Kumar Vishwas talks of ‘AAP 2’, Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav Return

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Aam Admi Party (AAP) leader Kumar Vishwas on Sunday said the party was holding discussions with those who left the party, including Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav, to facilitate their return to the party fold. The controversial remarks, however, were refuted by a party leader close to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

“If no one has joined a political party and wants to come here… if one has formed a political party and wants to merge their party with ours… if someone went back for doing social work after being unhappy with us… the list is long. From Subhash Ware to Anjali Damania, Mayank Gandhi, Dharamvira Gandhi to Prashant ji and Yogendra ji.

We are synchronising the list (of such people),” Mr Kumar said after an interaction with party volunteers at the AAP office in New Delhi. “Dialogues are being held with them by volunteers. We will ask for forgiveness for the mistakes we did.”

AAP founder members Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan were sacked by the party in April 2015 for “anti-party” activities after they questioned party chief Arvind Kejriwal’s style of functioning. Subhash Ware was the party head of the Maharashtra state unit, and was considered close to Mr Yadav and Mr Bhushan. Although, Mr. Ware continues to be a part of the party, the state unit headed by him was disbanded.
