Problems compound for AAP

Problems compound for AAP - Sakshi Post

Throwing out Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan appears to have created more problems for the AAP. After both the leaders were thrown out from the party’s political affairs committee, it was felt that the dust would settle.

But, fissures in the AAP have only deepened further. Senior leader Mayank Gandhi expressed shock over the manner of and intention in removing Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav.

Gandhi, who abstained from voting on Wednesday in the National Executive meeting, said he was shocked when Manish Sisodia introduced a proposal for removing Yadav and Bhushan despite the duo voluntarily offering to step down.

Gandhi, who is a senior party member from Maharashtra, also revealed that Kejriwal had earlier conveyed that he will not be able to work as the AAP National Convener if Bhushan and Yadav were part of the PAC. He said it was alleged that Yadav was conspiring against Kejriwal and some evidence was also produced in the meeting. There were also operational irreconcilable differences and trust deficit between AK (Kejriwal), PB (Bhushan) and YY (Yadav). Yogendra said that he understood that Arvind did not want them in PAC, as it was difficult for him to work together. He and Prashant would be happy to stay out of PAC, but they should not be singled out. Two formulas were put forward by him. That the PAC be reconstituted and new PAC members be elected through voting. PB and YY will not put their candidature. That PAC continue to function in the present form and YY and PB would not attend any of the meetings, he said.

He further added that after the meeting reconvened after a break, Manish and others conferred with the Delhi team of Ashish Khetan, Asutosh, Dilip Pandey and others. After reassembling, Manish proposed a resolution that YY and PB be removed from the PAC and it was seconded by Sanjay Singh, Gandhi said on his blog. Gandhi said that he was shocked with the proposal introduced by Sisodia.

Meanwhile, talking to reporters in the morning, Yadav refused to comment on Gandhi's blog saying he had gone through it. He also rejected the possibilities of quitting the party asking supporters to have faith, have belief.
