Arvind Kejriwal today offered to quit a top post as his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) held a meeting to decide on two leaders who have attacked him repeatedly. Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan, both founder members, are likely to be removed from AAP's decision-making panel.
Mr Kejriwal sent a resignation letter this morning to the AAP national executive, saying he was "overburdened with work" as Delhi's Chief Minister, and would not be able to handle both jobs efficiently. He is not attending the executive's meeting.
This is his second resignation offer in a week. It will be debated in the meeting and, sources say, will be rejected.
"It is too late for any reconciliation," a top party leader told NDTV before the AAP meet.
"Na Todenge, na chhodenge. Sudhrenge aur sudharenge (We won't break the party or quit. We will improve ourselves and others)," Mr Yadav said this morning.
Mr Kejriwal, 46, will fly to Bengaluru on Thursday for 10-day treatment at a naturopathy farm. He has high blood sugar and coughing, say party sources, who add, however, that the AAP chief deliberately skipped today's meeting.
The leadership battle was exposed by several internal notes flying between two camps.
