Congress slams AAP over internal conflicts; AAP says efforts are on to resolve differences

New Delhi, June 8 (ANI): The Congress party questioned the stability of Aam Aadmi Party as rumours of a rift within the latter gained momentum, with members meeting in New Delhi to discuss the poll debacle, the deep differences among its senior members and the spate of resignations by prominent leaders tainting its reputation. The three-day Aam Aadmi Party national executive meet was chaired by party chief, Arvind Kejriwal, amid reports of infighting and a rift between party leaders, Manish Sisodia and Yogendra Yadav. Sisodia accused Yadav of disintegrating the party and targeting Kejriwal while Yadav claimed that the party was falling prey to a personality cult. Taking a jibe at this infighting, Congress leader, Arvinder Singh Lovely, said that AAP is a party of power hungry people with vested interests. Further, Congress General Secretary, Shakeel Ahmad, said that AAP is trapped in its own game. Meanwhile, AAP leader, Prashant Bhushan, said that efforts are on to resolve the differences that have arisen between them. Jun 8, 2014
