Note to volunteers-NE on 4th March

Thanks

Nautanki party no offence

I have been a regular donor of the party (anyone can check for my name in the donor list), and I am deeply saddened about what is going on in this party. It is surely straying from its path and anyone who brings the truth, is shown the door. It surely shows the Admiral Ramdas was correct about groups in the party. I have been let down. I never elected anyone from the PAC or NE. My voice and thousands of other patriotic voices were never heard. What a tragedy.

Thank you sir. But what has transpired, and details given by you has made thousands of AAP volunteers to regret the decision of supporting AAP. 🙁

You did all right thing sir.
Sadly our leaders could not rise above differences for sake of our nation.
Very sad day for me, my brother and millions of volunteers like me.

Thank you Sir, You did nothing wrong. Our brains was craving inside with sleepless nights what actually happened..!

U did the right things. This will help prevent further damage to the party by clearing confusion and speculation. Party should be thankful to you.

It just hurts when AAP is becoming like any other political party. We trusted all of u but u broke our trust.
Hats OFF to you Mayank sir.
Will not support a party anymore for sure.How come I will support a party which does not care abt volunteers feelins and talk abt we are volunteer based party.

So its ego of Arvind …AK is cheater and his intention is to keep higher post with him only..AK can work with chamcha only like manish, ashsish and ashutosh…

First let me congratulate u on ur courage. Secondly it gives me lots of heart that there people like u still in AAP who listen to their conscience. Mayank, I voted for AAP all 3 times it fought elections. I am emotionally attached with party but the way PB & YY were abused even by office bearers of AAP like Sudesh and Ankit Lal and that too in public has broken that emotional bond that AAP is MY part!. I understand AK's aversion for PB and I also appreciate that PB's extreme idealism and leftist tendencies can be hindrance in party's growth. But what about YY! If he was seeking a bigger role for himself, what is wrong with that? That he is looking for a bigger role for himself is the problem or it would come at a bit of downsizing of AK, that is the problem? New leaders emerging party other then AK is good sign!! isn't it? AK does not want expansion outside Delhi is good for the party or he sees such a move while he is busy as CM in Delhi, detrimental to his own position in party? To me YY is a pillar of party. One of the reasons for supporting AAP for more discerning supporters like me. He has a major impact on the Intelligentsia and media of the country. He is easily the best spokesperson any party in the country can have. The very best! If AK think only he has mass base, he is wrong. YY has his base as well. All said and done, AK has shown that he does not have stomach to take everyone along. He may be a charismatic campaigner but is he leader in true sense? No! Today the famous words of AK "MAIN BAHUT CHHOTA AADMI HUN JI, MERI KOI AUKAAT NAHIN HAI" sound fake and hollow.

You cleared confusion Sir!!
Wasted money in donation, Time in campaign. Even closed my business to give more time in AAP's activity.Oh God!! What I did!!

Thanks for speaking up. This is blatantly unfair. I agree Arvind has done the most for the party, but the "my way or high way" approach is totally against the founding principles of the party. What happened to Swaraj? Shameful compromise by Arvind. Moreover, the questions raised by PB and YY (PB in particular) are extremely important. To me it sounds like Arvind wants to hide some uncomfortable truths (funding, candidate selection) under carpet. I was one of the most ardant fans of Arvind, today my respect for him has gone down. He can still correct his mistakes but I very much doubt it.

Why can't Arvind work with his colleagues Yogendra and Prashant at the PAC? Is the Arvind the onwer of AAP? You all should have accepted Arvind's resignation for having such unreasonable demands.

And thanks a lot for sharing. Commitment to transparency is more important than commitment to any leader or party.

Thanks a lot sir for the first hand information, v all were dying to know. At least u adhered by the principles of transparency. Leafers like u r the only hope for us to stay on with AAP. It would've been much dignified the solution to the crisis of dissolving the PAcC rather than the humiliation of oust by voting. A very wrong massage of rift , gone to the volunteers. I hv seen many jusy opted out of AAP overnight.Regards.

Thank you Mayank for remaining true to your conviction and fundamental principles of AAP. If transparency is trampled upon, then what will be the difference between AAP & other parties.My only fear is that after such unprecedented public support AAP must not go a High Command type way and AK should not be surrounded by some kind of caucus like parasites who keep him away from people and ground realities. Remember Rajiv Gandhi getting 412 seats in LS and what happened next. The so called new netas should be careful with their utterances.

thank u mayank sir………expansion of AAP needed…..

Thank you. It is individual voices that speak out that matter the most. I don't see why the old PAC, if it truly didn't believe in YY and PB's proposals, couldn't have voted against those proposals. In a democracy, you vote against the minority, you don't kick them out!! Shame on AK, who has been my hero for ages, for doing this and then not even offering any explanation, and congrats to you for holding on to your conscience and publishing this information.

Sir you have done a good job within your limited capacity.expulsion of prashant and yogendra may be right or wrong but PAC has not accepted resignation of Kejareewal was unjustified. If he had tendered his resignation seriously it should have been accepted . By accepting his resignation PAC would have been emerged as neutral body .

s k khandelwal

AAP handled situation very badly. AK GOT GHAMAND,NEHRU WAS TRUE DEMOCRAT, HE INCLUDED AMBEDKAR (HIS OPPENENT) AS HIS MINISTER AND WORKED WITH HIM. SO WATS THE PROBLEM OF AK TO WORK WITH FELLOW PARTY WORKERS PB AND YY. VERY RUDE N IMMATURE FELLOW AK

जिसे पद और पैसे की भूख है वो आज पार्टी छोडकर चला जाये ऐसी घोषणा करनेवाला सख्स कैसे दो पदों पर रहकर अपनी बात सही साबित कर सकता है.उन्हें सामान्य पार्टी सदस्य के रूप में काम करके लोगों के सामने आदर्श स्थापित करना चाहिए. एकदम सामान्य पार्टी सदस्य को संयोजक बनाकर क्यों नही इस तूफ़ान को शांत करना चाहिए?

Thanks Mayank ji for speaking up.There was no need to publicly humiliate top leaders when they themselves were ready to resign from PAC.The few NE members went against volunteers sentiments, which is not good for the party in the long run.Going by the attitude shown by few members, Mayank bhai i fear you may also face their wrath for speaking up. AAP needs magnanimity if we really want to bring the change, otherwise this vendetta politics will finish the hope we all have from the party.

Mayank…Fear is for the fearful…There is never fear for truthful….This was a set decision and hence kejri went on his naturopathy …He is king maker now…He was the power to make or break any MLA…so of course the Yes Sir…had the sway….Everyone ridiculed those who left..can you imagine how suffocated they were in this Boys club ….Why did ANNA not believe in Kejri…He knew the real Kejri inside….Just the poor faithful Volunteer's did not…

I was giving benefit of doubt to AK till y'day, we were suspecting coterie was misguiding him but wat unfolded y'day revealed who was behind all this… Chinese used to say to the word at time of 1962 war, those who don't agree with us, aren't our friends…saw that happening y'day…unfortunate

I have great respect for Yogendra Yadav, and the way he has been shunted out is really bad. It seems that senior leaders cannot even voice their opinions without repurcussions from the High Command of Arvind Kejriwal. This is the Swaraj he always was talking about. AK has lost the moral right to question the BJP and Congress on the High Command Culture. It seems Power has corrupted him.

Why does he lecture about arrogance if he does not practise what he preaches.

I also had great respect or Kumar Vishwas and felt he would have the guts to standup to this, but he also seems to be biased.

So many of us put so much effort to get this party to power, we did not get AK to power, but AAP. Now, it seems its about AK and not about AAP anymore.

Appreciable!

Dear Mayankji, You are one of the backbones of AAP idealogy alongwith YY, PB and hundreds of others, who have kept AAP on its toes. Its very sad to see that some immature elements within NE of AAP have chosen to dig its own grave. The respect and honour of AAP was that it had such selfless leaders who were really there to keep the party from becoming a one-man cult.
Now who will keep a check on what AAP does for Delhi? The Opposition? Who? I am really sad that it has reached this day.

Feeling Sad.. But Still Believe We r here to change politics. And feeling Changes r happening in Politics and political Parties.

strongly believe, Arvind Kejriwal being not 'comfortable' working with Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan can never be accepted as reasons for ousting the two of them from the Political Affairs Committee.. this is the lowest point of AAP ever and a shame.. 

Dear Mayank Gandhi,

Truly I am not AAP supported and above this I am indian. As Indian I salute you for your brave action.

All the best.
Raju

Sir, thanks for courage and transparency you've shown. This is what AAP should have done. One important question that comes to my mind: what were the irregularities that PB raised during elections and what harmful acts did YY do?

Since when did AAP become a party of yes people!! I thought it was a party with a difference.. Difference in opinion cannot be the reason to remove people from any committee.. this is worse thn other parties.. N in such a manner, when the world is watching, it must've been so embarrassing for them.. Mind you yogendraji n prashantji are highly esteemed people, you'll can't insult them like this..
I used to argue head on with bjp supporters knowing the party m supporting is miles ahead.. But now I'll lose that confidence coz they will question me right back asking look at your own party, at least we r better than you'll.. #UnhappySupporters

I quit. To hell with you and AAP and your Kejru.

Thank you Mayank Sir. I din't understood 2 things :
1) Arvind needs a smooth working in the PAC.
Is it means he need no opposition.
2) Arvind can't work if YY and PB is present.
If Arvind can't work with YY and PB then it is his(Arvind's) problem not YY and PB problem.

AAP इतना खुश …. जैसे तीतर के हाथ लग गई बटेर !

