New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party’s national executive will meet on Wednesday to decide the course of action against party leaders Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan for alleged anti-party activities.
According to reports, the party will meet at 2 pm in a hotel in Kapashera area of the national capital. AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal will give the meeting a skip.
Sources say, apart from resolving the rift within the party, national executive can also be reconstituted.
Yogendra Yadav was accused by party leaders for giving inputs to a journalist against the party. He along with Prashant Bhushan were also accused of aiding AVAM against the AAP.
AAP chief Kejriwal on Tuesday said he was “hurt and pained” by what was going on within the outfit, terming it as an “ugly battle” which has “betrayed” the trust imposed by the people.
Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal, who is the party’s national convener, refused to be drawn into the “ugly battle”, saying he will concentrate on Delhi’s governance.
“Deeply hurt and pained by what is going on in the party; this is betrayal of trust that Delhi posed in us,” Kejriwal said in a tweet.
“I refuse to be drawn into this ugly battle. Will concentrate on Delhi’s governance. Will not let peoples trust break under any circumstances,” he further said.
Sharp differences have come to the fore within AAP with allegations that senior AAP leaders Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav were trying to “remove” Kejriwal from the post of party convener.
