After a marathon meeting held at Pune today, state chief Subhash Ware dashed off an email to National Convener Arvind Kejriwal urging him to "sort out and get out" of the controversies immediately to prevent "further loss of the confidence and credential" of the party.
State Executive Committee members decided not to divulge the content to the media, but to hold a press conference on Saturday to put light on the issue.
"Few members were extremely upset and furious over the ways that top leadership themselves invited unncessecery controversies. While other were very much angry over the undemocratic ouster of Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav, Admiral Ramdas, Anand Kumar and Ajit Jha," he added.
Another senior party leader and state executive member Ravi Srivastava also said, "Yes, current crisis in the party was the first and foremost foremost issue that we discussed throughly today and apprised National Convener about it."
Srivastava also said since state executive had accepted Anjali Damania's resignation from all the posts and primary membership on 3 October 2014, hence she did not attend the meeting.
Slamming the decision of ousting founding members of the party, another member said, "We must not forget the contributions made by Bhushan and Yadav at least. If we treat our founding members in such humiliating ways, then we how a common man would believe in us." added another state executive member from Mumbai, who took part in the meeting.
"While we were in Delhi to take part in National Council meeting, we all had decided to convene meeting immediately after reaching at our home state. And this meeting was the result of our decision and unity," added the member.