पार्टी में स्वराज का मतलब हर सीमा को लांघने की आजादी नही है. इन दोनों ने हर सीमा को लांघा होगा. परदे के पीछे की कहानी हमें क्या मालूम.बार बार इस्तीफे की धमकी और प्रेस कांफ्रेस करने की बात ब्लेकमेलिंग जैसी ही थी.

Mayank I appreciate your step. It may be difficult for Arvind now who is a VIP now and Prashant Ji and Yogendra Yadav have nothing to lose.

Thanks a lot. But no talks about lack of internal democracy in party happened?
Its sad when personalities and ego become more important than task at hand.

It was evident That Ak was on path to becoming supreme leader. PB was always behind the exposes Aap built on… people like manish ashotosh and sanjay are chamchas and will destroy aap

http://blogs.jinishans.com/2015/03/kejriwal-as-hitler-on-prashant-yogendra.html

It's no more AAP but AKP 🙁

Why can't this decision to be taken by the Volunteers, May i know why sanjay singh, dalip pandey, ashutosh is in the party … they are just damaging the image of the party…. If this party beleives even a single percent in swaraj then revert this decision.. and do a referendum among the volunteers.. else we have to enforce right to recall which was one of the ethics of the party …

Thanks Mayank Bhai for taking this bold step for releasing these details. Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan were two of the most strong personalities who has an independent, free and unbiased thinking process. These two people has always looked to mentain their own self respect, gravity and moral grounds irrespective of what popular opinion said. Without these two, surely the PAC will look completely off color. Even though YY and PB has left the PAC, questions raised by them will stay their infront of Arvind and Co. Party and will surely put a huge dent in the confidence of millions of well wishers of AAP. Sad day for every one.

Liked your observation on what AK used to do after meetings with Sibal. He is clearly a dual personality. What did YY say to that reporter that was not known to the world?

Secondly, this happened in Aug, 2014. Surely Arvind knew of it. Why then did he keep quiet, use YY fully till the Delhi elections and got the tapes released now? Gross dishonesty and utter selfishness.

AK is surely not trustworthy and comes out as a very petty person. i too had high hopes from him during the IAC days. But that was….. then !

Frankly, the AAP model is good only for a small privately owned Trust / Organisation. Not for governance or politics.

So what next? Mayank Gandhi sacked for anti-party activities? This party seems to be on self-destruct mode and imploding sooner than i thought

This is anarchy. Arvind Kejrival has double faces who cant stand the genuine criticism. You are not always right Kejriwal. You should have a heart to listen to the criticism. Thanks Mayank for proving we were right judging AK. If he does not change himself, AAP will be history.

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks

because of people like you we still have believe in AAP…. Hope you are not the next to be removed

AK created his Team in AAP to get majority in making his decision.
AK should think that, this Team is Sweet Knife and He must support Truth in AAP

Yeh Shama jalti rahe jo milke jalayi thi humne ,
Meri Manzil yehi aur Yehi thikana tha
Main Khaak hua toh kya
Main aaj bhi Parwana hun jo kal tak Parwaana tha.

Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan are the main ideologists of the party. Arvind Kejriwal is the face of the party. He want to reform the system but he needs people like Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan for showing him path. Some childish people are surrounding Arvind Kejriwal at this point of time which may be fatal in future for the party.
Aam Aadmi Party is not the property of Arvind Kejriwal. It belongs to every citizen of India who saw a hope in AAP for changing the System of India. If this hope dies, Arvind Kejriwal will be a bigger culprit than A Raja, Kalmadi, etc.

thank you for putting the facts on the table. AAP seems to be emerging as a delhi centric party . Arwind does not have the ability to work with opposing ideas which in my mind is not ideal for a leader . its a great quality for a dictator. in a democracy we have to be able to work with conflicting ideas. AAP has fallen short of what it preached to India for the last 3 years…. sad !!!

What do we expect when guys from medua joins the party. These journalism is 99.99% corrupt. They earn in thousands and their assets are in millions. Arvind's best buddies and advisors are ashish khaitan and Ashutosh. This was expected.

Thank you!
Mr. Kejriwal, Please come out of your loyal people & try to listen your critics.

कल पहली बार आम आदमी पार्टी को हारते हुए देखा… मैं कभी भी योगेन्द्र या प्रशांत का मुद्दाविहीन समर्थक नहीं रहा और ना ही मैं या हम जैसे लाखों लोग अरविन्द के मफलर से जुड़े थे, हम जुड़े थे तो उन सिद्धान्तों से जो इस खोखली राजनितिक व्यवस्था के खिलाफ थी। हम जुड़े थे उस खुली व्यवस्था की परिकल्पना से जिसमे हर व्यक्ति की जबावदेही तय होनी थी और किसी भी फैसले में जनतांत्रिक राय एवं दूरदर्शिता का समन्वय होना था। हम जुड़े थे तथाकथित राजनैतिक बाहुबलियों के खिलाफ बोलने और सवाल करने की आजादी के लिए। दुर्भाग्य, इस दर्शन के साथ उठी आम आदमी पार्टी आज खुद भस्मासुर हो गयी। दुःख है उन सब उम्मीदों के लिए जो इस दल से जुड़ी रही… दुःख है उन सब पलों के लिए जिसमें इस खोखली विचारधरा का समर्थन किया गया…

You should have voted in favor on YY rather than standing away

AAP is not Keriwal's fiefdom nor is this a club of the boys who seem to enjoying their power by just being close to him.It is a party of people like us who have placed our faith in ideals of democracy,no lust for power,ethics and morality in public life,transparency,freedom of speech and expression.
Kejriwal has demonstrated that he does not believe in all of the above. Not only that,he also remote- controls and engages in Machaivellian tactics even when he is not physically present.
What does he want to show to all of us?He is a saint,he is pained and wants to be awayand out of this muck?He finalised the script before he left Delhi and saw to it that it is not altered in any way by not allowing another and more sensible course of action.
KEJRIWAL IS ACCOUNTABLE TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS EVEN IF HE IS BEING WORSHIPPED BY HIS BACKROOM BOYS
WE WANT AN EXPLAINATION.

Thanks Mayanks I is sad that AK could not handle dissent in the PAC. The majority expelling minority is no democracy. Sridhar

thanx a lot mayankji for ur courage to speak d truth…now its clear in mind that no democratic party exist in this country nor can any such party b created….we indians come to politics just for our vested interests…a hope was created by aap but it has shattered…now i leave preaching for this party n its false ideology of…1.swaraj….2.referendum …3.clean n honest party…4.party with no high command culture…5.party of aam aadmi(common citizen)……the delusion has ended…thank u very much….mr.arvind kejriwal n associates….good bye.

Dear Mayank Gandhi,

For the first time, AK broke my heart and trust. He now seems to be playing politics of seasoned politicians. He was saying don't be arrogant and all, but he proved to be more arrogant than others. I didn't feel anything when Anna didn't support AAP, when Bedi left AK, when Shazia left etc., but when PB and JJ were ousted, I feel betrayed. I like AK because he brought good people together and started a revolution. I see him as a team of very good people. Without the team, he can't win hearts of millions of volunteers. No doubt he might govern Delhi good and corruption free, but with his present working style, much sooner than later AAP will become an other (B)SP. Its ok if AAP loses elections, but it should remain as a party having very high ethical standards, a robust system to deal with wrongdoing within and outside.

You are right in saying that the party is built on volunteer base and volunteers have every right to know what happened. The party should release the meeting minutes immediately.

I deeply appreciate you for posting this blog.

Best Regards,
Chandra.

In my opinion AAP will not last long or even if it does, it will eventually become more like Congress or any other party in India. AK is power hungry and will not spare anyone who goes against his views. I see a big similarity with Mamta Banerjee.

I read a literary novel written by Srilal Shukla in 1967 'Raag Darbaari' and there is a village where corruption was shown in independent India. The character of Vaid ji just like Arvind, character of Khanna Master is like YY and PB and people like you are Ghanshaym…Its pity that people put so much of faith in AAP.Its better to make existing party corruption free by joining them and removing the evil. Jai Hind

Thanks , opening your heart for truth & nothing but truth. kejri might have realized thet #swaraj cannot be implemented in india . But I have trust it might take long time & effort to achieve but is the only for india.
We in Belagavi continue to implement grass root democracy & need your help off course yogendra & pradhant bhushan. . jai Hind

सही कथन उचित सवाल।

Thanks Mayankji, I trusted two leaders in recent politics- first Nitish kr. and then Arbind Kej. But both disappointed me extremely for their personal glorification and due to mental corruption

AK's swearing in speech spoke of AHANKAAR and how it can destroy the faith and trust of the people.I think he does not know that he himself suffers from it the most and it is evident to us now.
There is a way to treat difference of opinion and it is not by banishing the people who differ
MR. AK.TIME TO INTROSPECT

Feel sad at the sorry state of affairs. By skipping the NE meet, Arvind Kejriwal taken an easy way out to dissociate himself from this.He was, is and will always be a bhagoda.

Thank god I am not from Delhi and I didn't vote for aap. N I regret my ls vote for aap. All Indians are same. No man is great enough to change this country. Kejriwal shamed every person who supported him. Lesson learnt. NOTA from now on

That's why Anna hate politics.. looks Arvind will make it same as another political party… feeling shame after supporting AAP since 2011

I am an NRI in the US. I supported AAP financially. I campaigned for the party online. I made phone calls to India. I am now very saddened.

Please understand that we did not support AAP for its 'efficiency'. We did not support it to grab power. We supported it because it had people like Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav who gave hope for politics with principles.

