Note to volunteers-NE on 4th March

Dear Volunteers,

I am extremely sorry that I am breaking the diktat of not speaking to anyone outside on what transpired in the National Executive meeting, yesterday. Generally, I am a disciplined soldier of the party.

Arvind used to say that when they were coming out of the joint draft committee meeting of the Lokpal in 2011, Kapil Sibal used to ask them not to reveal anything to the outside world. Arvind used to answer that it was his primary duty to inform the nation about the proceedings, as he was not a leader but a representative of the people. Truth and transparency was all that he had.

My presence in the National Executive is only as a representative of the volunteers. And I would be dishonest to accept the gag order. The volunteers cannot be removed from the equation; they are the source of the party. Rather than get information from selective leaks and stray statements, I have decided to give some factual details of the meeting in the public domain.

Last night I was told that disciplinary action would be taken against me, if I revealed anything. So be it – my first allegiance is to the higher truth. Here is an essence of the meeting with regards to removal of YY and PB, based on my understanding. I would request NE to release the minutes of the meeting.

Short background
During the Delhi campaign, Prashant Bhushan had threatened multiple times that he will hold press conference against the party, because of his concerns on candidate selection. Some of us were successful in somehow or other to stave off the threat till the elections. It was alleged that Yogendra Yadav was conspiring against Arvind and some evidences were produced. There were also operational irreconcilable differences and trust deficit between AK, PB and YY 

On 26th Feb night when members of the NE went to meet him, Arvind conveyed that he will not be able to work as Convenor, if these two members were part of the PAC. That was the background of the NE on 4th March.

NE meeting
Yogendra said that he understood that Arvind did not want them in PAC, as it was difficult to him to work together. He and Prashant would be happy to stay out of PAC, but they should not be singled out. Two formulas were put forward by him.

·         That the PAC be reconstituted and new PAC members be elected through voting. PB and YY will not put their candidature.

·         That PAC continue to function in the present form and YY and PB would not attend any of the meetings.

The meeting broke for some time and Manish and others conferred with the Delhi team of Ashish Khetan, Asutosh, Dilip Pandey and others. After reassembling, Manish proposed a resolution that YY and PB be removed from the PAC and it was seconded by Sanjay Singh.

I abstained to vote, because of two contrary reasons

1. Arvind needs a smooth working in the PAC. So, I agreed that PB and YY may be out of PAC and take some alternate important roles. 

2. I was taken aback by the resolution of removing them publicly, especially as they themselves were willing to leave.Also, this decision to sack them was against the overwhelming sentiments of volunteers from all over the world.

So, while I agreed that they can step down from the PAC, the manner and intention behind the resolution was not acceptable. Hence, the decision to abstain.

The other details may come when the minutes of meeting is released.

This is not a revolt, nor is this some publicity ploy. I will not go to the press. There may be some repercussions overt and covert against me. So be it. 

Jai Hind

Love

Mayank Gandhi

Thanks for your act of courage Mayank. Is the story of Orwell's Animal Farm in its new version is getting unfolded in AAP? It seems what Napoleon did to Snowball in Animal Farm is what AK and his cronies have done to YY and PB. Saddened by the happenings in AAP. Does not augur well for the party.

Unknown said...

The politics being played by all including PB SB and YY are like hardened politicians in any other party, I wonder at which level of misery or ecstacy they are according to your well detailed levels of consciousness for volunteers, Do these levels apply to my these leaders as well.

The last time when he could not manage the situation, Arvind quit CM's post. Now he is running away to Bangalore. I tell you, he is a runaway kid. Cannot stand intense competition. He has realized that he has bitten more than he could chew and is trying escape routes. But this time either he will have to deliver or quit once for all. No excuses.

