AAP-PACThe internal rift within Aam Aadmi Party has widened with party chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal insisting on Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan’s removal from the National Executive, ahead of the crucial National Council meeting on March 28.

According to news agency ANI, AAP sources have confirmed that Kejriwal is adamant on removal of Bhushan and Yadav from National Executive.

The AAP sources further said that as long as Yadav and Bhushan are in the party, Kejriwal has refused to take calls related to party work and its responsibilities.

Resolution will be moved in National Council to remove Yadav and Bhushan. The final decision will be taken by voting on the resolution, the sources added.

Reports suggest that Kejriwal conveyed his stand during AAP’s Political Affairs Committee (PAC) held on Wednesday evening.

The PAC is scheduled to meet at 6 pm again today at Kejriwal’s residence and deliberate on the contentious issue.

Sources said Yadav and Bhushan made it clear that there was no valid ground for them to step down from the 21-member National Executive and Kejriwal loyalists should instead address the issues raised by them.

Last ditch efforts by party Lokpal Admiral Ramdas to push for reconciliation failed to make any headway with both camps sticking to their stands.

However, Ilyas Azmi, member of the Political Affairs Committee (PAC), said patch-up efforts were still underway. “We will keep trying till the last minute,” he said after the PAC meeting here.

“He (Kejriwal) is not willing to concede and has been demanding resignation of Bhushan and Yadav. Even Ramdas tried to intervene, but it is heading nowhere,” said a leader close to Yadav.

Late in the night, Yogendra Yadav tweeted:

Yogendra Yadav@AapYogendra
A fake campaign is being run in my name. Callers with false identities proposing me as national convenor. Ridiculous. Outrageous. BEWARE!
