In a series of tweets, AAP's Janakpuri MLA Rajesh Rishi quoted couplets saying a regime nears its end if one relies on sycophants and tagged Kejriwal.
However, Rishi later deleted the tweets and said he was not quitting the party.
"I am with the party since the India Against Corruption days and will not quit the AAP or join any other party," he said.
Sources said he was not happy with the ticket distribution in his constituency for the upcoming MCD polls.
The party tried to control the damage claiming that everything is fine between the leadership and the MLA.
After announcing candidates for MCD polls, the AAP replaced 15 of them. The party also termed it as an "internal matter" without giving the reason behind the move.
It is not only trying to pacify those who were replaced, but also trying to deal with workers unhappy with ticket distribution. Even some MLAs are believed to have been unhappy with ticket distribution.
Parkash was also learnt to have been upset with the party over ticket distribution. AAP has 65 MLAs in the 70-member Assembly.
Rishi was in news after his brother was arrested for assaulting a women last month.
Interestingly, the party had fielded Rishi, along with other Poorvanchali MLAs, to take on Delhi BJP President Manoj Tiwari when note ban was announced.