Dear Mayank Gandhi, when Mahathma Gandhi but nameless formless sutradari eternal behind the person Mayank Gandhi surfaces more & more acting spontaneously moment to moment like Mother Theresa, bloomimg flowers spreading fragrance, the Nature, say living example of True Saints who do not appear to lead people but merged in people-then politics of AAP can be said as different and moving more selfless; words are traps; words are thoughts=ime center=ego=manas=past, present, future, time Only total silence every moment reveal what is when ego is not; but part and parcel the driver Nature. JK asks can politics ever be spiritualised? The challenge not for mind but for heart of AAP movement is to move in this direction by every volunteer, leader, very discrimination even as AAP as we are different becomes impediment. Humans are not saints.Every Saint has realised self & Driving SELF and beyond.Humans heriditarily, inherently mind manas ego ime greed-desires, fear, jealosy, pride,lust, anger, worry, anxiety etc driven- which hides itself behind words & thoughts, plans, ideals, activities -all these missing Active Present Now - but ime survives behind noble words & thoughts. Mind splits as ime and my noble mission, also carries inherent attributes 2000 years old in brain cells from monkey to man, great great grand fathers say 30 before each one. Words can never reveal-who this writer is who JK is who RB is not important -words as thoughts can never reveal what is to be seen directly by merging dissolving thoughts in heart without memorising.All Sages Saints give humanity same message which this writer can only try to put here what memory gives as tape recorder but not exactly what they say. There is duality of inherently cunning mind it habits to work in memory names forms names of emotions etc which split inward and outward observer & observed etc-results in conflicts division inward and outward. There is nothing like selfless service although our minds able to only start here when living in predominant domain of mind=manas clouding the moon of pure mind-body which shine and work not by mind but by the Sun Light invisible. There is Just To Be, The selfless=Self,the Being -ever Present which is self&Self awarness. To make all these short what leaders have been undergoing and noted , discussed of there actions are drama of inherent human ime seeking to move forward be it for virtue of minds set nobility OR for worldy possessions. Unless this is understood and watched day in and day out, the unwanted talks, debates, dialogs, confusion among earnest honest sincere beings the human beings would continue.Instead focus must be to Just be, the divisionless ,whole, Love, Truth,Compassion, Wisdom, Immense not seeking anything, live and act ever in bliss- Living saints example- the movement being the same

When will kejriwal understand that building a party requires a dedicated team and cannot be done by an individual alone.

Sorry, dont know much about the whole issue and didn't even read your blog, but I just thought I'd put in my "contribution" - Do watch the movie "Lincoln". Sometimes you do have to take some steps to achieve your goals that may not always be in everyone's interest. Good Luck and hope you people will not lose sight of the real goal.

Moh said...

@MG ... Watching the unfolding drama, AK abstaining from NE and his cronies doing what AK wanted all indicate that AK is more of a politician than a change maker...
As an external observer of AAP functioning without having much facts, the behavior of AK and the way events unfolded with YY and PB being removed indicate failure of LEADERSHIP of AK... Change makers take everyone along and win over even the most difficult opponents coz you cannot bring about change without the support of your team.. The fault lines are now drawn 8-11... AK sulks like a baby, Delhi is not his virasat but a huge responsibility given by people...The secret game plan of AK seems to be to Reduce the space for Cong and eventually merge with BJP... Besides naturopathy suggested by the PM, AK should go for an AUTHENTIC & TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP PROGRAM where developing TRUST is the key not running away from difficult situations...Or is he in the making of BHAGODA Part II ...

Death nail on AAP's Coffin. When friends used to tell AK is big drama i used to fight with them. Thanks thats it's out after one State ,India saved. We don't want another Jaya,Lalu,Mulyam or Maya. I learned the hard lesson Indian can never rise above self and think about country and people. So long AAP ..

Sameer Hooda said...

It is awesome to read political thought wringing online and directly from the horse's mouth. Keep it going. I want Yogendra Yadav, Prashant Bhushan and Arvind Kejriwal all to write and express themselves on their blogs directly so that the voice is loud and clear. And devoid of all the laced poison TOI and other media is up to.


