Full-blown Crisis in AAP, Party Leader Anjali Damania Quits Citing Sting

Mangalore Today News Network

New Delhi, Mar 11, 2015:  As Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party grapples with a widening rift between top leaders, a senior member of the party, Anjali Damania has quit.

 

Ms Damania tweeted today, "I quit.. Ihave not come into Aap for this nonsense. I believed him.. I backed Arvind for principles not Horse-trading."

With her tweet, Ms Damania linked the video of a sting operation by a TV channel that purportedly features the recording of a telephone conversation on breaking the Congress’ ranks between a former AAP legislator Rajesh Garg and a man who he alleges is Mr Kejriwal.

AAP leader Gopal Rai said, "I am not aware of any issue... any questions related to the party will be discussed when the party committee convenes."

In elections held in Delhi last month, the Aam Aadmi Party registered a landslide victory, winning 67 of Delhi’s 70 seats. The BJP won three, the Congress won none.

But weeks after the win, AAP has been plunged into an internal crisis, with Mr Kejriwal’s supporters seeking the ouster of founder members Yogendra Yadav and Prasahant Bhushan, who they accuse of attempting to unseat Mr Kejriwal as party chief and of having tried to ensure that AAP lost the Delhi elections.

Ms Damania had so far stood firmly by Mr Kejriwal in the rift with Mr Yadav and Mr Bhushan.