Now, even if PB and YY stay with AAP, we know the culture has changed, the goals have changed. It is not the party I supported. Extremely saddened. I don't want to work hard and offer financial support to create 'just another party'. Free bijli and pani was not the attraction.

NE members supporting this gruesome ouster, or kejriwal himself should cough up some reply to this write up of gandhi defending their stand, otherwise why one remain treating AAP as party with a difference?

Thank you mayank. You had the decency to abstain from something that didn't believe in. Disgraceful behavious from the entire Khaitan, Ashutosh , Pandey and mainly Ak. Only A.K's Chelas can survive in this Party. Journalist gang from Delhi behaved like street dogs Tweting and What Not. I contributed to this Party. I regret. Will never support AAP aain as long as AK is incharge.

ye sab BJP walon ki chaal hai..

What happened in AAP is not a good sign. I hope most of the AAP volunteers would like a solution without any removal. If it is not there then this party can not be survived. Within a few days this happen very sad. It shows now Ahankar generated and selflessness gone.

Abrupt decisions always have far reaching effect ! Kejri hasn't learnt his lessons.

Ask/Dare your party to video record every meeting and share with volunteers.
They will never do.

AK wanted a public debate with Kiran Bedi. Why is he so averse to debating with YY and PB? Is it that he can prove his worth only when the opponent is weak?

As per AAP constitution " one man – one post" is the basic principle. Is AK above this basic tenets of the AAP constitution?
What happened yesterday is just a replica of congress style operation. Why NE did not discuss points raised by YY & PB?
As some one said ealrier, If Nehru can work with Patel, Ambedkar, why not AK? Nehru, Patel, Ambedkar all had differences of opinion with each other, but when it came to Nation they all stood together. Where is swaraj proclaimed so loudly by AK?
Differences of opinion, discussion are back bone of democratic setup. IF we want only yes man around us, we are going downhill, not up
Very very sad day for India, AAP. Iam disillusioned

अरविंद जी से अपेक्षा नही थि… खाली गांधीजीका नाम लेते हॆ . गांधीजीका विचार तो काही दिखाई नाही देता . अहंकार इसिको केहेते हॆ अरविंदजी….

If they are removed because they shared letter with media ..than why not Manish Sisodia and why there is no disciplinary action against Dilip Pandey , Sanjay Singh & Ashutosh etc..

I voted for Mr. Gandhi in the LS elections, and I am proud of him. Kejriwal wasted my donations of thousands of Rupees in fighting on 400 seats, which he lost. I want my money back.

K. Mankodi

What kind of utter nonsensical justification to this madness from NE. Do u know how AAP promoted itself different from other parties? Go read from the website abt high command culture.

Good.
Anyway it was concern of AAP and AAP has deal it in AAP way only. My best luck to all of you, for running Delhi in a uncorrupt way, for another 5 years.
The biggest challenge for you guys are remaining uncorrupt face, legally. Beware of good and bad people around you.

"Absence of Communication leads to suspicion". Thank u for making things clear.

1 it was all about varchasv
2 timing and strategy was perfect on yy and pb's part as nobody could dare confront ak after say 2 years from now
3 11/9(i am considering your vote in yy and pb's favour) suggests there is no clear winner
4 i did not vote or was a supporter of aap but after delhi results i started believing like billions in the country who are fed up of the conventional politics which is all about the business of investing huge money to win and afterwards make insane profits by each and every means
5 aap needs each and every resources .
6 history is there to learn. Do not repeat 1977
7 swallow the punches. Both of you are guilty at certain levels
8 i am sure neither ak nor yy and pb but bjp is the happiest by the proceedings.do not give bjp a chance to floor you
9 what change would you bring to delhi if you can not change yourself and act or even look different from the traditional parties
10 my advice swallow your pride smile forget shake hands and buckle up for upcoming challenges. Remember traditional parties can not match you in any field be it ethics motive conscience or anything so they will drag you to there level and finish you handsdown .they are waiting for you to slip so put your best foot forward
At last to all of you if you are going to indulge in power politics remember your own words

Mayank Sir, if you have been in so much love with values you should have voted in favor or against what ever your conscience said. This blog only show you are afraid of being removed next. No one deny today AAP stands only because of AK and if he is thinking some other he must be right.

Do not make drama and malign AAP, if you like you can leave and form other party.

Dear Mayank, I believe that it's high time when you, PB and YY should start reinstating founding principles of AAP through media. It will help people and party members to understand what has gone wrong.

Amd your refrence with Sibal talk is also stands null as meeting with Kapil was about a public representative and government of India, while NE meeting is party internal working; so your comign loud is showing your frustation only.

Very disappointing and equally disgusting. YY and PB are human and there are likely be rough edges to their personalities. This applies equally to AK, who in spite of all he has achieved can not claim he is flawless. YY and PB are not propped up leaders but eminent men in their own right. They have abilities and qualities that really complement the genius of Arvind.It is a basic requirement of collaboration at work and democracy that one should have no hassles to sit and work with a colleague whom he may not necessarily like or happens to have differences. AK could have stopped these from happening. He didn't and one can condone that as an error of omission to do the right thing. But later accounts suggest that he actually orchestrated the proceedings from behind the scene. That is willful commission of wrong doing. He has led to loss of faith not in himself but also in AAP and the idea of alternative and clean politics. Very Very Sad day for India.

We have come together for better India in terms of better governance, transparency , corruption free, accountability , equality etc. Prashant Bhushan , Yogendra Yadav and colleagues have raised very important points which must be addressed without which AAP would be no difference with the existing Political parties of India. We have dreamed and worked, donated directly or indirectly for not this AAP.
Volunteers of AAP across the world kept saying, stay united but left unheard. Why was voice of volunteers not heard at all?
We are not AndhBhakt , if people those are raising important issues would be shown doors, hope ordinary people like me would also show AAP door.
I request you and other members please resolve the issues rather than shunting out People like Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav.
We completely disagree to yesterday decision and hope for the Good news.
Let us build up better India.
Thank you.

All this mayank mythology is only helping Congress which got in depression as national fight was going to be between BJP and AAP in 2019 and result was shown in delhi election congress going to 0. and all who are showing sympahty to Mayank I can be sure are anti AAP or congress supporter.

It shows that some people in Delhi love power and they do not love those responsible them to get this power!
A Gandhian should leave such party. Are you a real Gandhian? Only Gujarati Gandhi (MK) could give honest and selfless leadership. In present times, you may find many who follow Gandhi, but when times come, they renounce the Gandhian principles to stick to power. A good Gandhian should not be with those who do not respect true criticism.

Thanks Mayank.

Shame on chamcha's of Kejriwal for letting the AaP supporters down. I have been regular donor to Aam Aadmi party.

I wish reconciliation happens quickly in best interest of party and the country.

Won't contribute funds to AAP till their expulsion is revoked.

Thank u Mayank. We in Bengal are closely following these developments and are heartbroken.AAP is finally in the hands of some powerpimps. Dont worry PB will give u a hard time in the court.Then it will be impossible to avert a face off.

By running away and hiding and with dictum using mobile phone, AK has cheated all AAP volunteers who wish to give all what they have for noble cause they believe in. All this courage comes from new ways to secure fund and power to run party.It seems party and AK no more need AAM adhvi volunteers, but rich people who can contribute money to contest and win elections..

AK has shattered volunteers dream by not just unable to accommodate other views but booting them out.AK is chasing illusion. Never come back asking sorry ,you find your self standing behind congress in people choice.Does AK has courage to answer volunteers question?

NO one can deny people voted for AK in delhi and also in LS only for name of AK. those who are latering truth and want to gain power and become haryana CM and other who is writing blog was looking to become maharastra CM. should think again and support AK.

Look Gentlemen, we, voters have selected you guys to do some good work and not be fight amongst you for the seat. If you falter this time, then you should not even think of contesting the elections again. This is Janta's faith in you so pls maintain this and resolve your differences in closed doors.

YY and PB were removed for conspiring against the party and its leadership. those congress supporter who are hiting AAP and supporting Mayank, show some courage put your real intention. AAP is united with AK.

people like Mayank are weakening party and if have some courage they form a party show how much real support they carry.

Whatever happened is saddening. I personally think we need YY and PB kind of people in PAC and everywhere where questions needs to be asked. Thanks Mayank for coming out otherwise we volunteers wldn't have known what has happened in NE.
As a AAP supporter, volunteer and donor I want all future meetings to be hold in public and not behind the towering doors of a farm house.

Now it appears to be something beyond Chanda and Selection of Candidates. AK is playing in the hands of ghost companies who funded the election.

Dear Mayank – I appreciate your standing in this regard. Having said you should have casted your mandate for or against YY/PB. Yoy make your self abstain from your duty, but completely declared whatever happened in the meeting and voting in writing and posted onpublic domain. This is unprecedented.

I too not agreeing of removal of PB / YY publicaly when they have agreed for not contesting if re and fair election takes place. Here in this part Arvind / Manish both senior members are absolute wrong.

Suggestion – dissolve PAC and NE immediately. Form a Central Standing Committee including all senior and founder members headed by Arvind or Yogendra Yadav and anoher State Standing Committe headed by respective states founder snd snior member.

Thi will end all ambiquities.

Mayank, Salute your braveness in coming out with the facts.

AK – This is the beginning of your end !!!

From:
The Honest Warrior

Sir, as the Sanskrit adage goes, Truth protects the Truthful (Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah). Unfortunately, I think the rot began way back after the first Delhi election that AAP participated in. At that time itself Prashant Bhushan had made the case for standing by the mandate, which was for AAP to sit in the opposition, and to support the BJP on issues. This was the honest reading of that split mandate with advantage BJP. But his views did not find currency in the party.

