Deeply hurt by what is going on: Arvind Kejriwal
New Delhi, Mar 3 (IBNS) Amid the bickering within the Aam Aadmi Party, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday tweeted that he was pained by the developments and would not be drawn into it.
"I refuse to be drawn in this ugly battle.Will concentrate only on Delhi's governance," tweeted Kejriwal adding that he would not allow the people's faith in them to be undermined.
"I am deeply hurt and pained by what is going on in the party. This is betrayal of trust that Delhi posed in us," he said.
Amid differences that divided the party in two camps, party veteran Prashant Bhushan has said that the party tends to become a one-man force.
Speaking out for the first time in public on the current tussle within the party, Bhushan has admitted to NDTV that there has been a "breakdown of communication" between him and Arvind Kejriwal and the issues that make the difference are on the basic ideas and principles on which the party was founded.
He said the party should not veer away from its founding principles.
The revelation of the crux of contention within the AAP comes days before the party sits for its national executive meeting to address the vexed internal issues.
Bhushan has described as "absolutely baseless and absurd" the allegations that he along with party's founder-member Yogendra Yadav are "conspiring" to unseat Arvind Kejriwal.
"The real issue is that there has been some evidence that the party has slipped from principles of transparency," Bhushan said..
"There is certainly a great danger of that happening in the party...We had formed a party which was different from all the other political parties where there is 'no one-man centric campaign," he said..
A big rift is out in the open in the top leadership of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) which swept to power in Delhi, with senior leaders Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhusan at loggerheads with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
While a senior AAP leader said it is a clash of ideas and not personality, media reports said AAP is roiled by internal differences of two groups.
