The AAP struggle continues; difference of opinions cause a big rift

The big rift between the political figures has caused a disturbance in Delhi.

The senior leaders, Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan are seen going against Arvind Kejriwal. Communication is the most needed event to happen, a source says.

Kejriwal finally broke his silence by tweeting this morning. He tweeted,”I am deeply hurt and pained by what is going on in the party. This is betrayal of trust that Delhi posed in us. I refuse to be drawn in this ugly battle. Will concentrate only on Delhi’s governance. Janata ke bharose ko kisi bhi haalat mein tootne nahi dunga (I wont let the faith of the people be broken).”

Ashish Khetan accused Shanti Bhushan and his family of trying to have a ‘vice-like’ grip on AAP. He tweeted,”Father son daughter trio of Shanti Prashant & Shalini wanted to have a vice-like grip on all party wings, from PAC to policy committee to NE”.

He further added,”Those who are floating the ridiculous one man party theory wanted to make AAP one family party.”

Once, Shanti Bhushan had openly said that Yadav should be made the AAP Convener. The party has blamed the Bhushan father-son duo and Yadav of trying to remove Kejriwal from his position as the convener.

Another senior AAP Leader Sanjay Singh had singled out the senior Bhushan for the comment he had made about making Yadav the convener.  “Someone from within the party, certain senior leaders are trying to remove Arvind Kejriwal from the post of National Convener, by targeting him and maligning the party,” Singh told reporters.
