New Delhi: The internal rift within Aam Aadmi Party has widened with party chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal insisting on Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan’s removal from the National Executive, ahead of the crucial National Council meeting on March 28.
According to news agency, AAP sources have confirmed that Kejriwal is adamant on removal of Bhushan and Yadav from National Executive. Kejriwal has also refused to take any call related to party work as long as the duo is in the party, the sources add.
The AAP’s Parliamentary Action Committee, meanwhile, is scheduled to meet this evening at Kejriwal’s residence, where a resolution will be moved in the National Council to remove Yadav and Bhushan.
AAP leader Ashok Talwar had earlier written a letter to Kejriwal, hinting at a ‘conspiracy’ against the political organization and urged him to take action against for what he termed as ‘anti-party’ activity.
Senior AAP leader Shanti Bhushan had, however, refuted reports of calling a meeting of certain members of the party’s national council a day before its official meet on March 28. (ANI)