Subsequently, several individuals and instances revealed the autocratic mindset of Arvind Kejriwal, but not enough was done to curb his clout and make the party paramount. This again showed a lack of allegiance to truth.

However, if truth above all is indeed your philosophy and your party's, this is a great moment to do a complete overhaul of the thinking and mindset.

I have been a volunteer in AAP NRI chapters from the beginning.What you are seeing is nothing new.We went through exactly the same Many times over even when we were only a handful.

What Helped us:
**************

1)Time : Give it Time. Over Time people will be able to see things in Right perspective.

2)Most successful and Active volunteer should be given upper hand.So in this case AK should be given upper hand.

Comments :

1)Arvindji has done a True Bhagoda by running away to Bangalore.His offer of Resignation now seems Hypocritical from what you say.

2)Prashantji and Yogendra Yadav should win elections and prove their practicality.

3)Highly appreciate the passion of
Ashish, Pandey, Ashutosh etc but they have to prove their Public Facing skills.

4)And you have to prove your Crisis management and Negotiation Skills instead of the kid shouting 'nange maharaj'

5)and we volunteers should first learn to speak up and demand accountability and transperancy within the party before dreaming of reducing corruption in India.

it is nothing but power. jo sir chad kar bolta hai . AAP ki vichar dhara bahut acchi hai . Isliye janta ne pasand kiya lekin wahi buraiyan isme aane bali hain to wo din door nahi jab AAp ko poonchhne wala nahi hoga .jaisa ki congress ka hua.

You should NOT have abstained.

Thanks MG. I am not a volunteer but I have been voting for AAP and more importantly have been a positive voice in my surrounding for promotion of AAP. Hush hush details available yesterday made me very uncomfortable. Details given by you, if true, speaks of unreasonable treatment to YY and PB on behest of AK. Is he really becoming AKxx which kills those not accepting a particular thought process? Time will only tell. We still hope, AK will move one step forward and embrace one time assets of party. Both YY and PB are priceless in their domain. It is prudent not to loose them.

Mayankji, I commend you for taking a stand against the irrational behaviour of some AAP leaders and for writing this piece. Congratulations! I am quite hopeful that the flow of this new volunteer energy that AAP has tapped till now, will guide the future course of action with wisdom and sheer momentum. It is time to recollect what Arvind has said repeatedly – "Arvind is not important, but the cause 'transparent and honest politics' – is important". I believe the momentum will back the cause and not the leader acting as a silent spectator. Am proud of the AAP community for standing up and showing that it is a party with a difference. To the best of my knowledge, never before have members of a party expressed themselves so fearlessly against the perceived wrong perpetrated by its leader.

First thing first, Hats off to you for standing up for your conscience. Writing a blog despite a gag order is absolutely the right thing to do. Rest of the PAC members, please decide whether you want to remain true to the idea/creation of AAP or you would like to start transforming towards being "Politician". My humble message to them is "AAP is a political party with a completely different ideologue" and hence stop behaving like a usual politician for whom a party diktat, political compulsions are bigger than truth/conscience. Support base for AAP comes from its ideology. The moment you start shifting from this ideology, and start compromising, please remember that there are other political parties in India that are Masters/Champs in that area and you will be left nowhere.
coming to the point of removing PB and YY from PAC, to me, this is the saddest day since the creation of AAP. While resigning as CM and spreading too fast too thin for Lok Sabha elections were strategic mistakes (right intention but wrong moves), this one appears malicious (Absolutely wrong intent and perhaps wrong move). Of course, going to media / leaking letters were mistakes by YY & PB, but let's not be too myopic in our view. Has anyone cared to explain why did they have to do this when these could easily have been discussed face to face.

Dear AK, you are a SuperHero. Given the SUPER HIGH entry barrier we have in our country to get into politics, what you have done/achieved is beyond comprehension/imagination. In my lifetime, I cannot claim to have seen anyone whose achievement comes closer to what you have achieved. Having said that, I am completely shocked to see your approach towards this crisis. I really hope that you will come clean on this (by clean, I mean true to your conscience) and if needed, get this resolved. Yes, I am stating "Resolved" because while a decision might have been taken as of now, this is not necessarily resolving the issue as you can see from the reaction of this blog.
While I have been ardent supporter of AAP, I myself find in a position, wherein I cannot defend this decision in front of my friends, colleagues.

Mayank sir, I do not really know the inner workings of AAP , so it woudnt be appropriate for me to comment on who is guilty and who is not. However, i can really say this that you have shown immense strength of convictions by staying true to the larger cause rather than indulging in petty party politics. Our country really needs people who will not sacrifice national cause for petty selfish gains of power and pelf. Good luck to you Sir.

This is not surprise for people outside Delhi. AK will end up as likes of Maya, Mulayam, Mamata, Jayalalitha etc. Power is only hunger and he has mastered to use public sentiments.

Thank you Mayank for your courage and truth.

Thank you sir.. I had done mistake of supporting and campaigning VP sing and was disappointed by him than , I never took interest in politics afterwords . I did support AK and am disappointed again. first Shazia then YY and PB .. now Ashish Kheitan is tweeting against you.. Sorry I did not voted you for this..

Sad. Angry. Disappointed
#AAP has lost his much valued moral mooring. A party of ethics & principles.
As a selfless party volunteer, supported it wholeheartedly in trying circumstances, I feel cheated today – on account of ethics, principles & morality.
Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav, the conscience keepers of the party were booted out for showing the mirror.
Swaraj has lost its relevance, it now dead. This wasn't AAP. A beacon of hope, a harbinger of new era of clean, honest, transparent politics.
Hope AAP leadership will take back its decision in the interests of volunteers & supporters 🙂

Dear Mayank,

You have not dared to say that YY and PB were shown the door due to there failed attempt to remove AK as convener and appoint YY on it.
When they failed in NE they went to media, how sad!

Please don't try to divert the issue.

Thanks,

Moles out, AAP will become stronger.

Thanks Mayank ji for sharing this. AAP is a party of volunteers. AK thinks he is bigger than the party and volunteers are his blind followers. He is soooo wrong. We are with the party because of its ideology and people like YY and PB who try their best to upkeep that, not because of only AK.

Dear AK, you lost the opportunity of a lifetime to do something big and make yourself immortal. Alas, you turned out to be a really small, helpless soul which could not even get over the ego of being the sole owner of the AAP. Anyway, I am hopeful that many true leaders would emerge out of this churning; AK was fake, so he did not last long. Good for volunteers, good for the nation.

Has Mr. Arivind Kejriwal become Arvind Gandhi of Congress breed? Has AAP become another Con-gress party with Arvind Kejriwal becoming Arvind Gandhi in the mould of Rahul Gandhi with a the coterie of Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, Ashish Khetan, Asutosh, Dilip Pandey etc.? All of these people are good people and very capable in their field but don't they feel ashamed that now they have just become 'Yes Man' team of one man now called Arvind Gandhi. Doe this Mr. New Gandhi think that he and his team are The AAP Party? What about all those lakhs of volunteers and thousand of donors who gave up their money, their precious time, their mental and physical efforts to raise an alternative and different political system to the NJP and Con-gress? Di Mr. New Gandhi ask all these people without publicly humiliating and throwing out two very important founding members of AAP party movement? Does thins New Gandhi Clan think that AAP party is their BAAP KI BAPOTI that they can do anything that they like as per their wishes? Does Mr. New Gandhi think that the New Delhi elections were won because of him or his coterie? It is very far from the truth for those who understand politics. BJP lost because of its own doing not so much as AAP won, even if it got 67 seats! There are many reasons for the BJP defeat and one of the main is that it became Ghamndi just like what Mr. New Gandhi has become. If Mr. PB and Mr. YY are ambitious then so are Mr. New Gandhi and his team of chaploos coterie. But what about the rightful issues that both of them raised? Why were they not discussed in the NE? People demand answers to those rightful issues from Mr. New Gandhi and his coterie. If Mr. New Gandhi and his chamchas have any guts them they should give answers to the public and the Delhi voters on the issues raised by PB and YY. Otherwise this is the beginning of the end of AAP as a party. I am not from Delhi and I was think of joining this party in my state but it seems it will be better to join the BJP or the Con-gress if I have to become a royal chamcha like Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, Ashish Khetan, Asutosh, Dilip Pandey!!!

Dear Mayankbhai,

Thanks for showing honesty, at least in public forum, for sake of millions (?) of volunteers.

I have different opinion for AK since he became CM for the first time. Following are the reasons for that belief.

The mindset of people especially Delhi is the main reason for this AK 47 to become so rude & self-centric. Every one wants free light, power, roads, wi-fi & countless things which were mentioned in AK's manifesto. He has smartly analyzed this weakness of every Indian weather poor or middle class. Being an educated person & very good orator, he has smartly publicised his so called new ideology to become a hit politicians. Some very intellect persons like YY, Mira Sanyal…… & others fell in this trap with a hope to cultivate or remove corruption from this huge nation. (Dear friends when we have people working in govt. offices with the same mindset of getting everything free, how one govt. within five years can stop corruption?). Delhi people has set wrong precedent for the wrong person. We all should understand the people of Delhi made mistake last year. But they have done overwhelming mistake again this year. This people are according to me fools.

Yesterday's episode one more stamp to my belief for AK.

I am sure, we are due to witness many more dramas from AK for next five years.

I request all those emotional volunteers to come back on earth & focus on regional issues instead of dreaming of becoming change agents for this country.

