AVAM protests over allegations of horse trading against Kejriwal

The AAP Volunteer Action Manch (AVAM) staged a protest on Wednesday outside the party's office in Patel Nagar over allegations of horse trading against party chief Arvind Kejriwal.

Holding candles in their hands, the AVAM sought an explanation form Kejriwal over the allegations levelled against him.

"This party has gone into the pockets of a few individuals. We have come here to show light to this party so that it does not deviate from its principles. We have put our heart and soul into the party," they said.

Earlier in the day, AAP's senior member from Maharashtra Anjali Damania quit over allegations of horse-trading against Kejriwal.

With her tweet, she linked the video of a news report by a TV channel featuring the recording of a purported telephone conversation between former AAP legislator Rajesh Garg and a man who he alleges is Kejriwal.

Damania's disclosure comes at a time when the AAP is battling an internal crisis, with Kejriwal's supporters seeking the ouster of founder members Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan.

The AAP chief's supporters have accused the duo of attempting to unseat Kejriwal and of having tried to ensure that the party lost the Delhi Assembly polls.
