HC allows listing of MLA's plea against Kejriwal for low attendance

NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court today allowed to list a plea filed by MLA Kapil Mishra against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal claiming that the CM has less than 10 per cent attendance in the Assembly.

When the matter was mentioned before a vacation bench comprising Justices Sangita Dhingra Sehgal and C Hari Shankar, it asked the lawyer for Mishra to file the petition, PTI reported

"CM's attendance is less than 10% in assembly and he totally missed special sessions for full statehood and sealing. He was there for 2 hrs. It's an insult to votes people of Delhi have given . If he isn't attending assembly his salary should be cut," ANI quoted Mishra as saying.



Mishra, who represents Karawal Nagar, was water resources minister in the Kejriwal government before he was removed from the cabinet. He then levelled corruption charges against Kejriwal and former cabinet colleague satyendra Jain, following which he was suspended from primary membership of AAP.
