"Nothing will come out of it either. My work cannot be stopped for good education in the country. These people are troubled by the excellent work of Delhi's education and health.

The truth will come out in court. Sisodia further said in his tweet in Hindi," Sisiodia said further in his tweet in Hindi. Meanwhile, BJP leader Kapil Mishra accused him of being corrupt.

Our fight against the corruption of Kejriwal government is on, those who looted Delhi will have to go to jail," Mishra tweeted.
