Mishra who had turned a rebel AAP leader before ultimately joining the BJP, is known as one of AAP’s and Kejriwal’s biggest critics. He was said to have been one of the key opposition voices in the AAP dominated Delhi assembly.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
