The Aam Aadmi Party's political affairs committee has decided to expand the party and contest polls in other states. The decision to go national is a significant one and was taken after Arvind Kejriwal returned from a 10-day break at a Bengaluru health farm.

"Welcome the PAC's statement to expand the organisation nationally & to consider contesting elections outside Delhi. Step in the right direction. (sic)," Yogendra Yadav tweeted.

Yadav briefly met Kejriwal yesterday when they were summoned to a Delhi court for a case that accuses them of defamation. This was the first time the two AAP leaders met since the rift in the party.
