Kapil Mishra, once a firebrand leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), made headlines with his bold speeches and fearless accusations. On September 9, 2016, as Delhi’s Water and Tourism Minister, he gave a sensational speech in the Delhi Assembly, openly attacking Narendra Modi and Amit Shah. He accused them of misusing state agencies to track and monitor a young woman’s private moments. He even played an alleged audio recording in the Assembly, making this one of the rare direct attacks on Modi and Shah at the time. Kapil Mishra was known for his aggressive stance on corruption and activism. He co-founded Youth for Justice and raised his voice against various social issues, including the Commonwealth Games corruption scandal. His political career soared when he became a minister in the AAP government in 2015. However, just nine months after his explosive speech against Modi, he was removed from his ministerial post and later expelled from AAP in 2017 after accusing Arvind Kejriwal of corruption. For two years, he remained politically unaffiliated but actively campaigned for the BJP in the 2019 elections. In August 2019, he officially joined the BJP. His approach took a drastic turn, and he became known for making communal and provocative statements. His controversial tweets and speeches during the 2020 Delhi riots further cemented his image as a polarizing figure. Now, Kapil Mishra has been appointed as Delhi’s Law Minister. What does this mean for Delhi’s politics? How did a vocal Modi critic become a key BJP leader? Watch this episode of Path to Power to understand Kapil Mishra’s dramatic political transformation.
