Kejriwal Faction Starts Process to Reaches Out Yadav , Bhushan To End Rift

18 March,New Delhi

Aam Aadmi Party has decided to take steps to douse the flames of dissent by reaching out to senior leaders Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan besides expanding the party in other states, one of the contentious issues behind the rift.

A meeting of AAP’s Political Affairs Committee, the party’s top decision-making body, held at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s Kaushambi residence Tuesday night also decided to enhance the involvement of its volunteers in its decision-making process.

Senior party leader Sanjay Singh told reporters after the two-hour-long meeting that Kejriwal and other senior leaders expressed concern over the party’s image getting hit following the bitter fight between warring factions that have come out in the open during the past two weeks.

He said, leaders have already started working to normalise the situation in the party and taken a step forward as they have already met Yadav.

Singh said the PAC has also decided to expand the party in other states, an issue over which Yadav had come under fire as he had favoured AAP spreading its wings in some other states.

A decision on which states party should contest elections in will be taken only after looking at political capacity and leadership in those states. In the party’s last National Executive meet on 4th of this month, both Yadav and Bhushan were removed from the Political Affairs Committee, over accusations of working against the party and trying to malign Mr Kejriwal’s image.