Very cool, and wish you guys all the best.

Amruth said...

You are great for coming out, but you should also have voted. AAP is not built by few people in NE, it was built by volunteers and consensus should have brought before doing this step.

Navi Babu said...

Highly disappointed with recent happenings and the manner in which YY/PB are removed. All my hopes and expectations as a volunteer and donor for the party are dashed to ground. I feel cheated to have put my trust and faith in the party.

The entire drama is to deny YY & PB Rajya Sabha seat, and give it to Ashish Khaitan or Ashutosh or even Rajdeep Sardesai.

Mayank Sir We Barely Know you and some of other AAP Faces.Everyone is Criticising AK for the split but the thing is its only AK for whom we voted AAP and AAP Party is Known becoz of AK.And I must say no body will go with AAP party if there is no AK .
At Last I am Just a Commom Man .

Unknown said...

I feel the same way.

Jyoti Bhargava said...

My faith in AK and AAP's core group has dwindled after knowing that it was AK who decided he couldnt be the convenor if YY and PB are part of it. AK should remember that India needs them all. His hurried and guerrilla activism and also YY and PB's sane voices and insistence on transparency.

If this will continue volunteers will teach very strong lesson to Mr. Manish Sosidia and Mr Arvind Kejariwal.

Puneet said...

AAP party leaders can at best be described as immature leaders or foolish to the core (Excuse me for that). When whole of Delhi voted for them so wholeheartedly and they can do wonders nationally after showing their governance in Delhi, fighting like kids is the last thing expected from so called intellectual leaders. Either they are taking the people support for granted or they don't have the passion to serve the country. The party's demise is not far away. To hell with these leader's egos....

Right you are! The petty ones Ashutosh, Shetan, Marx-Lenina, Chaddha, Sisodia and AK above all have betrayed people's trust. Now the people of Delhi may well suffer for five years. Pity this petty AK. Think of the thousands a middle class man like me donated before March 2014! Shame!

Unknown said...

Mr. Gandhi, this account seems to provide some amount of clarity regarding the present situation. However, i have a single and important question. " Was the PAC sure that public removal of such important figures will yield positive political dividends?"
As a young voter based in Delhi who is not yet disillusioned with the stories revolving around the party, I would seek your prompt response.

"When you bring out only problems instead of Problems along with solutions" this is what happens. Even todays newspaper is making a total mock. I feel if people really want to keep voicing their free opinions as and how they please ...it is best to dilute the party completely and everyone start to work on their own individual capacity. Until you have one voice with keeping internal and external communications clear its best to go individual .

If AAP won't listen to its aam aadmi donors then it may have to depend on crony-capitalism for funds. If AAP won't listen to its volunteers then it may have to depend on paid workers. Sir please try to stop AAP from becoming another BJP.

Respect you , Mayank for your stand.You are keeping the democratic principles of AAP alive by practising it.Anyday, people will choose Prashant and Yogender to Arvinds cronies like Sanjay singh and others.Arvind has disappointed the volunteers who supported AAP cause they saw a ray of hope in the alternative politics that he preached.He has turned out to be more autocratic than the BJP and the Congress, what di d it take to have a dialogue if something had upset him.Let success not ho to his head, peopke can turn against him very soon.Arvind has been thoroghly disappointing and I and many tireless volunteers of AAP are regretting our investment and time spent.Disgrace.

Ashish Khetan and Ashutosh are the real culprits, they have poisoned the mind of AK, i am not happy with what is happening in AAP, the movement is going to break down because of this two fellows, they are over-smart and boisterous, they should be thrown out of AAP.

