Former AAP spokesperson Yogendra Yadav speaks to the media after he and Prashant Bhushan were shunted out of the party's Political Affairs Committee last evening.

Yadav said he has been flooded with messages of solidarity, grief, and even condolences after he was asked to leave the PAC.

When a reporter asks him if he will stick to his decision to not resign, Yadav repeats what he tweeted yesterday: Na todenge, na chhodenge, sudhaarenge, khud bhi sudharenge.

In the 15-minute long Q&A with the reporters, Yadav said, "Don't write off AAP as yet. The idea of AAP is bigger than all of us. It can transform the country. Let us not lose faith. And that is what I told our volunteers too."

Largely silent on Arvind Kejriwal, Yadav who is seen as the conscience keeper of the party said it would be presumtious to believe that he or Prashant Bhushan were the only conscience keepers. "We have thousands of conscience keepers. Volunteers are the bedrock of this party. I have much greater faith in them than on the two of us. I have been getting messages from AAP supporters from all across the nation in last 12 hours," he said.

He said it did not matter if he was asked to leave the PAC. "If AAP blossoms and flowers and Prashant Bhushan and I can help in that, it will be the best."

Refusing to discuss what happened at the meeting yesterday, he said,  a decision had been taken that the proceedings of the meeting would be kpet private.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal chose to keep away from the meeting but his will prevailed at the Aam Aadmi party national executive meeting as the partys founder members Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav were voted out of its political affairs committee.

The national executive also rejected Kejriwals decision, conveyed before the meeting started, to resign as the partys national convenor.
