Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh on Saturday said that taking into view the present scenario, a break up within the party cannot be ruled out.

"Taking into view present scenario, we cannot rule out the breaking up of AAP. We made serious efforts to resolve issues and agreed on all of their terms," Singh told ANI.

Meanwhile, his colleague and party spokesperson Ashutosh said everything will be accounted for in the party's national council meeting today.

"Everything will be accounted for, tough questions will be asked, who were the people who conspired for the defeat of the party," he said.

The AAP national council meeting today will take a decision on removing senior leaders Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav from the party's national executive.

The internal rift within the party had widened after the founding members of the party-Yadav and Bhushan-were accused of working for the party's defeat during the Delhi assembly polls last month.

Members supporting Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal have accused them of anti-party activities while Yadav and Bhushan have alleged that the internal democracy of the party had been lost.

The party has also been rocked by a sting featuring an alleged telephonic conversation between Kejriwal and AAP leader Umesh Singh.

In their discussion, Kejriwal reportedly used strong language against Yadav and Bhushan and threatened to quit the AAP to launch a new party.
