As the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) registered a massive victory on Thursday by bagging 62 seats, BJP's Kapil Mishra has urged CM-elect Arvind Kejriwal to clear the file of "Tukde Tukde gang". He was referring to the charge sheet by Delhi police in 2016 on then JNU students Kanhaiya Kumar, Umar Khalid and eight others alleging that they raised anti-India slogans. However, the Delhi government did not sanction the charge sheet to be filed.

Taking to Twitter, Mishra said: "Dear Arvind Kejriwal. You have five years to do politics. Just do one thing in the joy of this grand victory - Clear the file of the Tukde Tukde gang. The court has also said repeatedly that there is a big burden in the minds of Delhiites that the Tukde Tukde gang is still free."

Mishra's Communal campaign

Stoking communal controversy Mishra had said that AAP should rename itself as 'Muslim League'. He had claimed that the AAP is playing divisive, vote-bank politics to seek votes of the Muslim community. Mishra on January 23, posted an extremely controversial tweet, equating the February 8 Delhi Assembly election as a fight between India and Pakistan on the streets of Delhi. Moreover, he refused to apologise for his statement and remarked that he was unafraid of speaking the truth. Following his statement, he faced a 48-hour ban and the Delhi Police also filed an FIR in this regard. Mishra lost the polls from Model Town constituency against AAP's Akhilesh Pati Tripathi by over 10,000 votes.