Thank you for giving us the insight. We were bombarded with bits and pieces of media bytes. Though I live in Switzerland, I have been a regular donor and have contributed with the AAP IT team during the LS Elections. Currently associated with Bombat Bengaluru. The Rift in the party which I believed represented my view has let me down. I am saddened to see the power struggle. AK said during his election campaign that it is "Shivji ki barat", means there are people from many different beliefs. Why is everything happening our in public?? Why is AAP twitter handle being used to to air AK's views? For us volunteers to make up our mind it was not AK alone. It was YY, PB, Meera, Mayank, Adarsh, Prof.Anand etc. We volunteers have to mature to the fact that all these faces are cogs in the wheel not the wheel itself. AK has disappointed by hiding and coming in open.

shihabudeen said...

our prayers are for a united AAP, where all the of you including PB, YY and AK stay united to fulfil the dream of AAP. All of them had great qualities if AK is the crusader, then YY is the master strategist while PB the teeth and hand of the organization. we humbly appeal you all to forgo the ego

This is a classical political defence "blame it on opposition" I thought AAP followers were made differently.

Thanks Mayankji for sharing this. Hope Arvind will accept his mistake and take everybody into confidence once he returns. It is very important to have decent voices in the organisation even though they are wrong sometime..

This shows the dictatorial attitude of AK which does not go well with the doctrine of AAM ADMI KA PARTY

Unknown said...

Mayank Ji

I am silent worker of AAP. I have a question for you and all PAC & NE representatives:

1.Do you have any doubts about Arvind of his capability & capacity to be convenor of AAP.

2. Do you think, AAP will be able to do better minus Arvind.

3. Do you think Arvind is creating a fuss in AAP & is no more required to be a part of AAP.

4. Do you think after becoming a CM of Delhi, Arvind have gone mad & considering himself as VVIP of AAP.

5. Do you think after the success in Delhi, Arvind is behaving like, Lalu, Nitish & Mamta & needs to ammend himself.

6.Do you think, Arvind have treated YY & PB as Manjhi of Bihar.

7. While voting, why it was 11 vs 8 and not 8 vs 11.

8. Why Bhushans did not speak forcefully before , duringm Delhi elections. you remained silent, because you accepted Arvind's leadership to win delhi elections.

sandy khara said...

I had the honor and pleasure of coordinating volunteers for both, YY's Gurgaon election and AK's South Benaras LS constituency, besides doing booth management training for Punjab candidates in Ludhiana, Sangrur and Khadoor Sahib. Like thousands of other volunteers I campaigned and contributed in every which way in Delhi Elections. In the last one year i have been out on the road for six months, away from my family and other responsibilities supporting some ideals and principles represented by people like YY and AK (or so I thought.)

I am not telling you all the above information to promote myself in any manner. I just want to know what do I tell those hundreds of volunteer friends whom I coordinated in these elections.They call me and ask me whats gone wrong with the people they epitomized. They want some answers and none are coming forth. Are we going to remain a Delhi Centric Party!!!Any dissenting voice is to be silenced!!! Where is the structure through which volunteers find a representation and have a say in the affairs of the party Or are volunteers to be simply used and discarded?
During the 49 day Delhi Government AK asked people if he should form a government. Why were the volunteers, which every so called leader proclaims are the backbone of AAP, were not consulted before this momentous decision. Ousting two respected leaders by publicly humiliating them by voting them out of PAC when they were ready to make room for AK shows the dictatorial direction AAP is headed towards like other political parties of this nation.
Seems like all our hard work was for nothing. If no amends are made soon, AAP as envisioned by founders and cherished by volunteers, will be buried by the founders and the epitaph would read "This Great political experiment had the seed of its destruction planted and nurtured by the petty egos of its founders. AAP RIP"

Anonymous said...

I think you all are damaging your party by speaking against each other. I am an AAP donor and supporter and I don't support the party for PB ,YY or you. I supported and voted for Kejriwal. During Lok Sabha elections my contribution was a lot and it all went down the drain but I believed when Kejriwal appealed again for support though this time the contribution was just one third and he did not disappoint. His team in Delhi did great work and came with a thumping majority. A political party without seats has no ground and now that you have that, why are you not letting him work in peace. To me it seems like you all want to contest elections and have a grouse against AK as he wants to concentrate on Delhi. If you take out AK I am sorry I would never contribute a paisa and never can back people like PB, YY and you as you all are damaging your own party. Who needs enemies when they have colleagues like you, PB and YY. We surely would never vote for any of you.

