The Aam Aadmi Party has been in constant trouble with Ministers and MLAs levelling allegations against each other on the heels of a devastating defeat in Delhi's municipal elections

A day after he was sacked from the Cabinet, Kapil Mishra has lobbed corruption charges at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, saying he saw Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain give Mr. Kejriwal ₹2 crore.

Mr. Mishra was sacked on the eve of a “massive expose” he promised on the alleged water tanker scam in the Delhi Jal Board.

Just a few days prior to this, AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan resigned from the party’s Political Affairs Committee (PAC), after accusing Aam Aadmi Party leader Kumar Vishwas of “plotting a coup” in the party. Mr. Khan was eventually suspended from the party. Mr. Vishwas himself had levelled allegations of corruption at Mr. Kejriwal before the MCD elections.

With the crises stacking up, here is a look at how events have unfolded since the MCD elections.
