Nagar MLA had accused Kejriwal of accepting Rs 2 crore from Jain and filed a complaint in this regard with the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB). After he made the stunning allegation, Mishra was suspended from AAP’s primary membership.
