Divisions within the Aam Admi Party (AAP) are coming to the shore and were highlighted today when the party’s top brass attacked Shanti Bhushan, Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav by accusing them of working against the party and trying to damage the image of the party leader, Arvind Kejriwal.

According to Business Line, in a first official statement by top party leaders since the infighting came out in the open, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, Transport Minister Gopal Rai, party’s General Secretary Pankaj Gupta and Sanjay Singh defended the national executive’s decision to oust Prashant and Yadav from the political affairs committee (PAC). “The trio, especially Prashant called up volunteers from other States and told them not to campaign for the party. I will not be campaigning for the party this time. You guys also don’t campaign. It is necessary for the party to lose. It is only then Arvind (Kejriwal) will get some sense,” the leaders said in the statement.

“While all workers were struggling to ensure the party’s victory, the trio – Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav and Shanti Bhushan – were making allout efforts for the party’s defeat,” the joint statement said. “The PAC did not publicise the reasons behind the move as it could affect the senior duo’s reputation… But the manner in which an atmosphere has been created that the NE was undemocratic and irresponsible, and the questions raised in the minds of the AAP activists, we are compelled to give this explanation,” the statement added.
