New Delhi, March 12 (ANI): Aam Aadmi Party leader Shazia Ilmi's refusal to contest from Rae Bareli against Congress President Sonia Gandhi has sparked speculation of a growing dissent within the Arvind Kejriwal-led party. The dissent is said to be around the ticket distribution for the Lok Sabha polls. Reportedly, there was speculation of Ilmi contesting elections from Rae Bareli. However, Ilmi cleared the air on a social networking site by tweeting "I am not contesting from Rae Bareli. I never agreed to nor do I now ... I've been denying this for the last two months." This has given rise to speculation of a rising rift within the AAP party with many of its leaders leaving the party or turning rebels. Adding to the speculation, Kumar Vishwas tweeted a poetic verse, which to many indicated a rift with the party. Vishwas, however was quick to clarify that he is not 'upset' with his party.
