Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is expected to miss the AAP meeting which could well decide the fate of party's founding members Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan on Wednesday. The two have taken on Kejriwal and have been critical of his way of functioning.
Sources said that missing out on the meeting would negate Kejriwal's role in the voting process to decide whether Yadav and Bhushan should be relieved from the decision-making Political Affairs Committee of AAP, reports NDTV.
The conflict has jeopardised the party's functioning in recent days.
Reacting for the first time to the squabbling within the party, Kejriwal tweeted on Tuesday, "I am deeply hurt and pained by what is going on in the party."
"This is betrayal of trust that Delhi posed in (sic) us. I refuse to be drawn in this ugly battle. Will concentrate only on Delhi's governance," the AAP chief said.
Bhushan had earlier said that Kejriwal and he had serious differences on how the party was functioning, adding that there had been a "breakdown of communication" between the two.
"There is a great danger of AAP becoming a one-man show. We didn't form the party to make it like any other political party where there is a high command and one person calls the shots," he said.
