Arvind Kejriwal Deeply hurt by internal politics

The newly formed AAP government has started getting cracks. The Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has reacted strongly to the ongoing crisis which is going within the party owing to his way of working.

Arvind Kejriwal tweeted, “”I am deeply hurt and pained by what is going on in the party. This is betrayal of trust that Delhi posed in us,”

Kejriwal stated that he will remain unaffected and would purely concentrate on Delhi’s governance.

The Chief Minister who recently fulfilled two promises of free electricity and free water supply that he made prior elections, this month.

In an interview to NDTV, Prashant Bhushan of AAP admitted that there were communication gaps between him and the party convener Arvind Kejriwal.

On the other hand, Yogendra Yadav-the other member of AAP party, in an interview told to the media that Kejriwal is the tallest leader in AAP and there is no question of removing him from his post, a post that’s equivalent to that of the party chief in AAP.

The loyalists of Kejriwal in the party have called for a meeting on March 4 to discuss on the future of two rebellions and perhaps edging them out from the political affairs committee (PAC).

Prashant Bhushan has requested to post pone the meeting of Wednesday to some other day as he is in Himachal Pradesh that day, but it does seem that the requested would be accepted as the atmosphere is already against to him.

Yogendra and Prashant had jointly given a letter to the national executive. Bhushan wrote in the letter , “One person-centric campaign, which was run during Delhi elections, is making our party look more and more like other conventional parties that are also one-person centric. The only difference being that we still claim that we are wedded to the principles of ‘swaraj’ while they don’t,”

Earlier the day, Sanjay Singh of the AAP Party targeted Bhushan and Yadav and said, “Someone from within the party, certain senior leaders are trying to remove Arvind Kejriwal from the post of National Convener, by targeting him and maligning the party.”

Another prominent member of AAP, Ashutosh also shared his views on the dispute and tweeted, “It’s clash of ideas between ultra left who demand referendum in Kashmir and pragmatic politics of welfares,” and also added on Monday, “This will make way for future politics of AAP. This is my personal view”

Those scripting stories have a lot of time but I feel sad with the intention. The government of Delhi has given us our biggest victory. The time is to work after the big victory. The country has a lot of expectations from us. I can expect that from our petty acts, we should not let this ray of hope become small,” Yogendra Yadav said in a Facebook post.