This Anonymous is definitely one of the conspirator or his stooge who are with present corrupt leadership. It is better to halt these opportunists elements now itself otherwise as much these people consolidate their power, they will cause immense damage to the people's cause. May be this 'Anonymous' person in this blog is anyone - Khetan, Sisodia, Sanjay Singh or that great ex-Journalist but we must remember there should be transparency. This Anonymous is as hidden as Arvind Kejriwal and his caucus hidden agenda. Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav is soul of AAP and if they are not there, this party becomes SOULLESS. When PB has not been afraid of such mighty governments of Congress and BJP, CBI or even Supreme Court, this AK gang is very small fry. PB is a ruthless fighter against injustice, human right violations etc. since last 25 years when this gang was holding cushy positions in their offices. These so called revolutionaries must amend their ways and AK also must have moral courage to face PB and YY. I was 100% sure that AK will do such things even prior to such happenings because his personality and character openly reflects. I do not know why and how AAP cadres, PB/YY/MG etc. trust this group. There is no place of idealism and sacrifice under AK leadership. Party leadership should not be given in such hands and let them be CM etc. Sorry but it is bitter and truth.

Thank you for sharing. As party volunteers we have the right to know. I hope AK can provide his perspective soon and meeting minutes are made public.

Anonymous,If you have courage make post under your name. Because I understand that you are one of caucus man or their close stooge. You have donated AK to earn money for yourself that when he will be in power, person like you will reap benefit. You were not for any idealism here. Read Mayank's blog again where he says that AK is the main conspirator. Small and crooked person like AK, Manish and Co. can not face fire like Prashant. The person who used to say that he will not use big cars, big bunglaw or lives in Kutia in Varanasi is not a simple person and is basically dishonest and dramatist and making fool innocent party worker, cadre and public and we should think seriously to get rid of shady people whoever may be or they should amend their way. Every one in UP knows that during Lok Sabha election, it was alleged that some very senior member AAP Party is distributing tickets by taking CASH and later on proxy of Sanjay Singh, that poor lady was sacked from the Party. These people have worked only just 2 years in public life and their honesty is yet to be tested because we have seen many communist party members even 15-20 years of honest public life, they became corrupt. AK, Manish, Sanjay Singh, Ashutosh, Khaitan etc. integrity must be tested, they are under public/cadre radar now.

Thank you mayank bhai. You are really brave heart. I also believe truth will be win. And this party will be work democratic way in future.

Very less time is there. If Kejriwal does not try to correct the situation then AAP will become another SP or BSP. He needs to do the following:
1. Reconstitute the PAC, remove uneducated morons from it like Sanjay Singh, Navin Jaihind. Remove chamchas like sisodia and khetan.
2. Bring back YY and PB. And make PB the Convener of the party and YY the vice president.

My Questions to you n All is that why to have fuss over governance ..which can b resolved by All AAPians themselves by creating a data structures of Volunteers n active volunteers which will bring swaraj in our party

Finally being an active volunteer since 18 months..I would be available in framing n structuring a formula called " STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES' (SOPs) for structuring of party's hierarchy , PACs, n selections criteria for candidates for fighting elections or being nominated as ministry will be on Merits....Everything will come under our SOPs designed n formulated by AAP PARIVAAR..

AK had done the drama of asking people in 2013 as he wanted to be in power but not knowing how to take U turn on his earlier statement of not taking support from Congress/BJP.Now he has full majority. He does not need volunteers for next 5 years. He only needs chamchas and he has got in plenty.
I was always pushing my self to support him as I was always skeptical about his policies and actions. I continued supporting him,though with far less vigour after Feb.,2014.The only reason that I was still supporting him because, I felt that AAP is a better alternative to others. Now I cannot continue to fool my self any longer and have decided to keep a distance from this opportunist leadership. I shall review my position,if there is change in leadership for the better.

