Kejriwal’s One-Man Show With AAP Seems Unpopular. Yogendra Yadav, Prashant Bhushan In The Right?


As Arvind Kejriwal returned from Bengaluru, Delhi received him minus the cheer. After the 5 saal Kejriwal chant that resounded across Delhi, the man won the city's heart and 67 seats these elections. Then he went on to take oath as chief minister on Valentine's Day, in a ceremony that was not short of a wedding, as far as emotions go. Unlike the last time though, Kejriwal isn't being accused of being a 'bhagoda'. The problem this time around is a rift within the party. One faction of the party believes in losing its Delhi-centric identity, in branching out to other states. The other faction, is largely Kejriwal.



The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief is holding the reins too tight, some argue.

"The issue of expansion has been the bone of contention between Kejriwal and Yogendra Yadav. The latter strongly advocated moving to Haryana, Punjab and Bihar among other states after forming government in Delhi and emerge as a national alternative."

"In a joint letter to the National Executive (NE), Bhushan and Yadav mentioned that despite the majority in the NE wanting the state units to decide autonomously on state polls, Kejriwal overturned the decision," Firstpost reports.

AAP volunteers in Karnataka moved a resolution demanding to bring back Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan in the Political Affairs Committee, from which they were ousted on March 4.

As AAP member Rajmohan Gandhi wrote in a strongly-worded article in The Tribune: "But Arvind cannot bring about the revolution he wants on his own, or with the aid only of people he is comfortable with. Not round the clock, not every day, but at least occasionally, he will need the comradeship of ‘difficult’ and questioning human beings who may have valuable ideas, talents and perspectives, and whose commitment has earned the trust of a large number of Indians, including many AAP volunteers."

"Persons, in other words, like Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan. And Arvind must insulate his large bold heart against suspicion towards true colleagues."

The other big problem, of course, are the stings.

Party member Rajesh Garg, who was instructed by the CM to record fishy telephonic conversations, 'stung' Kejriwal himself by releasing an audio tape where one can allegedly hear the chief trying to buy out Congress MLAs.
