AAP expels Yogendra Yadav, Prashant Bhushan

Apart from Yadav and Bhushan, Anand Kumar and Ajit Jha have been expelled from the party.

The party has said they have expelled as they had indulged in gross indiscipline and anti-party activities.

"The National Disciplinary Committee met on April 20, 2015 at 6 pm at 514, VP House to decide on the complaints against Mr. Yogendra Yadav, Mr. Prashant Bhushan, Mr. Anand Kumar and Mr. Ajit Jha," the AAP said in a statement.

"On the request of the respondents, the Committee had earlier extended the deadline for submitting their explanations by one day, that is, to 3 pm on April 20, 2015.  However the committee received the responses of Mr. Yadav, Mr. Bhushan and Kumar while Mr. Jha failed to furnish his response within the prescribed time," it said.

"The Committee carefully considered responses furnished by Mr. Yogendra Yadav, Mr. Prashant Bhushan and Mr. Anand Kumar and found them unsatisfactory," read the statement.

"The Committee reached the unanimous conclusion that Mr. Yogendra Yadav, Mr. Prashant Bhushan and Mr. Anand Kumar had indulged in gross indiscipline and anti-party activities. They have violated the Code of Conduct detailed in Article VI A (a) of Party’s Constitution," it said.

The party said the committee has decided to expel all the four members from the party.

In March, the Aam Aadmi Party had ousted rebel leaders Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan from the National Executive adopting a resolution in a National Council meeting that witnessed extreme acrimony and allegations flying thick between two warring sides.
