Goel welcomes Kapil Mishra to BJP;
New Delhi, August 17, 2019: Former Union Minister and MP, Vijay Goel,
welcomed Kapil Mishra who was the minister in the AAP government, to the
Bhartiya Janta Party.
Goel said that Kapil Mishra is a talented person. When I had raised voice
against corruption in 2010 commonwealth games, Kapil Mishra had invited me
to his NGO to release a book on corruption in commonwealth games” which I
had gladly accepted. Even then, I had asked him to join the BJP but he
expressed disinclination towards joining politics back then and wanted to do
social work only.
He said that Kapil Mishra had joined the Aam Aadmi Party to fight corruption,
however, when he saw the corruption within the AAP, he decided to part his
ways with the party.
BJP will be strengthened with Kapil Mishra’s presence because he has a very
deep understanding of Delhi’s problems. When Mishra was in the Aam Aadmi
Party, even then he used to discuss issues plaguing the city with me. I hope that
along with Mishra, other members of AAP will also join the BJP.
