Arvind Kejriwal forced Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav ouster, blogs Mayank Gandhi

NEW DELHI: The day after AAP's founding members Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav were ousted from the party's political affairs committee ( PAC), the bile in the organization began to surface with senior functionary Mayank Gandhi blogging to express shock over how the duo were removed by Kejriwal loyalists.

The blog has in turn triggered online comments from party volunteers and supporters lamenting the “unfortunate turn of events". Gandhi wrote, “I was taken aback by the resolution of removing them publicly , especially as they themselves were willing to leave...Also, this decision to sack them was against the overwhelming sentiments of volunteers from all over the world...the manner and intention behind the resolution was not acceptable.“ An online plea, which, on last count, had more than 2,000 signatories, demanded that the leadership provide evidence of Yadav and Bhushan's antiparty activities--the charge on which matters came to a head and Kejriwal insisting that unless the duo are removed from the PAC he would not remain the party's national convenor, or, the party boss. That the ouster was brewing is apparent from the blog. Gandhi wrote, “On 26th Feb night, when members of the national executive went to meet him, Arvind conveyed he will not be able to work as convener if these two members were part of the PAC."

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal began his day at 5am at Jindal Naturecure Institute on Thursday. It was his second day there. Kejriwal, along with his parents, actively practised yoga kriyas and engaged in laughter therapy.
