New Delhi, Mar 11 (IBNS): Widening the rift further within the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the party MLAs have now asked the top leadership to remove senior leaders Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan to set an example for others.

According to reports, the MLAs have written a letter to the party leadership seeking their removals.

In the letter, they have charged the two senior leaders of 'anti-party activities', 'making adverse statements in the media', 'conspiracy to tarnish the image of Arvind Kejriwal and remove him' among others.

On Tuesday, senior party leaders Manish Sisodia, Gopai Rai, Pankaj Gupta and Sanjay Singh accused that Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav were attempting to defeat the party during the recent Delhi Assembly polls.

Elaborating the party's decision to remove founding members Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan from the Political Affairs Committee (PAC), the AAP leader in a joint statement said: "The Aam Aadmi Party had registered a historic victory in the Delhi Assembly polls. It was a result of the immense hard work by all the party workers."

"When these workers were working hard to ensure the party's victory, our three big leaders- Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav and Shanti Bhushan- were trying hard for the party's defeat," it said.

Amid turmoil within the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the national executive of the same on Mar 4 decided to remove its founding members Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan from the party's PAC.

The AAP had registered a landslide victory in the Delhi Assembly polls to form the government in the national capital.
