NC meeting staged; Arvind Kejriwal kept mum when members were beaten up: Yogendra Yadav

• Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan

After being removed from AAP National Executive on Saturday in a National Council meeting, the founding members Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav have claimed that Arvind Kejriwal orchestrated their removal

Amid chaos and high drama, a resolution to remove the two dissident leaders along with their supporters Anand Kumar and Ajit Jha from the powerful panel was passed at the National Council with 247 members supporting it. The duo had slammed the decision as “murder of democracy”.

Yadav and Bhushan have claimed that the entire meeting was staged and bouncers were used to quash any dissent to faciliate the removal. They brought up the issue of the denial of entry to the Lokpal Admiral Ramdas. They also said that the may legitimate National Council members were not allowed entry in the meeting while goons brought in as AAP members.

Yogendra Yadav said, “We were disturbed since last evening wondering why was the Admiral Ramdas not invited for the NC meeting. He called today’s conduct of the party worse than their political opponents. Alleging that Kejriwal scripted meeting, he said, ” Kejriwal spoke for an hour at the meeting levelling just allegations against me and Prashant Bhushan.”

He also said that the Kejriwal ‘stood like a statue’ when he and his supporters were allegedly roughed up. Delhi CM incited goons. “Kejriwal was provoking goons. The goons raised slogans and charged towards us.”

He claimed that top AAP leaders were beaten up. “Ramzan Chaudhury was hit by professional boxers inside the meeting when he said that we should be heard.
