Dissident Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Prashant Bhushan on Thursday said that he and Yogendra Yadav would go ahead with the 'Swaraj Samwad ' and use the positive energy of people who feel cheated by the AAP for systematic change in the country.

"Samraj Samwad was organised in order to save and channelize the positive energy of a lot of people who had come out with a lot of idealism to change the systems in this country, to change the nature of politics and who are feeling cheated today by the manner in which the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is behaving, where there appears to be no internal democracy, no Swaraj, no transparency and no accountability," Bhushan told ANI.

"We are going to go ahead and use positive and creative energies of such people for systematic change in this country," he added.

Bhushan had earlier this week held a 'Swaraj Samwad ' meeting in the national capital along with Yadav.

During the meeting, the duo, along with Shanti Bhushan, attacked the AAP leadership for not fulfilling promises which it made earlier as a new political outfit.

They claimed that the party's senior leaders got dictatorial and started imposing rigid orders on people who do not share their opinion.

The members also said that they want to form an organization which is transparent and completely works on the basis of 'Swaraj' and added that announcing a new political party would again face the same challenges which AAP is facing today.
