Having won the Delhi assembly election by a grand majority last month, the Aam Admi Party (AAP) was buzzing with positivity until the founder members of the AAP, Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan, have become talking points across media newsrooms since yesterday.The duo have hinted at opting out of the political affairs committee (PAC) of the party citing reasons of fund discrepancy and one-man centric attitude of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Having ignited, an inter-party coalition in a letter addressed to the national executive of the party, dated February 26, Prashant Bhushan has accused Kejriwal for "overturning collective decisions of the party".
Analysing the contents of the letter, The Economic Times have found that Bhushan has also blamed Kejriwal of ignoring the party’s public stand and seeking the Congress party’s support for forming government in Delhi.
Meanwhile , Yogendra Yadav, Prashant Bhushan and Shanti Bhushan have been accused of anti-party activities by AAP’s Delhi secretary Dilip Pandey in a letter to the national secretary Pankaj Gupta. The Economic Times has further reported that AAP’s national executive has authorised Kejriwal to reconstitute the party’s top decision making body, PAC.

Bhushan has suggested that Delhi ministers Manish Sisodia and Gopal Rai should ensure some fresh air in the top decision-making body besides implementing some more geographical and gender diversities in the PAC.
He has further demanded organisational reforms and more frequent meetings of bodies like the national executive.
The financial daily has learnt from a top party source, who did not wish to be identified that “Prashantji's proposal concerning Manish (Sisodia) and Gopal (Rai) was only a suggestion and not a condition.”
However, ET is yet to receive a response from Yadav and Bhushan despite repeated attempts as both were out of town. Apart from the duo, even Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal hasn’t yet reacted to these reports.
