Will continue to work for AAP: Yogendra Yadav

March 03, 2015 08:41

Senior Aam Aadmi Party leader Yogendra Yadav, who is in the middle of a rift within the party, has said he will be a part of it as long as it continues to work for the people and nurture their hopes.

The AAP is in strife with its internal lokpal pointing to a breakdown in mutual trust in the top leadership, and two senior leaders -Yadav and Prashant Bhushan - accusing it of abandoning its guiding principles.

Sources says the two senior leaders may be asked to step down from a top decision-making body at a national executive meeting on Wednesday as the two-year-old outfit tries to douse the flames after a series of leaked letters complaining about its functioning exposed a growing rift.

Yadav said he will go for the national executive meeting if he is invited. "AAP is a signal of hope for a large number of people in and outside Delhi. As long as it continues to work as a vehicle for good work, I will be part of it," said Yadav when asked whether he is going to resign from the party.

"As of now, I am discharging the responsibility given to me by the party. I will do the same if I am given a different responsibility. I am not in the party for a position," he added.
