[In the short run, AK and his cabal will, no doubt, have to pay a heavy price. PB and YY are and will turn out to be just sore losers.
But if AK plays his cards well, he has time on his side, to recoup the losses at least in so far as the NCR is concerned. But the national project will be rather difficult to revive in the foreseeable future. Of course, on the face of it, AK is bent upon concentrating on the NCR; and, that was one of the major friction points.] I/III. http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/a-new-sting-exposes-ugliness-of-aap-rift-ahead-of-crucial-meet-tomorrow-750181 A New Sting Exposes Ugliness of AAP Rift Ahead of Crucial Meet Tomorrow All India | Reported by Sonal Mehrotra, Edited by Amit Chaturvedi | Updated: March 27, 2015 22:20 IST NEW DELHI: In a secretly-taped phone conversation last week, Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister of Delhi, is heard abusing his party colleagues Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav, and threatening to exit the Aam Aadmi Party with his 67 law-makers from Delhi. "Any other party would have thrown them out," Mr Kejriwal can be heard saying to a supporter; the conversation has been leaked as part of a bitter internal feud that has seen rival camps accuse each other of lies and forgery. The party has not questioned the authenticity of the recording. "In anger, things are said, said AAP leader Ashutosh. "When we get angry and lose our temper, we use language that should not be used," he added.

Tomorrow, the party's national executive council of about 400 members will meet to decide the future of Mr Bhushan and Mr Yadav, who claim they are being forced out of AAP by Mr Kejriwal for demanding more transparency and internal democracy. Mr Kejriwal is Convenor of AAP; his supporters insist that the rebels want him removed from the top post of the party. "Why is it that if we raise any questions at all, our intent is questioned?" Mr Yadav asked at a press conference today. "If the five points of reform we have raised are accepted, we will resign from all bodies of the party," Mr Bhushan said. Among their demands is a devolution of power to AAP branches in different states, and an investigation by the party ombudsman against party members accused of graft. Both Mr Yadav and Mr Bhushan are expected to attend tomorrow's conclave. Last night, AAP spokespersons confirmed that 10 days of negotiations had ended without a compromise being brokered.Story First Published: March 27, 2015 19:40 IST II/III. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/war-in-aap-bhushan-yadav-make-it-loud-and-clear-call-kejriwal-dictatorial/articleshow/46713711.cms War in AAP: Bhushan, Yadav make it loud and clear, call Kejriwal 'dictatorial' By ECONOMICTIMES.COM | 27 Mar, 2015, 02.11PM IST Snipped III. http://ibnlive.in.com/news/rift-within-aap-widens-kejriwal-supporters-slam-yadav-and-bhushan-for-calling-him-a-dictator/536589-37-64.html Snipped -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
