Gurgaon: After sacking rebels Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) may be facing some serious backlash. Sources said that about 50 active volunteers of AAP's Gurgaon unit are likely to resign on Monday.
The volunteers met on Sunday and expressed solidarity with Yadav and Bhushan's Swaraj Samvad campaign. AAP had frozen its Gurgaon financial account a week ago. Not just the Gurgaon unit, unhappy members of AAP's Maharashtra unit will be meeting in Pune on Monday.
AAP had earlier warned its members that any support for Swaraj Samvad will be considered anti-party activity.
AAP on April 21 expelled Yadav along with Prashant Bhushan, Anand Kumar and Ajit Jha for gross indiscipline and anti-party activities. The decision to expel the four leaders was taken at AAP National Disciplinary Committee which met on April 20.
AAP claimed that Yadav, Bhushan and Kumar violated the code of conduct detailed in Article VI A (a) of the party's constitution.
Bhushan and Yadav were removed from AAP's Political Affairs Committee (PAC) on March 4. Both the camps - one headed by Kejriwal and second by the rebel duo - resorted to talks, but the negotiations failed after which Bhushan, Yadav, Anand Kumar and Ajit Jha were removed from National Executive, AAP's highest decision-making body.
The rebel leaders had then organised Swaraj Samvad convention on April 17. Falling short of declaring a new political outfit, the rebel camp announced of starting of Swaraj Abhiyan across the country. Bhushan and Yadav were one of the founder leaders of the AAP.