It is your absolute right. No need to talk about it. We know what to do

I do have the answers to most of your queries.You may or may not agree. However,let me answer the last question that PB has already replied. PB threatened to expose AAP before the elections,but did not act as he wanted to put pressure on AK to act but not harm AAP.
Please do not forget that the issues have not been raised only by PB and YY,but by Admiral Ramdas.Why AK is not responding when he says that Internal Lokpal is supreme.

Kuttan said...

Thank you Mayank Ji for your courage to reveal the facts. PB is one of the most respected lawyers in the Supreme Court of India with outstanding personality. He is a philanthropist with a clean image who uses his time for the benefit of the people. I personally know him and I am trying to shape my personality like him. Everybody knows that allegation against PB and YY is planned by those who have bad intention to utilize the party for personal benefit.Most of the "YES BOSS" associates of AK joined the party after they understood that they can get benefited. They are behind the planning to remove YY and PB. After few years these "YES BOSS" associates will throw out even AK.

Now the loss is for Crores of AAP supports who are waiting for complete transformation in India.

Lets hope that the differences will be solved.

Mayank, I am reminded of Sudershan's short story "Haar ki Jeet". The story this time is very different but the essence is same.
While Baba Bharti wanted to hide Kharagsingh's truth, NE wants you to hide "its" truth, probably out of fear that if the truth comes out some of us will NEVER EVER be able to trust people who we believed were our HEROES.

Anonymous said...

Respect everyone's view.

These are my 2c and few questions if I can ask so.

1. PB dint have time for Delhi election as he was busy now he has all the time in the world for TV interviews interesting.
2. Dint SB actually supporting opponent KB during election time, very interesting.
3. Is YY bit touchy when it comes to Haryana in-charge and had already resigned if one remembers, interesting.
4. MG probably you are also bit touchy when it comes to MH as with your blogs, interesting...

What I fail to understand is when 67/3 mandate is given and you have decided that AK is CM and NC then you need to support and concentrate on ful filling the promise.

Now these 1, 2 -8 people are going to create a mockery in the name of internal democracy when the fact indicate they are pushing their own personal agenda.

Request to give a moment and join the dots it would make sense.
In-fact if we think clearly the opposite might be true. PB,SB, YY, MG... have right for their views.
If we go by their own principle it is in minority. Unless they are able to convenience the majority they need to follow what majority says.
Instead they choose to go out and try to prove a point. When needed these people half heatedly stood by side as their point was not taken and now want to scored brownie points using term as democracy etc... then they them self fail to follow?
This does not add up.

MG dont give this BS they you do for country etc... You are just doing for yourself.
Next time when something goes wrong in your family think about writing blog on that.

That is RUDE but that what one would feel when one does what you are doing.

Hakeem said...

Some people are saying debate 'indoors' and stay united outside. But they are forgetting the fact that the debate for inside the party is being crushed by people like Sisodi, Khetan, Sanjay Singh. That is why it makes sense to debate outisde. We should get away with the age old foolish worship of leader as practiced by Congress,BJP, SP, BSP, DMK and AIDMK. You need to always speak your mind and not try to keep Kejriwal happy for petty gains. Kejriwal should realize that having a inner coterie of chamchas is going to harm the party and if it continues AAP will betray the trust of lakhs of members who have worked hard for the party and the party would eventually bite the dust.

Note to Volunteers? What do you mean Mayank? Are you in even your senses? Go and ask for forgiveness before Arvind when he comes back from his treatment. Just stay quiet till then. Shame on to you backstabbers. Princess Shazia did the same thing after LS election when Arvind was in Jail. That poor guy has suffered so much.

Sir You written in your bog that 1)Arvind needs a smooth working in the PAC. So, I agreed that PB and YY may be out of PAC and take some alternate important roles.