These so called members of The National Excutive of AAP to me appears to be a Bunch of Monkeys who have cut the branch of tree on which they themselves & the support system of AAP was banking.The so called National Convenor another Monkey was seen directing how the branch is to be cut.
God bless the " IDEA OF AAP."

Too many regrets here…seems power has already starting making our leaders headstrong and arrogant. This time, we were taken for a ride in just a month – last time it was 49 days!

Can we trust any of our leaders again? AK/YY/PB should all listen to each other – if they cannot listen to each other, how can they be our leaders? Tomorrow they may not even listen to us!

Truly Honest thoughts. I see no wrong

This is the bitter truth.

AK please refund 1Cr donated by Shanti Bhushan Ji & Rs. 3500/- donated by me. Have I contributed to strengthen the voice of Aam Aadmi in present Duldul of Politics in India or for making you another creature of this political duldul by consolidating your position? Many things can be sorted out by being dictator but what about the very principles of transparency, free speech etc. that you advocated earlier on the basis of which you got public support in all possible ways………….. If you really think you are convener in true sense, use your authority to induct them back. ………….. sorry to say that AAP, if continues like the same, will be just another "creature of this political duldul". R P Shrivastava, New Delhi

Dear Mayank,I m not AAP supporter and even wellwisher because I have seen rise & fall of Janta Party at the prime of my youth.Before making my decesion I wanted to judge this party for some time.Sorry to say till time it has not lived up to my expectations.In Janta Party the peoples were from different ideologies such as socialists/nationalists/capitalists with out side suuport of communists and every ideology was having corrupt and honest both type of persons.The party of AAP made on the single point base of honest politics and people with all ideologies kept on joining.On the first look it seemed that your party will abolish corruption and you got thumping majority in Delhi.Now in Delhi it is not clear how to move forward with Socialism/ Capitalism/Communism.Since AAP is having leaders from all streams so their Ideas r clashing.One ideology want to dominate another.Secondly your party is supported by lot of foreign funded NGOs.These NGOs act as per the wishes of foreign institutions who fund these NGOs.These foreign instituions dont want to see the development in INDIA different institutions are having different goals.So different NGOs want to pull APP to different direction.Now untill and unless AAP does not address issues of Ghost Funding/internal democracy of the party for example if some one raised some issues then voting should have been done on the issues not to oust the persons who raised the issues.The party which talks of SWARAJ and giving power even to MOHALLA SAMITIS how can act like this.My sincere advise is to clear ideology to move forward if you abuse AMBANI/ADANI then also clarfy who,how and why he has given u fund.And shut the doors of party to foreign funded NGOs.Come clear on every blame.

Hum to bolbe hi kiye the ki ee to hona hi tha. Power corrupts and Delhites will soon realize that absolute power corrupts all the more.

All the best Delhiites.

Gentleman(if u r), YY and PB have been raising the issue of 'one person-one post' inside the forum and outside for AAP's USPs of ' good governance, transparency and participative decision-making.
This is not consipiracy, but beginning the charity at home

arvind is like this from day one only thing is his real face is coming out now.another jokers are ashish,manish and ashuthosh.
Very hurted today on removal of YY and SB they are the most decent people in AAP

thank you sir for bring face out which we know but don't want to believe,YY and PB are the most decent person like you, but now decision are taken by jokers like manish, ashish and ashutosh great

Mr. Mayank Gandhi,
Every organization have some rules and regulations to follow, one of which is discipline. you all need to be disciplined. this way of writing the inside story of your party is really bad on your part.
Did you guys hear anything about BJP, congress like this…
people may say that you need to be transparent, but all these inside stories are not required, this was not required. this is damaging the image of the party and..you are responsible for this. have some guts and say these things in the meeting and not on blogs.
what are you trying to prove here…

anyways…even if people say AAP is arvind alone party…be it….you all are today at this position just because of Arvind Kejriwal…yes the support was there from volunteers but still every one knew that they are voting just because Arvind is CM candidate….
trust me in 90% cases in Delhi, people didnt knew or bothered to know who was AAP candidate in their locality, the vote was only and only for Arvind Kejriwal…

I even doubt you….you are against Arvind because you are based out of Mumbai and you may have some plans of expansion in Mumbai and you can be a CM…but please….not everyone can be Arvind Kejriwal…you need to work hard for this….and trust me…you are working hard…but still you need some maturity in you…

Thanks,Mayank.
I appropriate your spirit and honestly, pained from the way Arvind and Team behaved with fonder pillars of AAP. unfortunately, I am one of the donor, a stern follower and terrible supporter of this team because of its transparency and approach. I had some hunch about his attitude but never imagined that it will be so high that he wouldn't mind destroying pillars of his own team.

Can't the NE members capable to imagine that such decision will destroy the volunteer's base which is associated due to values which AAP propagates and which it had created so laboriously in past 2 years. It was this lot only- not these office-bearers who made AAP to come up so heavily in Delhi. Can these self-proclaimed pillars(?) see that 'how much damage they have done to Party'!

And how about if this decisions bounces back and disillusions people at large as the 'decision of Delhi resignation' did last time. Afer all, opposition wouldn't let such opportunity go! And, IS IT THE VALUE, ARVIND WAS TALKING ON OATH-CEREMONY DAY?????????

My Wishes
DRr GP Singh

Although I am not a member of AAP but I keep a very close eye on all the events of AAP.

I have simple question for Mr. Mayank Gandhi is that if Arvind did the wrong then you should have accepted his resignation as the convener post.

1.Why did you or NEC not accept Arvind resignation???

2. When we saw on TV that YY tried to malign AAP by giving inside information to reporters at breakfast meeting then how is YY is innocent???

3. When Mr. Shanti Bhushan did openly support to Ms. Kiran bedi during the election and Mr. Prashant Bhushan tried to balckmail AAP and AK before the Delhi elections then how come Mr. Prashant is innocent???

4. If Mr. Prashant or Mr. Yogendra Yadav had little bit of any kind of grace then they should have resigned from the PAC for the larger cause of AAP. I have seen Mr. Yogendra yadav on TV since my childhood during election results and I liked him very much but AAP is not for political games but I dont like Mr. Prashant who made the comments on Kashmir and being an Indian Muslim, I am proud that Kashmir is an integral part of India and will remain so forever.

Thanks Waseem Khan Moradabad India

AK is the pure opportunist. He Leveraged Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi, Shazia, Shanti Bhushan, Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav, and systematically removed all of them to become a dictator. Delhi will suffer because of this dictator. At least now, if people realize his ture colour they can avoid further damage to the nation by him.

Typical politicians tend to forget that they got the POWER because of SACRIFICE from too many direct and indirect volunteers. The AAP was not supposed to be like typical party. FYI, I sat on first fast at Jantar-Mantar, my number in register there was around 336. In LOK SABHA election, a builder from Ahmedabad was given AAP-ticket who never participated in any volunteer event prior to getting ticket! He was a stranger. The ticket was issued based on money power and parents association with Congress not on moral ground. I raised flag on this – but all in vein. But that experience gave me everything. Events these days speak of my firsthand observations.

Whats the Use of comming out now, when you didnt perform your duty during voting. This is of no use and just for publicity.

Whatever happened today due to arrogance of some stalwarts is most unfortunate for AAP and I fear is heading towards a big split. Efforts must be made to avert this. In similar conditions in 1969 Mrs Indira Gandhi had to part ways with old stalwarts who were not allowing her to work and Congress split into two parties Congress (I) & Congress (O).

बहुत भरोसा था. लेकिन अब वो टूट रहा है।अफसोस है कि केजरीवाल का अहंकार इतना बढ़ गया है कि वो समझ नहीं पा रहा है कि जो लोग उसके कुछ विचारों और निर्णयों का विरोध कर रहे हैं वो पार्टी के हित मे ही है। उससे भी बुरा ये है कि उसमे इतनी हिम्मत भी नहीं कि जनता मे कह सके कि आप दोनो के विचार अमुक कारणो से देश हित मे नहीं हैं।हम आहत हैं।मयंक जी धन्यवाद। यह बात उजागर होनी चाहिये थी।

kyuki aag usi ne lagai thi.

Regret having donated. Disappointed. Let down. Goodbye AAP. This is the beginning of the end. R.I.P.

After this SHameful ACT, i think now AK and his CHAMCHAS should left the party, because i supported AAP not AK and his chamachas..

Dissolve every commttee. Hol election in the party and let winner take over.

so what the hell did you do about it? other than washing dirty linen in public? like a low life you decided to just abstain. why did you not leave the PAC?

Well said.
I have the same opinion.

AAP is not property of Arvind, It is hardship of lakhs of volunteers built it from scratch. Arvind has no business of breaking trust of millions of volunteers on flimsy grounds. It is disgusting he still hides behind his health when founding members are getting expelled. Diabetics treatment is not heart transplant which can easily be postponed. AAP volunteers should unite to remove this mean fellow called Kejariwal.

AAP has now lost the support of so many honest volunteers. SHAME!

I greatly appreciate your blog. Unfortunately,the entire episode has tarnished the image of Arvind more than PB and YY. I too analysed the whole issue and published in my blog:http://ravinderkumar16.blogspot.in/2015/03/is-arvind-kejriwal-icon-of-honesty.html

Y all u Hypocrites went along with candidates like boozwala, terrorist sympathiser, etc and took and enjoyed 2crores of donation, and god only knows how much more black money been gobbled thru donations before election?

Whats the real truth behind u guys meeting a big business man with AK at five star hotel in mumbai before first delhi elections???

Is it connected with those 2 crore benami moolah, and is tht the reason AK is so over confident as to kick out founding donors???

I hope all aap blind volunteers read this znd ask u MG about that and u will come clean about it….

