New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) internal crisis has further escalated with its top leaders Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan offering to resign from the highest decision making body, political affairs committee (PAC).
Yesterday, party’s Delhi unit secretary Dilip Pandey had written a letter to national secretary Pankaj Gupta accusing three founding members -- Yogendra Yadav, Prashant Bhushan and Shanti Bhushan -- of anti-party activities.
According to a report published in Economic Times, the party had constituted a 3-member panel on Friday comprising Pankaj Gupta, Anand Kumar and Gopal Rai to mediate between the three leaders.
The panel met Yadav Saturday night and Bhushan on Sunday morning. The two leaders have reportedly conveyed to the panel their offer to quit the PAC.
A final decision on their offer will now be taken by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
"The ball is now in Arvind's court as he has the final authority to decide who will be part of the body," a top AAP leader told ET.
According to the ET report, Prashant Bhushan, on February 26, wrote a letter to the national executive of the party slamming Arvind Kejriwal for overturning collective decisions of the party.
