Portfolios held by Mishra — Water Resources, Tourism, Art, Culture and Languages and Gurdwara Elections — though did not make for a plum assignment, the 37-year-old first-time MLA managed to grab the headlines often as he rolled out initiatives, one after the other. As the Water Resources minister, Mishra formed a fact-finding committee on the alleged water tanker scam of the previous Sheila Dikshit government. A vocal Kejriwal loyalist, Mishra often took on the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on social media. Mishra’s grievance redressal of complaints received on social media, especially Twitter, won him much praise from the party leadership. After days of unrest playing out in the media, even as Vishwas and Kejriwal shook hands, Mishra felt left out.
