The month-long drama within the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ended with Yogendra Yadav, Prashant Bhushan, Prof Anand Kumar and Ajit Jha being expelled from the core membership of the party.
Party spokesperson Deepak Bajpai confirmed the news and added that the four former National Executive members were expelled from the AAP for “anti-party” activities. The decision to sack them from the party was taken by the national disciplinary committee which said it was not satisfied with the response it got to the show-cause notice issued to the rebels.
“The party’s national disciplinary committee has taken a decision to expel Prashant Bhusan, Yogendra Yadav, Anand Kumar and Ajit Jha. They were expelled for gross indiscipline, anti-party activities and violation of code of conduct of the party,” said party spokesperson Deepak Bajpai.
