New Delhi: Giving a new twist to the ongoing crisis within the Aam Aadmi Party senior party leader Prashant Bhushan on Friday alleged that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal does not like people who oppose his decisions.
“I always told Kejriwal that he had two shortcomings – first you want to take decisions in an autocratic manner, you don’t want people in your team who can oppose your decisions. He then told me that I have never been in an organisation where my decisions are not accepted,” Bhushan said at a press conference here.
“Second, having a good intention is not enough, you need to be just and fair. Lies are being spread about us that we have resigned. We had offered to resign only after our five demands were met,” he added.
Bhushan alleged that Kejriwal had intended to take support from Congress to form the government in Delhi, which was opposed by many leaders.
“The idea was floated that we should form government in Delhi by taking support from Congress.
Kejriwal then said he was the national convenor and can take this decision (to take support from Congress),” he said.
Bhushan also denied reports that he wanted Kejriwal to step down from the national convenor’s post, saying he had supported the idea that the latter should continue as national convenor after taking over as the Delhi Chief Minister.
Kejriwal, who is believed to be adamant about ensuring the removal of Bhushan and Yadav from the party’s national executive, has, however, kept silent on the issue so far. (IANS)
