After four senior Aam Aadmi Party leaders issued a public statement detailing why founder members Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan were sacked from a key party panel, a newly-elected AAP legislator from Delhi has begun a signature campaign against them.
The MLA, Kapil Mishra, has written to AAP chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal with a list of complaints against Mr Yadav, Mr Bhushan and the latter's father Shanti Bhushan, and says he will get all the party's 67 legislators in Delhi to sign his petition for their expulsion.
"I will give this petition, with the support of our MLAs to Arvind (Kejriwal) ji once he comes back. I have spoken to all our MLAs and they have agreed to sign the petition," said Mr Mishra, calling for "exemplary action" against those found to be involved in "anti-party activities."
Last week, the national executive voted 11-8 to remove them from AAP's Political Affairs Committee or PAC. Mr Kejriwal's supporters said Mr Yadav and Mr Bhushan were attempting to unseat him as party chief.
He returns to Delhi on Sunday, March 15.
Mr Mishra's petition makes identical allegations.