This is more than just removal of founders of AAP by a 'honesty-deficit' coterie of Kejriwal. For me as an NRI, AAP was the only hope for the betterment of the Country and it's future. But, the way corrupt politics and dishonesty has been introduced by some of the so called coterie of Kejriwal is very alarming and has made me very said. Very shameful episode. If the same things continues either Kejriwal should be kicked out, if not AAP will be kicked out of the political scenario of India.

This shows true colour of AK… He calls others power hungry and himself a Aam Admi… He has been proved a hypocrite power hungry politician like others…. Aam Admi Party has become now Arwind Admi Party… To Survive in AAP you need to Arwind Chancha…

As an hard core party sympathiser I too want chip in my few words. First, as you guys always say, this is a party with a difference. One can not sit this party on a same bench as BJP or Congress. Therefore, you must also know that your followers or supporters not the same as congress or BJP has. We will question every wrong move and held you accountable for every wrong doing. People at the top leadership should not assume that it is their party. We, the people own the party. You are answerable to us. Many of us given our life savings, hard earned money, toiling for the party leaving well paid jobs. People at the top just cannot make mockery of us and play with our emotions.
Now coming to the issue of removing YY and PB. First of all if there were conflict, was it so difficult to reconcile? After all, all of us are fighting for the same cause. So how can such a big difference exists so that we cannot even sit together? There appears to be someone having some hidden agenda and great personal aspirations amongst us. I may be wrong but that is how it appears. Next Prashant Bhusan is right when he differed with candidates selection. We set out to pick out only the right candidates and that too through election by people from the constituency. Where did it go during this time election? Why candidates were hand picked? So was it a drama to begin with in the first time around? But than PB's going public against it too would have been a extreme negative step. My opinion about about candidates selection: This time around, I saw a different AK during election campaign. While speaking to media he was not the same AK who spoke with conviction and energy. His view was more calculated and formula based. The same skill he employed even in choosing candidates. I did not criticise it though then. I let it pass as after National election debacle, everyone seems to wrote AAP off and termed it as forgotten case. So, one time relaxation was needed to revive the party. Now after winning Delhi Election with record margin and making history, party leadership must assert its values. Work tirelessly to push the cause further. If there was anytime to rebuild and strengthen the party, time is now. Now the whole of the world has taken notice and inspiration from AAP's Delhi success. It appalled me to see the current churning and turn of party events. It feels really cheap and shameful.
Remember you guys at the top of organization: You have given people of this country hope, showed a dream and people have come out from all walks of life to support your ideas. It is your turn now to convert your ideas into reality. I have never seen such heart pouring support for any political party ever in India. I myself lost many friends while fighting for AAP's cause and support. If you stray from your ideals, values people will simply not forgive you. To lead AAP would be like riding in the back of a tiger without being eaten by it. So you guys must be watchful of your acts and move. My wish, still those differences could be settled between AK, YY and PB. I hope that happens soon. Jai Hind. I also wish Prashant Ji, Yogendra Ji and Arvind Ji all there read my comment. Best wishes.

Excellent. Sounds very true!

metamorphosis of Arvind Kejriwal from an activist to a bleary-eyed politician!

I strongly disagree with you, being a AAP supporter myself you shouldn't have dared to go against Arvindji.
Take down this post and apologize to everyone.

As i Staunch AAP supporter, I am happy that MG has spoken clearly as possible. Due to new developements, i have unsubscribed from all AAP social sites.
Also had put hashtah #AAPkaBAAP #GetBackToBasics to trend !

Power Corrupts. Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely.

AAP was a movement. Now it is becoming like any other political party with a high command. It is no longer another pristine alternative.

The very fact that a small state which doesn't have full statehood needs to have a Deputy Chief Minister, indicates that Mr Kejriwal was planning to position himself above others. He wants absolute towards himself. I hope Mr. Mayank Gandhi too is not thrown out. God Bless Aam Aadmi !

I think, there is an immediate need to throw out the short tempered Asish Khetan, Ashtosh. These pesrsons are creating more damages than others to the party

Liked your blog very much. Am a blogger myself, though I now live in Canada and more concerned with local social issues relating to GMO and pesticide in Canadian agriculture.

I had been a donor to AAP earlier though, and remain a well wisher of India, and indirectly of AAP if it can help India.

Following up on your blog, I have a few questions, which are :

1) Does anyone know of the details of P/ Bhushan’s objection to candidate selection? Is there any list of names available of candidates that are now AAP MLA’s that might have had a chequered past? Are there other issues of funding disclosure or expense accounts? Where can the volunteers access them and check if AAP functions the way the volunteers expect them to?

2) According to the constitution of AAP, which is available to the public, NE seems to have no authority to “remove” members of the PAC. Please comment if my understanding is correct, and if so, is the ouster of YY/PB unconstitutional ?



3) According to the same constitution – PAC is to have 7 women, but has only 1, who voted against removal of YY/PB. Does the shortfall of 6 women make the decision of NE unconstitutional?



4) Do you still feel abstaining from the vote was the right thing to do?



I thank you again for the wonderful blog, and wish you the very best.

I was a big supporter of AAP. Campaigned vigorously for AAP. My views on it,

a) Person should not hold party post and executive post

b) This is essentially a power struggle for supremacy in the party

c) AAP stood by inner party democracy, these events do not show any inner party democracy

d) AAP pursues different politics, these events demonstrate that it is similar to other parties.

e) Difference of opinion is going to be there in democracy. "I CAN NOT WORK WITH PB and YY" is my way or the highway approach.

I am saddened by these events. I won't campaign for AAP, what a waste of time.

AAP will have to pay a heavy price for this foolish action. It is proving that after all, every party in politics today is more or less the same ! And AAP is no different !!!

Aap party is now a bunch of opputunist becoz of people like ashutosh, khetan, manish. these people disrespect the sentiments of aam aadmi who supported in every aspect to help this party to reach at this level. when faith breaks it is the most harmful thing and starting time of freefall.

Sad to see the points from the internal lokpal were not discussed in the meeting. If AAP can't honor its own lokpal how will we make Jan Lokpal work for the country?

It is the true colour of AK. He is nothing but a power hungry man.

I CAN SEE THE CHANGE IN THE PATH AFTER TWO JOURNALIST JOINED THE PARTY AND NOW BECOMING VERY CLOSE TO ARVIND KEJRIWAL…THESE TWO JOINED AAP WHEN THE AAP WAS WINNING…I AM SURE THEY WILL LEAVE THE AAP WHEN APP wILL NO MORE WINNING…..AND THE BLAME GOES TO MR. KEJRIWAL…..

मैं ईश्वर से प्रार्थना करता हूँ की योगेन्द्र यादव जी को आम आदमी पार्टी की संसदीय कार्यकारिणी से बर्खास्त करने का "प्रजातान्त्रिक" सर्वसम्मति का निर्णय आदमी पार्टी का एक "कूटनैतिक sweet victimization" षड्यंत्र नहीं था।
    सत्ता प्रतिस्पर्धा अर्थात कूटनीति में यह अक्सर होता है की किसी संभावित प्रतिस्पर्धी को, जो किसी न्याय गत विचार की मांग रखते हुए आगे बड़ रहा होता है, उसे उसकी ही मांग का शिकार बना कर उनकी बढ़त को थाम लगा देने का प्रयास किया जाता है। Fellow competitor is choked off by being made a sweet victim of his own demands.
   जैसे की, किरण बेदी के एक ट्वीट पर नज़र डाले। दिल्ली चुनाव में परास्त होने के उपरान्त बेदी जी right to recall की मांग को दोहराती हुई नज़र आई और बोलती है कि क्यों न RTR को दिल्ली से ही आरम्भ किया जाए।
    मानव व्यावहार और कूटनीति के अध्ययन में यह प्रयास sweet victimization वाला है। प्रतिद्वंदी को उसी के "हथियार" से उसको मार डालने को कोशिश।
    योगेन्द्र यादव जी ने पार्टी में आंतरिक प्रजातंत्र की मांग करी थी और पार्टी ने "प्रजातान्त्रिक सर्वसम्मति" से उन्हें ही पार्टी की संसदीय कार्यकारिणी से निष्काषित कर दिया है !! हुआ न यह एक sweet victimisation का प्रयास। प्रकट तौर पर इससे प्रतिद्वंदी परास्त भी हो गया और साथ में यह भी दुनिया वालों को दिखा दिया गया की पार्टी के अन्दर प्रजातंत्र विद्यमान है। संभावित प्रतिद्वंदी को उसी के हथियार से परास्त कर दिया गया।
    आम आदमी पार्टी को स्मरण रहे की झूठ के पाँव नहीं होते हैं। सत्य जो भी होगा, जल्द ही सबके सामने निकल आएगा। पार्टी यदि person-centric हो रही है, जैसा की योगेन्द्र जी का मानना था, तो यह स्मरण रहे की सचिन तेंदुलकर के सेवानिवृत होने के उपरान्त से टीम के कोच ने यही भरसक प्रयास किया है की टीम दुबारा person centricity की समस्या से न गुज़रे। भारतिय क्रिकेट टीम में दिलचस्पी रखने वालों ने कोच के इन प्रयासों को अवशय अनुभव किया होगा और समझने का प्रयास किया होगा की क्यों इस वर्ल्ड कप के दौरान सहवाग और युवराज जैसे दिग्गज खिलाडियों को टीम में स्थान नहीं मिल पाया।
   अरविन्द निश्चित आज एक बड़े नेता हैं। इसमें दो राय नहीं हैं। मगर person centricity की समस्या भी आरम्भ इसी छोटे बिंदु से होती है जब पूरी टीम ही उस एक बड़े नेता के प्रभाव में इतनी गेहरी हो जाती है की वह उस "बड़े नेता" की आभा के आगे देखना भूल जाती है। और उसका कोई विकल्प ही नहीं तैयार करती है जिससे की आवश्यता के दौरान "बड़े नेता" को हटा कर विकल्प को प्रयोग ले सके।
     बरहाल हम आज के इस निर्णय को एक बार फिर से समय के हाथों में सौंप देते है और उसे ही अंतिम न्याय करने के लिए नियुक्त कर देते हैं। बस यह याद रहे की अक्सर करके समय जब अपना अंतिम न्याय देता है तब तक पानी सर से गुज़र चूका होता है, बहोत देर हो चुकी होती है।

I think Mayank Gandhi is the only one following the original principles of AAP… Kudos!!!!

