Kejriwal offers to resign as AAP convenor

Reports said  Kejriwal sent a resignation letter to the AAP national executive, saying he was "overburdened with work"  and would not be able to efficiently handle the job of the government and that of the party at the same time.

Kejriwal will not be present at the national executive meeting as he will be away to Bengaluru on a ten-day visit for his treatment.

This is his second resignation offer in a week.

As the party is embroiled in an intense conflict with founding member Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan complaining about lack of internal democracy, Kejriwal said on Tuesday that he will not be drawn into the controversy.

"I am deeply hurt and pained by what is going on in the party... I refuse to be drawn in this ugly battle," Kejriwal had tweeted, breaking his silence for the first time on the goings-in.

On Tuesday Prashant Bhushan told told NDTV that  there has been a "breakdown of communication" between him and Kejriwal.

"There is a great danger of AAP becoming a one-man show," he said and also alleged that Mr Kejriwal was ready to "compromise on the party's core ideology" for the sake of electoral politics.

Meanwhile, hours before the national executive meet, Yogendra Yadav said he had "full faith" that there would be only good news at the end of the day.

"It does not matter whether I am in the PAC or not...the party is much bigger than one post. The question is whether the party's internal democracy is intact,"  Yadav told NDTV.

"If I have done something wrong, then disciplinary action should be taken," he added.