But you didn't clarify that why you were in favor of removing both of them from PAC.

Maturity is the ability to reap without apology and not complain when things don't go well.

You act just shows you inability to be a leader.
A person who can sink his own boat how can one expect him to stand for others.

This is not your cup of tea, coffee.
Take a chill pill and keep on writing blog.

You will not even get a job forget about becoming leader if this is your attitude.

Same on you. Very disgusting backstabber.
What you are saying people will do for you. You are only doing the same for others.

Looks like paid writers of Sanjay Singh, Ashutosh and other gang members have suddenly become active on Mayank's blog and writing negatively. Well, best of luck because it does not work. 99% of the volunteers and members are against the 'inner coterie' of Kejriwalji. Hope Kejriwalji dissuades and removes the inner coterie around him who are doing more harm to the party than the opposition. Listen to the dissenting voices and try to set things right in the party.

Urgent meeting of Volunteers should be called and they should elect NE & PAC. Swaraj should start from Party itself.

Ask u r self if u bad mouth u r family. If u r then u probably r not a family member if not then u r need to question u r self before questioning other.

If any want to give a though please think just donating and commenting as you are King and other are servent to obey your orders is Not fair.

Probably one should be good listener.
Most would probably regret what they said after some time.

I am sure people who support Mayank, YY, PN, SB,Binni, Ilmi and others would think twice keeping them as their servant let alone leading others not Deming in anyway however it might be a fact.

Just a thought...

Come on Mr.Anonymous you are playing dirty politics just like the inner coterie of Kejriwalji. Who had crticised who? Dirty politics have been played by Sisodia, Khetan, Navin Jaihind, Phoolka, Pandey and Sanjay Singh. They have humiliated Prashant and Yogendra. Please dont destroy AAP which is the outcome of effirts of lakhs of dedicated volunteers. I am waiting for the statement of Kejriwalji on this issue and I suppose it is in his hands to make or BREAK the party. I still hope the best will come out.

If Kejriwal does not correct the situation by listening to internal Lokpal what is left for the people who had high hopes on anti-corruption movement? If the cronies of Kejriwal themselves are morally and socially corrupt what is the difference between them and other parties? If Kejriwal does not correct the situation by apoligizing to Prashant and Yogendra and dismantling his inner coterie, then I suggest either he should be kicked out of party or a new party be made which does not have lust for power by compromising the ideals of anti-corruption.

Free country. If YY and PB are so true then no one is stopping them to open a new party.

To win the war u need AK after winning or loosing the war you want AK to listen to u.

Not happening. Hope you implement that same in u r family first before going on advising others.

lagta hai kuch logo ko dusro ke ghar ki chinta bahut hai apne ghar ko pehle sambhalo miya. AK jo kaam kartha hai uska 1% bhi agar aap kaam karlo phir bolna

Where you suppose to talk you dint talk. Instead you abstained from voting.

Does not add up what you say dude.
You got to do better than that if you want to make an issue out of it.

If one keeps on apply you logic one day you will say "AK should ask you before he cuts his hair"

Help AK implement a better model in delhi for which people have given mandate. Then go to other places how that will help other states.

Chill bhai kaam ke uper dyan do agar AAP ko support karno ho tho.

Kaam Koro bhai Kaam.

There is supposed to be difference between AAP and other Parties when it comes to Morality, Corruption issues, Politics, Administration. There are a minority of people who in their lives did not indulge in corruption nor made compromises. And those people are still suffering to sustain their families, unable to afford a own home AND frequent transfers because the administration does not want such HONEST people BUT the ones who make compromises and indulge in corruption morally and financially. AAP was the LAST HOPE to SAVE OUR COUNTRY. BUT seeing Kejriwal himself MORALLY CORRUPT as proved by the TAPES is very SHAMEFUL. For people who say IT IS OK need to know that such political game does not last long. And there is no difference between Kejriwal and others if he continues his dirty politics. Still there is hope if he apologizes to PB and YY and reconstitutes the PAC and moves away from ONE MAN party to a broad based leadership. And it is high time his cronies are kicked out of the party as we had enough of KING and SUBJECTS mindset in political parties.