Thank you for you stand! This gag order is unacceptable.

What have PB and YY done to deserve this? Dropping bigger leaders like PB and YY obviously raises concerns. More infromation should come out. Why this secrecy? Who are we hiding from?

Mr. Manish Sisodia and team should think that the descision of removal of YY and PB has hurted heart of millions of voluenteers. these both (YY and PB)people are deserved more than member of PAC of AAP.

Sir plz resign by itself u too HV leaked the info

Shame on you Aravind.With due respect as a citizen of india i would like to bring to your kind attention that people of india has zero tolerance to hypocrisy and arrogance. If you can't stand two volenteers who have given their time and life to a noble cause,how can aam admi tolerate your intolerance.Shame on you sir.

Mayankji, I wish you had been open to the trigger provided by Dogra of Indian Express. Indian Express has turned itself to a third rate tabloid by giving full front page billing to Dogra's story and that was the last straw on camel's back. The strange way Indian Express has handled AAP affair, smacks of some conspiracy to sow seeds of division with a view to destroy the APP party as a serious contender against both Congress and BJP. I wish all the seniors should have understood media games and kept their differences among themselves. After all, the way AAP is formed there are bound to be more than one or one dozen ideas even in the top councils. That could have been handled by more maturity and patience. Nothing is lost yet, if you all figure out, who must be beneficiary out of the travails of APP and who will fail, if the team rises about the ego and present itself as a united party to serve the nation and its people.

I have been through similar situation in our organization. Visionary and super intelligent leaders like Kejriwalji in this case actually think in their minds that they know better how to take an organization to its goals (governance related result oriented goals like Delhi Governance). They start feeling so strongly about the direction they should take to achieve those goals, that they can see through much better than others how the other suggestions are wrong/weak. But when those suggestion makers come with stature of their own, then it becomes difficult for them to take the organization to the desired goal. Hence they do not see difference between working to fulfilling the goals of the organization to that of removing these obstacle creating voices, as the removal will much more easily fulfill the goals.

The problem is that these extra ordinary leaders fail to define the real goals in their minds, rather they start focusing on short term/limited goals. Hence they act likewise.

If Kejriwalji focuses on long term goals of India wide, then he would see that it can only happen by strong local leaders. Without diverse leaders where all can he go and do the same like Delhi. But these leaders have to be moulded patiently, engaged as per their abilities/desires and loved for what they are able to offer. Actually a real leader would be in the background, pushing his other leaders forward.

Small sightedness (Delhi) vs. long sightedness(India). Is there someone in AAP with that vision and abilities?

If the party expands to other states like Punjab etc and able to from a government, then who will ask /care these children Ashish, Pandey, Ashutosh, Sanjay singh etc of AK?
Also, AK cannot think of a situation that Delhi would be a municipal ward in front of a bigger state like Punjab and AK is a municipal councilor. This is the reason why this child caucus of AK is opposing (for AK) the expansion of party to other state.

मयंक जी, आआपा में पिछले दिनों जो घटनाक्रम हुआ वो हम सब के लिये अत्यंत पीड़ादायक और भयानक था, यह भी तय है कि इसे टाला जा सकता था, अगर जो टाल सकते थे उन्होनें टालने की कोशिश की होती। ये कोशिश क्यों नही की गई, ये भी एक विचारणीय प्रश्न है। ये स्थिति क्यों आई इसके सभी पहलुओं पर भी धैर्य और शांति से विचार करना आवश्यक है।
वोटिंग में 8 सदस्य विपक्ष में, के मुकाबले 11 सदस्य पक्ष में के आधार पर योगेन्द्र जी और प्रशांत जी को पीएसी से हटाया गया, आप सहित तीन सदस्यों ने वोटिंग में भाग नही लिया, यानि निष्कासन के पक्ष में नही थे, तो फिर आप लोगों ने उनके पक्ष में वोट क्यों नही किया? यदि ऐसा होता तो मामला बराबरी पर रहता। खैर प्रश्न यह नही है, प्रश्न यह है कि आआपा में ये गुटबाजी, खेमेंबाजी कहाँ से आ गई? जब सभी ने ये प्रण करके कि देशहित, लोकहित ही सर्वोपरि होगा, आआपा का गठन किया था तो फिर ये आज खेमों में बंटी क्यों नजर आ रही है, ये बात तो कभी सोची भी नही जा सकती कि इसके संस्थापक सदस्यों के लिए देशहित या लोकहित से इतर स्वहित अधिक महत्वपूर्ण हो गया है। तो फिर क्या ये अहं का टकराव है?
आप ने ब्लॉक के माध्यम से सारे घटनाक्रम और अरविन्द जी से अपनी असहमति व्यक्त की, क्यों? क्यो आप सहित विपक्ष में रहे सभी सदस्यों नें मीटिंग में विरोध नही किया? और अब ब्लॉक के माध्यम से आपसी विचारों के विरोधाभास को लोगों के सामने लाया? क्यों योगेन्द्र जी, प्रशांत जी, दिलीप जी ने चिठ्ठी लीक की? क्या आआपा में आपसी विचारविमर्श, संवाद और सहमति-असहमति के लिए कोई स्थान नही बचा है? क्या यदि मीटिंग में ही सभी पहलुओं पर, सभी सदस्यों द्वारा विचार करके निष्कर्ष पर पहुँचा जाता, तो आज ये स्थिति नही होती। आपने घर के झगड़े को सार्वजनिक करके जो बहादुरी दिखाई है, वो बहादुरी सभी ने मीटिंग में दिखाई होती तो आज ये नौबत नही आती। बधाई के पात्र तो कुमार विश्वास जी हैं जिन्होने असहमति होते हुए भी मीडिया के सामने कभी व्यक्त नही किया। मीडिया के सामने तो योगेन्द्र जी, प्रशांत जी ने भी कुछ नही कहा। मयंक जी घर के झगड़े को कभी रोड में तमाशा बनाने के लिए नही लाया जाता। ट्रंासपरेंसी, घर में स्वराज या लोकतंत्र के नाम पर आप ये तो नही चाहेंगे कि किसी के शयनकक्ष के निजी पलों पर मिनट्स सार्वजनिक किया जाये? आआपा के विरोधी तो चाहते ही हैं कि फुट पड़े और मीडिया को लिर्फ टीआरपी से मतलब है। अत: आप सबसे विनम्र निवेदन है कि जो भी करें देशहित, लोकहित को सर्वोपरि जानकर गहन सोचविचार के बाद ही करें. धन्यवाद।

Mayank – I am impressed with your frank views. And that;s what I like in AAP (as an active member of AAP on FB in Mumbai). This is real democracy. I am also impressed that AK told franklyy that he doesn't like YY & PB to remain in PAC (whatever may be the reaosns) . I also like that open voting was done in PAC, and I believe that no one was forced to vote in favour of any side. The proof is that you were neutral. Isn't it a good sign? But whatever happened is not good, as I dont know the real reasons behind AK & team not wanting YY & PB to continue in PAC, but I am fully covinced that the entire team of seniors including you is an excellent team and they must stay together. And I hope you can really help in bringing the team together and avoid any furthr rift in AAP. We are exteemely hopeful about AAP in future, let's not break our momentum.

@mayank I read blog of you dated 30 Aug, 2013 which described how AAP volunteers are scarifying their life and family for AAP thinking they are supporting nation. But now I realised Arvind is using their sacrifice for his own interest. Feeling bery sad from deep of my heart for those volunteers.

Hope this is the big lesson for AAP leaders and they will amend themselves and live to the standards they were talking about, otherwise history will not forgive them and earn the curse of Aam Adami, sorry to say it.
Thank you Mayank bhaiyya.

I am a volunteer of AAP & I have donated for a larger cause. I am deeply pained to see the catfight. I thank you for your strength & courage.My respect for you has gone high. I demand that the minutes of the meeting be made open to all the volunteers & transperancy restored.Strategy to stonewall & hide things & victimise people who stant for ethics & transperancy is clearly visible.

Mayank How much you got from BJP for this? you are nothing in front of AK. Do be jealous

I m aap supporter but disappointed with decision.

Aam admi Party is dead ..Arvind Party is born n will be alive for five years. Fools are those who believe that it is a different party. Check the allegations made by PB, it engaged in all cheap methods to win Delhi election from liquor to communalized campaign, from corrupt way of fund collection to selection of criminal minded candidates. And most importantly , its policies on from education issue to economic issue, from local to national issues are highly flawed or totally impractical.
AK get a life, dramabaji is too much, You have AIIMS in Delhi, y need to go bang for 10 days for cough n leaving Delhi on no one's responsibility?
Whose money ll be used for wifi, free water, free electricity ???not taxpayers ? So I left AAP long back …a good job I did.

