Mishra joined BJP in the presence of the BJP Delhi unit president Manoj Tiwari and senior BJP leader Vijay Goel. Manoj Tiwari said, “I welcome Kapil Mishra and Richa Pandey into BJP and I hope they will serve Delhi and follow the policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and philosophy of Deen Dayal Upadhyay and Syama Prasad Mookerji.”
The new BJP member Kapil Mishra had alleged that AAP received crores of rupees from shell companies run by people close to Kejriwal.