If someone want to smack his head even after people telling "allzzwell". Either he is acting like spoil sports or he is really stupid.

what one can do "people would say please sir do what you feel"

And as per recent survey indicate majority agree for removal or anyone who gets a bad name for party and AAP should set example by removing YY, PB, Mayank and anyone from the party, so that AAP does not turn into another JD of 1970's.

If one who betrays one's country, a cause, or a trust is called a traitor, Would it be fair to ask if you can Justify whay one should not ask such question to you Mr Mayak.

From looks of it in last one year you have spend time to write two blogs and that to against AAP citing excuses.

Is ther anything good you have done this year for AAP if so is there a reason why you felt those were not important enough to make into your blog?

Hakeem said...

Yes thats a phenomenon we see everywhere and is perpetuated by CONTROL FREAKS. Every organization is made by hard work of some people and after it is successful opportunists come and take it over and ultimately ruin it. Best of Luck to you. Myself and numerous other members are waiting for a statement from Kejriwal and that would determine whether the party would be run by Kejriwal's slaves or equal partners. No one will insist on anything, let the majority decide what they want to make of AAP. YES MAJORITY is with the INNER COTERIE OF KEJRIWAL so let them decide whether to destroy the founding ideals of AAP and make it another Laloo, Mayawati, Jayalalitha party. What ever they want to do let them do. Best of luck to Sisodia,Khetan, Navin, Sanjay Singh, Pandey, Ashutosh who have ushered in a corrupt, vengeful goonda culture in the party. And hatsoff to their supporters like you.

Thanks Mayank Ji
Friends ! we must not take hasty decisions as have been taken in PAC. We must wait sometime to get all the explanations from both sides. Remember, AAP is not made in a single day and a lot of people have contributed to bring it to its current position. We must also remeber that we are not herd of goats of AK, YY, PB or even Mayank Ji. Let everybody say whatever he has to say. Only then analyze and sort for facts. Then only decide. We must support the side which is following AAP principles. Whatever has been done with YY & PB is really very unfortunate. In my opinion, both of them are important pillars of the party. But hasty decision will make us to regret again. It seems that YY, PB are on correct path but a chance must be given to AK and group to put their reasons to members and volunteers. We have not listened anything from AK yet. We must force him to explain all these things in details. But we must stand united and support the group who believes in SWARAJ and follow it's principles as we members are not power hungry bunch and we wish a better India. This way, I am sure, we can keep the principles for which we have supported APP.

Its a lost case. Shut down this blog. If you had the guts you should have stood up against the goons and bouncers in NE.

Thanks for sharing the info.. I think if you feel strongly for anything you must do it..so you were right in what you did.

I would only like to know the other side of things.. How to imagine Arvind and Manish to be working like this? ..Is it Ego.. is it revenge? ..YY and PB are they saints? All this makes Arvind a villain.. so I wonder is he really.. can u please share if you find it? ..the real reason.. and Why this spat was not solved internally? ..Why YY and PB had to hold press conference as they had threatened earlier? ..why go public? ..was party forum not enough?
Is it just the thought that its going to be one man party that is driving the rivals? ..I think its wrong.. when somebody has won the party a major election it fought..why instead of appreciating they want him to resign.. why its not done next year (the proposal to remove Arvind as convenor) ..why no cooling period.. was this necessary now? ..when things began to settle down.. Why AAP has to be in news always for the wrong reasons??
I am really sad.. Whatever YY and PB has done has harmed the party immensely.. I don't think the approach taken by them to remove Arvind was right.. anyways there should be a "karya-kaal" for convenor ..he has to anyways quit after that.. why such hurry?
