AAP crisis: Congress asks Kejriwal not to look after 'selfish ambitions'

Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) chief Ajay Maken on Saturday appealed to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to look after the hopes and aspirations of the people of Delhi and not just their own selfish ambitions.

"This is a matter of great concern. We would like to appeal to Mr. Kejriwal and his party to look after the affairs of the people of Delhi, don't just look after your own selfish ambitions and look after what the people of Delhi have chosen you for, look after the hope and aspirations of the people," Maken told ANI here.

"On one hand, the people of Delhi are facing problems; on the other hand, senior AAP leaders are fighting against each other," he added.

Maken said that the hopes and aspirations of people of Delhi have been murdered following the infighting within the AAP.

Earlier in the day, AAP's founder members Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan were removed from the party's national executive. Anand Kumar and Ajit Jha were also removed the national executive.

Talking to the media after the meeting that was chaired by AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, Yogendra Yadav said that democracy has been murdered in the meet.

He accused Kejriwal of doing nothing when the national council members were being beaten and alleged that the meeting was an orchestrated performance.

AAP leader Sanjay Singh, however, later said the reports of scuffle during the meeting are completely baseless and untrue.
