Elaborating the party's decision to remove founding members Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan from the Political Affairs Committee (PAC), the AAP leader in a joint statement said: "The Aam Aadmi Party had registered a historic victory in the Delhi Assembly polls. It was a result of the immense hard work by all the party workers."

"When these workers were working hard to ensure the party's victory, our three big leaders- Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav and Shanti Bhushan- were trying hard for the party's defeat," it said.

Amid turmoil within the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the national executive of the same on Mar 4 decided to remove its founding members Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan from the party's PAC.
