Two senior founder members of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) – Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav – were on Wednesday voted out of the party’s Political Affairs Committee after a six-hour-long meeting of the national executive meeting.
AAP’s national convenor, Arvind Kejriwal, whose functioning they had questioned, skipped the meeting and proceeded to Bengaluru for medical treatment. Ahead of the crucial meeting, Kejriwal had offered to resign as national convenor.
Bhushan and Yadav were ousted from the PAC after 11 executive members voted against them and eight voted in their favour.
“I am no longer authorised to speak on behalf of the party. Yogendraji and I are no longer in the PAC,” Bhushan told reporters, adding that he would remain in the party
