On Saturday night, he claimed that he had submitted the details to the Delhi chief minister, saying that he cannot tolerate delay in the tanker scam report.
Mishra had said that he has named the people who are involved in the delay, and submitted a report to the Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal in this regard.
“I had informed CM that I would submit names of those to Anti-Corruption Bureau, who are involved in the delay, will reveal big names, and maybe because of those names such a decision has been made,” said sacked Delhi water minister.
Reacting on the entire episode, Kapil Mishra had said, "This is my party, since 2004, I am part of this revolution and will not quit. Will remove the garbage."
"I was not informed of the decision and as per my knowledge, it was taken unilaterally by Kejriwal. The Cabinet or the Political Affairs Committee (the AAP's top decision- making body) was not involved," Mishra had said.
What is water tanker scam
The water tanker scam came to light when the AAP government took over the reign in 2015 and constituted a fact-finding committee to investigate in hiring of 385 stainless steel water tankers by the Delhi Jal Board in 2012, during Congress regime led by Sheila Dikshit.
Mishra had formed a five-member committee and the report was submitted to the Delhi chief minister in august 2015. The report highlighted alleged corruption of Rs 400 crore in awarding tenders for hiring water tankers.

The report had suggested to conduct a CBI or ACB probe in the matter , and last year th report was sent to the Prime Minister and Lieutenant Governor of Delhi.
Mishra had written a letter to the Prime Minister and the then Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung recommending a probe against Sheila Dikshit in connection with the alleged scam.
Later, in June 2016, the Anti-Corruption Bureau received the report forwarded by the Lieutenant Governor for further investigation. The ACB had filed an FIR in the case.
Former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit dubbed the allegations as ‘’politically motivated and baseless.”
