AAP tends to become one-man centric : Prashant Bhushan

Speaking out for the first time in public on the current tussle within the party, Bhushan has admitted to NDTV that there has been a "breakdown of communication" between him and Arvind Kejriwal and  the issues that make the difference are on the basic ideas and principles on which the party was founded.

The revelation of the crux of contention within the AAP comes a day before the party seats for its national executive meeting to address the vexed internal issues.

Bhushan  has described as "absolutely baseless and absurd" the allegations that he along with party's founder-member Yogendra Yadav are "conspiring" to unseat Arvind Kejriwal.

"The real issue is that there has been some evidence that the party has slipped from principles of transparency," Bhushan  said..

T"here is certainly a great danger of that happening in the party...We had formed a party which was different from all the other political parties where there is 'no one-man centric campaign',he said..

"I spoke to Arvind and we discussed about decision-making processes in the party. These processes were to be credibly independent and collective in nature.
I respect Arvind's political judgments. But sometimes he could be wrong too.
I feel we have to be absolutely firm on our ethical principles but Arvind differs at times and says we need to make certain compromises in politics," he said.

Bhushan said though Kejriwal is a  "unique leader" who has  "remarkable qualities", he has to recognise his weaknesses too. "I said we must set systems such that its not your writ that should prevail in decision making."

He says the party's national executive committee meeting will discuss whether to seek Congress support again or not.
