Kapil Mishra (born 13 November 1980) is an Indian politician and Cabinet Minister, Government of Delhi. Before joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2019, Mishra was an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA representing Karawal Nagar in the Sixth Legislative Assembly of Delhi. He is also vice president of the Delhi BJP. He served as the Water Resources Minister in the AAP-led government in Delhi under Arvind Kejriwal. He was later removed from the cabinet amid allegations of irregularities in his ministry's work. Subsequently, he accused Kejriwal and former Health Minister Satyendar Jain of corruption, claiming a bribe of ₹2 crore (equivalent to ₹2.8 crore or US$290,000 in 2023) had been exchanged. He approached the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Delhi with these allegations but could not substantiate them. Later, the Lokayukta dismissed Kejriwal’s name from the case due to a lack of evidence. Mishra later alleged more instances of corruption in the AAP government under Arvind Kejriwal. Being a member and MLA of AAP, he was supporting, sharing stage events for the BJP and was also campaigning against his own party in the 2019 Indian general election. These events and instances of anti-party activities were brought to the notice of the Speaker Ram Niwas Goel of Delhi Legislative Assembly and Mishra was disqualified as an MLA on grounds of defection and anti-party activities. Mishra won as MLA in 2025 Assembly elections from Karawal Nagar constituency.
