Yogendra Yadav before leaving his house for AAP's national executive meeting
Just ahead of a key meeting of the Aam Aadmi Party where action against him is likely, Yogendra Yadav appeared to be making conciliatory moves.
"We are not in favour of splitting and there was no question of quitting. If there is a need to reform including myself, I will bow my head and reform," Mr Yadav told NDTV.
Mr Yadav admitted there were "differences" in AAP, but said this was perhaps "an attempt to re-balance the party on the priorities it was created for".
But despite these conciliatory statements, it may be too late for Mr Yadav with several key decision makers in the AAP holding a firm view that he should be shown the door.
"This is the first step towards starting proceedings to expel Yadav who has been working against the party," said a member of the party's executive.
The party's National Executive is meeting right now to debate on action against Mr Yadav and Prashant Bhushan, founder members of the AAP. AAP leaders have accused Mr Yadav and Mr Bhushan of conspiring to unseat Mr Kejriwal as convenor of the 21-member National Executive.
The AAP internal battle has played out in a series of letters that have been leaked. In a joint letter, Mr Yadav and Mr Bhushan expressed concern about the party's functioning.
Mr Kejriwal is not attending today's meeting because he is unwell. He has, however, offered to quit as the national convenor of the party saying he was "overburdened with work" as Delhi's Chief Minister, and would not be able to handle both jobs efficiently.
The resignation issue is likely to be taken up in the meeting and is expected to be rejected. Party sources say a resolution will also be moved seeking Mr Bhushan and Mr Yadav's recall from the Political Affairs Committee (PAC).
