Opposition BJP and Congress on Wednesday attacked Aam Aadmi Party after senior leaders Ashish Khetan and Ashutosh quit the party in a span of a week, claiming that the development underlines a decline in the charisma of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
“Arvind Kejriwal is one time wonder whose charisma is fast losing its sheen among the people of Delhi and the leaders of his own party. It now appears that by the time of next Vidhan Sabha elections in 2020, the Aam Aadmi Party will vanish from the political horizon,” Tiwari said in a statement. Tiwari said that to fulfil his political ambitions, the AAP convenor brought together a rabble of politically ambitious activists who had no political ideology.
The Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) also slammed the AAP's national convenor.”Within 6 years of forming the party, most of the old guards, founding members of AAP have left. Obviously something is terribly wrong within the party,” DPCC's chief spokesperson Sharmistha Mukherjee tweeted.
leader of Opposition in the Delhi legislative Assembly, Vijendra Gupta said that Ashish Khaitan, one of the founder members of AAP has left the Party. He is the second big leader to leave the party within last one week.
