Despite an overwhelming win in the Delhi assembly polls, the intra-party conflict in the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has not abated. Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan, the two founders of the party find themselves at odds with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal,  and have offered to opt out of the political affairs committee (PAC) of the party.

Prashant Bhushan, in a letter dated February 26 addressed to the national executive of the party slammed Kejriwal for "overturning collective decisions of the party".
