No bargains made at AAP executive meeting: Yogendra Yadav
New Delhi, Mar 5(IBNS) A day after his ouster from the party's Political Affairs Committee, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), party leader Yogendra Yadav on Thursday claimed that there was no bargaining done in Wednesday's National Executive Meeting.
"This party has thousands of conscious leaders. No one can get away with what they want to do. The volunteers are the strength. I appeal all the volunteers not to be disheartened and and not to lose hope," Yadav, a founding member of the AAP said.
He, however, refused to divulge further, saying members have been asked not to speak about the party in public.
The tussle Yadav and Prashant Bhushan led within the party against Arvind Kejriwal loyalists over the question of the question of the organisation's founding principles resulted in the removal of both of them from PAC, the party's most powerful body.
However, the rumblings within AAP that came to power in Delhi recently enjoying an unprecedented people's mandate refused to die down with more dissenting voices reaching to the people and giving rise to a question over the three-year-old party's future.
But Yadav claimed that no one can write off AAP. "Do not start believing that AAP is just like any other political party. There is something in the party that it comes up, it is the strength of the volunteers. I assure you that there was no bargaining in yesterday's meeting," he said.
Describing his removal from PAC as unfortunate, Yadav said he will continue work for the party. "It's unfortunate that things have come to this. This is not about a post. NAC has taken a majority decision and it is only fair for us to abide by that," he said.
In the party's 21-member National Executive (NE), supporters of Kejriwal voted out Yadav and Bhushan by 11 to eight votes. Kejriwal was not present at the meeting.
