Its beginning will be made during the special session of the Delhi Assembly tomorrow,” Kejriwal tweeted yesterday.

Reacting to the decision, Mishra mocked Kejriwal for not “going the whole hog and expelling” him. “They could not show enough courage,” he said, adding that he would approach the CBI over his stunning allegation that Kejriwal had taken Rs 2 crore in cash from Delhi minister Satyendar Jain. |
