New Delhi, Mar 29: A day after removing leaders Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan from the National Committee, the Aam Aadmi Party on Sunday removed Prashant Bhushan from the National Disciplinary Committee.
The AAP also formed a three-member panel as internal Lokpal and rejigged National Disciplinary Committee.
On Saturday, soon after their dramatic expulsion from the Aam Aadmi Party’s national executive on Saturday, Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan did not rule out the possibility of floating a new political outfit.
The two leaders may take the AAP to court or to the Election Commission over the manner in which the national council meeting was conducted.
Though Mr. Yadav said he was “shell-shocked” by events at the meeting and would have to speak to volunteers, the possibility of a splinter group breaking away from the AAP is now a possibility.
Notably, Mr. Yadav and Mr. Bhushan were joined at their press conference by AAP’s Punjab MP Dharamvir Gandhi, who condemned the events at the meeting.
The third option for the two leaders, sources say, is to ask for a fresh national council meeting which can be done if enough members are dissatisfied with how it was conducted on Saturday. It is a remote possibility.
Both Mr. Bhushan and Mr. Yadav went into a huddle with supporters and were unavailable for comment.
