The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday criticised the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for suspending two Members of Parliament from Punjab, saying, those talking of internal democracy within the party will be suspended.
"Arvind Kejriwal does not like his criticism. Anyone who talks of democracy in the party will be shown the doors," said Upadhayay.
"The suspension of members is not new, they had earlier suspended Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan, and it raises serious questions on the internal democracy of the party," Upadhyay added.
Upadhyay futher said that the suspended members are elected MPs who have played a major role for AAP in Punjab. They are out of the party because of internal dictatorship.
"There is dictatorship of Arvind Kejriwal in the party," he added.
Dharamvir Gandhi and H. S. Khalsa, the two Aam Aadmi Party MPs from Punjab were suspended on charges of anti-party activities.
