Gupta has alleged that Mishra accused him of ‘buying’ his Rajya Sabha nomination.

Meanwhile, Mishra has been defiant in his stand on Gupta.
सेठ जी
केजरीवाल की आंखों के महान “दानदाता”
डंके की चोट पर कहता हूँ
तुम्हारी एकमात्र योग्यता है -पैसाआंदोलन और पार्टी से तुम्हारा कोई लेना देना नहीं
अपनी जेब मे डाल लो अपने नोट भी और नोटिस भी
तुम जैसो से लड़ने ही तो आये है हम राजनीति में https://t.co/41udcf7G4C

He even referred to one ‘Ghunghru Seth” of receiving notes as he got a ‘notice’.
घुंघरू सेठ को नोट
कपिल मिश्रा को नोटिस https://t.co/BVyE1tADpL— Kapil Mishra (@KapilMishra_IND) January 4, 2018
BJP MLA Parvesh Verma, too, had accused Kejriwal of ‘selling’ Rajya Sabha seats for Rs. 100 crore.
Interestingly, founding members of Aam Aadmi Party, who are no longer associated with Aam Aadmi Party, had also been critical of this decision and implied that money had changed hands in the Rajya Sabha nomination. However, there are no such reports of defamation notices have been sent to them.
One wonders, what’s the deal?
