AAP expels Bhushan, Yadav


New Delhi, April 20

AAP tonight expelled rebel leaders Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav and two others for anti-party activities and “gross indiscipline”, two days after issuing a show-cause notice to them.

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.“The party's national disciplinary committee has taken a decision to expel Prashant Bhushan, 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.

The rebels were served a show-cause notice on April 17 to explain the reason for organising “Swaraj Samwad”.

Bhushan was charged with working for party’s defeat in the Delhi assembly polls. He was also charged with supporting AWAM, a break-away group of the party.

Three of them responded to the notice except Jha. In their response to the notice, the rebels today accused party chief Arvind Kejriwal of “gross violation” of its constitution. — PTI
