AAP still on boil as another leader speaks out
Senior AAP leader Mayank Gandhi has said in his blog that Wednesday's national executive meeting was called because party chief Arvind Kejriwal had threatened to quit if Yadav and Bhushan remained in the PAC.
Gandhi attended the executive meeting, but abstained from voting that decided the dissident leaders' fate.
His blog is addressed to party volunteers where he says it wouldbe "dishonest to accept the gag order."
"On 26th Feb night when members of the NE went to meet him, Arvind conveyed that he will not be able to work as Convenor if these two members were part of the PAC," Gandhi says.
He says Yogendra Yadav had suggested that either the panel be reconstituted or he and Bhushan stay out of the meetings of the PAC.
The proposal was discussed in the party, but Kejriwal's deputy Manish Sisodia finally moved a resolution to axe Yadav and Bhushan.
"I was taken aback by the resolution... especially as they themselves were willing to leave....While I agreed that they can step down from the PAC, the manner and intention behind the resolution was not acceptable," Gandh writes.
Yogendra Yadav told reporters, "I don't want to comment on the blog, but I only want to say one thing. Finally, truth prevails."
