NEW DELHI:  Apologising  Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan for once campaigning to oust them from the party, suspended AAP leader Kapil Mishra said he the “wrongdoings” at the instance of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
In 2015, Mishra had led a signature campaign by a number of AAP MLAs to sack the duo for "anti-party activities" who had questioned Kejriwal's style of functioning and were later sacked from the party.

"I have realised the wrongdoings in the party now. Many people realised these things before and left. But we have to ensure that the party is not left to some corrupt people," Mr Mishra told reporters.
"I especially want to apologise to Prashant Bhushan ji, Yogendra Yadav ji and to all those who raised their voice against brewing corruption in the party but I did not pay heed," he said and claimed that he did it on the directions of Kejriwal.
Yongendra Yadav, who along with Prashant Bhushan later formed another political outfit Swaraj India, demanded that Kapil Mishra  apologise to the party volunteers.
"Nothing personal, @KapilMishraAAP Apology due to all volunteers. Best to put all facts about that episode in public," Yadav tweeted.
Meanwhile, CM Kejriwal has responded to allegations of money laundering and corruption levelled by suspended Aam Aadmi Party member Kapil Mishra and said that he would've been in jail had there been an "iota of truth" in his charges. This is the first time Kejriwal has directly confronted Mishra's allegations. 
"I would have been in jail had there been an iota of truth in his allegations," the AAP chief said at a party meeting. 
"They ask me why am I silent? Why I am not responding? How does one respond to these allegations! No one believes them - even the opposition doesn't believe the charges," Kejriwal added. 
"When your own betray you, it hurts a lot," he further said.
