Crisis in AAP: The decision to suspend Mishra was taken late on Monday during a meeting of the AAP’s Political Affairs Committee at Arvind Kejriwal’s residence.

One of main poll planks for the AAP, when it contested the 2015 Assembly polls, was to provide free water, a promise that Arvind Kejriwal kept and has flaunted since.

Mishra’s grievance redressal of complaints received on social media, especially Twitter, won him much praise from the party leadership.

With over 12 lakh voters dominating at least 50 municipal wards, the party is trying its best to reach out to the community since late last year.

Sticking to the script, Kejriwal ran over the achievements of his two-year government, listing out the difference in power tariff between Delhi and other state capitals.
