There is Peace Now, Tweets AAPs Kumar Vishwas Amid Moves to End Rift

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has accepted an invitation to meet estranged colleagues Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan with this succinct response via text saying "will meet soon."

Mr Kejriwal was urged yesterday, also on text, by Mr Bhushan, to set aside some time for a conferral to "end the controversy", a considerably euphemistic description of the infighting that has erupted with brute force within the Aam Aadmi Party or AAP since its historic win in the Delhi election.

Mr Bhushan and Mr Yadav were dropped earlier this month from a major decision-making body of AAP, reportedly at the urging of the Chief Minister and his supporters.  Since then, the party has been vertiginously placed with rival camps using and leaking letters and hidden camera stings to malign each other.

Mr Kejriwal returned to Delhi last evening after a 10-day health camp in Bengaluru.

Senior leaders from his team met with Mr Yadav late last night, said sources who described the talks as "positive."

"There is peace after a three-hour sleep. There is peace now. We will be successful," party leader Kumar Vishwas tweeted this morning.

The Kejriwal camp had alleged that Mr Bhushan and Mr Yadav wanted the party to lose the Delhi Assembly elections and were attempting to remove the Delhi Chief Minister from the post of AAP National Convener, which makes him the top-most authority in the party.

Those close to Mr Bhushan and Mr Yadav say Mr Kejriwal is closed to any point of view that differs from his own, and ignore crucial inputs from senior party leaders including themselves, on important issues like which candidates to pick for the Delhi election.

Mr Yadav met briefly with the Chief Minister today when they were summoned to a Delhi court for a case that accuses them of defamation.
