New Delhi, Aug 17 (IANS) Suspended Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Kapil Mishra on Saturday joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) along with AAP's women wing chief Richa Pandey at the BJP headquarters here.
"Kapil Mishra and Richa Pandey from AAP along with their supporters joined BJP in the presence of State President Manoj Tiwari, National Vice President and BJP Delhi's Prabhari Shayam Jaju and other senior leaders," a Twitter post of the BJP Delhi said.
Mishra was on August 2 disqualified from the Legislative Assembly under the Anti-Defection Law. He was accused of betraying the AAP and campaigning for the BJP.
