Yadav asks AAP workers to put an end to infighting

Asks workers not to lose hope in the party

Days after he was dropped from AAP's Political Affairs Committee, Yogendra Yadav today said he wants an end to the infighting in the party.

"A lot of things have happened in the last few days...I have requested all party workers that whatever happens, do not lose faith and hope in the party and its idea," he told reporters here.

"Everybody is working for the party...Infighting and similar other words were used in the last 5-7 days. Party workers have come with a lot of hope and expectations, they don't want it to go on further and I also don't want it to go on further," he said.

"I have told party men no more questions and answers. It is enough. Now work is to be done. We have not come here to fight with each other, we are here to remove corruption," he said.

Yadav was here in connection with the party's 'Jai Kisan Abhiyan', which was launched last month against the BJP government in the state and the Centre to oppose "anti-farmer" policies of the party.

Refusing to comment on the party's internal matters, Yadav said, "I know a lot of things have come out in the media during the past few days. It was Holi season. Colours were thrown and mud was also thrown. Now Holi festival is over and now work is to be started."

Asked about AAP leader Mayank Gandhi's threat to quit, he said, "I don't want to take this matter further".

Gandhi had yesterday threatened to quit, accusing a "small group of party decision-makers" in Delhi of targeting him for decrying removal of Prashant Bhushan and Yadav from the party's Political Affairs Committee.

Senior AAP leaders Bhushan and Yadav, who were on a collision course with party convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, were dropped from the Political Affairs Committee of the party on March 4.

Their ouster came after the duo had raised red flag against continuation of Kejriwal as National Convener and also questioned his working style.
