'Big mistake': BJP MLA after party replaces him with Kapil Mishra from Delhi seat
India TodayDelhi BJP MLA Mohan Singh Bisht on Sunday slammed the party's decision to replace him with controversial leader Kapil Mishra as the candidate for Karawal Nagar seat in the upcoming Assembly elections, calling it a "big mistake". In its second list of 29 candidates for the Delhi Assembly elections, the BJP announced Kapil Mishra's candidature, replacing Bisht who secured victory in the 2020 polls against Aam Aadmi Party leader Durgesh Pathak. Expressing his strong disagreement with the BJP's decision to field Mishra, Bisht asserted that he would not contest elections from any other constituency and would file his nomination from Karawal Nagar before January 17. Kapil Mishra contested the 2015 Delhi elections from Karawal Nagar seat on an AAP ticket and defeated Bisht.
