AAP's crucial meeting without Kejriwal

New Delhi, Mar 4(IBNS) Delhi chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal will stay away from Wednesday's important organisational meeting which is expected to take tough action against dissenting leaders Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan.

Speculations are rife that both the founding members, who have been critical of Kejriwal's way of functioning, may be removed from the party's political affairs committee, the most powerful body of the organisation.


AAP leader Navin Jaihind said he would propose the removal of the two leaders. "They have been involved in anti-party activities and are trying to divide the party everywhere. Mr Kejriwal has been lenient. Anyone else would have been sacked long back," he told NDTV.

Kejriwal, who has high blood sugar and coughing, will visit Bengaluru on Thursday for 10-day naturopathy treatment.

On Tuesday, Kejriwal tweeted :"I am deeply hurt and pained by what is going on in the party... I refuse to be drawn in this ugly battle."


Earlier in the day, Prashant Bhushan said the party was drifting away from its principles and tended to become a one-man force.

"There is a great danger of AAP becoming a one-man show. We didn't form the party to make it like any other political party where there is a high command and one person calls the shots," he said.

He also criticized Kejriwal for "compromising on the party's core ideology".
