Amid allegations of murder of democracy, intimidation and hooliganism,
the national council of the Aam Aadmi Party removed the party’s founder
members Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan from its national executive
on Saturday March 28,2015.
The council later set in motion the process to expel them
from the party.
Anand Kumar and Ajit Jha, who had represented Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan
in negotiations with the party leadership, too were voted out of the
executive.
Party general secretary Pankaj Gupta confirmed that 247
council members voted for removing the four and eight against, while two
gave dissent notes and 54 abstained.
But the numbers tell only half the story. High drama prevailed from the
start of the meeting at a resort near Gurgaon as Yogendra Yadav sat in a
dharna outside the gates to protest against the “unfair exclusion” of
several members “who were denied entry.”