Thanks for telling us what happened. Not that I don't like AK but I respect YY more than AK just because YY is calm, understanding and rational person. It is true that AK was face of AAP but YY/PB should be base of AAP. Questions they raised were legitimate and would have helped the party in long run. But it is unfortunate that few people didn't like the cleanest politics what they talked about. We can understand the power game in politics but they could have done it in nice way instead of this shame. I will think twice before I make my next donation to this party, if it is going to AK's party instead of AAP. One question remains, why didn't you and Kumar Viswas vote? That could have saved the them.

I am again a anonymous donor of the party and have donated in all election till now. I have never donated for any political party and i thought this is the party with difference but it seems i am wrong. Ak has always said that its the volunteers party but then when all the NRI's chapter sent a note that they are opposed to this decision then how come NE take this decision. AK is a leader and he should be able to work with people who oppose them. If AK is unable to resolve this and bring them back i doubt he will get the support that he need next time. Many people from outside Delhi supported the party in a hope that it will expand slowly and they can see a better politics in their constituencies and their life will improve. I hope sense prevails in AAP

Dunno Mayank…. somehow I think you are just playing the game of the innocent

all of you in the AAP seem to be opportunists (or jokers like Kumar Vishwass)keeping the facts of brewing dissidence in the dark to volunteers until it suits your own time-frames… and you are not excluded from the above…

If you really feel that you want to make a difference to the people, the AA, pls quit this stupid set-up, get down to the grass-roots and work with the AA for their betterment… you will not only have a peaceful life, it would also be fulfilling…

To save AAP from destroying its own foundation, I suggest that members of AAP insist that it:

1) Publicly apologizes to Yadav and Bhushan
2) Brings them back into PAC
3) Institute several internal Lokpal first to deal with complaints raised by these two about possible non-conformance with its constitution, and following up with complaints if any against them.
4) Address all internal Lokpal's before deciding the status of YY/PB or other members, tainted MLAs etc.
5) Make sure accounts of donations and expenses are strictly according to its guidelines.
6) Try to win back public trust.
7) Proceed with service to the nation.

We can go on and on with specifics but should the specifics be coming from us from the IITian whose face and promises got 67 of the 70 seats.

But Mr. Arvind Kejriwal, do not worry. With the kind of attitude you are working you will not last months – let alone the full term. And as for the Prime Ministership – forget it.

Hitler had the Luftwaffe (Air Force), an experienced and hardened Wehrmacht (Army), best Scientists, a dedicated cadre of Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth) and he was the unchallenged leader of a very powerful nation. When even someone very powerful like Hitler start targeting his disliked people (Jews) and was able to kill millions of them, ultimately he got decimated and the Jews got their own country and are now one of the most powerful nations – Israel. Mr. AK, you may have used the Blitzkrieg (Lightning War) effectively and got 67 out of 70, but you are very vulnerable. Start working for those who voted for you. Start working on specifics and also start sharing the details. Be open to criticism and suggestions.

Remember you are not even a fraction as powerful as Hitler, and he got decimated. Remember the JP movement conquered India but got decimated. Remember history always repeats itself.

Grow up and start working. Ensure all meetings are properly minuted and all Minutes of Meetings are populated on your site with 24 hours. Ensure the Government works effectively and transparently. Do not be lured by big cars and big bungalows. We can see through all that. When we see Manish Sisodia ask for a 7 bedroom, two lawns bungalow from the Central Government, we know that he has not earned it. We know that he should continue living in his LIG flat and not in the bungalow.

Else you can be assured that the day is not far that the slaps will come back and this time they will be many more and much more frequent. People can forgive you once but that is all.

A Genuine Aam Aadmi.

गंभीर कार्यकर्ताओं के चेतावनी के बाद कि CONG BJP राजनीती के घाग खिलाड़ी हैं, वे दिल्ली हार के बाद AAP को चैन से जीने नहीं देंगे. वो पूरी कोशिस करेंगे कि AAP टूट जाये, कमजोर हो जाए. AAP NE ने दूरदर्शीता का परिचय नहीं देते हुए जो निर्णय लिया उससे काफ़ी दुख हुआ कि VV, PB (बुधिजिवि वर्ग ) को NE ने PAC से निकाल दिया इसलिये कि उन्होने सिद्धांतो पर चलने की राय पर अडिग रहने की सलाह दी थी.
इल्जाम मे 6-8 महीने पहले जो AAP का कठिन समय था उस समय पर उक्त नेताओं के AAP को कैसे मंजधार से पार कैसे निकाला जाये के मनन को अरविंद के खिलाफ़ एक षडयंत्र माना, उस समय अगर लोगों का अरविंद पर विश्वास डगमगा गया था जैसा LS2014 के परिणाम से लगा था तो क्या यह AAP को उबारने की रणनीति का हिस्सा नही माना जा सकता था. दूसरे नेताओं का ऐसा सोचना आज के सन्दर्भ दिल्ली जीत के बाद गलत हो सकता है पर 6-8 महीने पहले स्वाभाविक था और AAP के सुभ्चिन्तक ही ऐसा सोच सकते थे.
जब घर के बड़े बूढ़े घर बचाने की सोचें तो व्यक्ति गौण हो जाता है. अरविन्द से स्वराज की भावना की क़द्र करने की सब राष्ट्रीय और अन्तराष्ट्रीय कार्यकर्ताओं की उम्मीद पर वे खरे उतर सकते थे, सवयम कन्वेनर और २ साथियों को co-convenor बना कर अरविन्द सबका दिल रख सकते थे, पर उन्होंने स्वराज की भावना को नहीं समझा…इसलिए लाखों कार्यकर्ताओं का विश्वास उन पर डगमगा गया है. NE के इस निर्णय ने AAP को भविषय में DMK AIDMK BSP SP SS JD आदि पार्टियों के समकक्ष ला कर खड़ा कर दिया है जहा सिर्फ एक व्यक्ति की बात चलती है, दुसरे व्यक्तियों का कोई विचार माने नहीं रखता, ख़ास कर जब विचार विरोध में हो… क्या भिन्न विचार रखना या संस्था को मंज्धार से निकालने का प्रयास AAP में गद्दारी मानी जाती है, तो क्या लाखों करोड़ों कार्यकर्ताओं को AAP से अरविन्द बाहर निकाल सकते है, सदस्यों और कार्यकर्ताओं के बिना AAP गौण है और अरविन्द दूसरे राज्यों में भी गौण नहीं हो जायेंगे? क्योंकि कार्यकर्ताओं को लगेगा कि उनके साथ भी विचार भिन्न होने के कारण येही सब होगा…..अरविन्द आप बंगलोरे में स्वास्थ्य लाभ ले रहे हैं, स्वस्थ निर्णय लें सब कार्यकर्ताओं की भावनाओं को समझ के स्वराज के सिध्धान्तों के अनुरूप AAP को चलायें.

sir….sahi kiya aap ne bt AAP ne sahi nahi liya….abh yeh party ek "AKELA ARVIND PARTY" ban k reh giye hei…aur woh aaram kar raha hei BENGLUR mei……

प्रशांत भूषण और योगेन्द्र यादव के प्रश्न तो एकदम सही थे फिर arvnind kejriwal ने उसे क्यों नहीं माना? क्या केजरीवाल ग़लत उम्मीदवारों के पक्ष में है? क्या केजरीवाल गलत पैसों के लिए चुनाव लड़ रहे है या चुनाव जितने केंलिये किसी भ हद तक जा सकते है अन्य नेताओं के जैसे? ये सवाल अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण हैंऔर आप कार्यकर्ताओं को इसका स्पष्ट जवाब केजरीवाल से मांगना चाहिए।

Mayank, Thank you for sharing the deatils…What still haunts me is the fact that YY and PB being aware that dubious candidates were being selected did not speak at the time. They wanted to wait and watch. AK speaks like doodh se dhula hoon mein. And he is nowhere to be seen now….I feel sorry for the Aam janta of Delhi

…just watch Manish Shishodia, the remote controlled `Robot Minister' of Delhi with so many ministry in his pocket. If such `Yes Minister' (jo-hoozor) style-of-work find space in APP governance, it is better AAP-11 should merge with any one of these supremo-led parties; options: Didi, Navin, Mulayem, Amma, Laloo, Madam, Power, Mahanta, Moody, Ajmal, Farook, Nitish etc. Manish must be shown door of AAP if he fails to explain the volunteers why he had brought such fatal resolution in PAC even though YY & PB were willing to allow AK work solitary in future PAC meetings…YY & PB must be inducted to PAC with proper dignity to make AAP a vibrant, non-Supremo style, democratic and volunteer-based party…

I do not see any blog on a damaging move by Shanti Bhushan on Delhi poll eve, is it deliberate ?

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.

प्रशांत और योगेन्द्र के उठाये प्रश्न बहुत सही हैं मगर इसे अरविन्द के खिलाफ हथियार के रूप में उपयोग किया जा रहा था . ना नियत सही थी ना समय और ना ही तरीका सही था सवाल उठाने का

"एक छोटा घाव कैसे भगन्दड़ बन जाता है "
इसका अच्छा उदाहरण है ये सारी घटनाये ! नवीन
जयहिंद और योगेन्द्र यादव का मतभेद इतना आगे
बढेगा हमलोग सोच भी नही सकते थे ! हरियाना मे
दोनो के बीच प्रभुत्व की लड़ाई इतना मतभेद
पैदा करेगी कोई नही सोच पाया था! अरविंद जी इन
सब चीजो से काफी वयथीत है !

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

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.

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 ..

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.

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 .

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.

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!

Thanks…Truth must be told..Discipline should not become a tool to suppress truth and thus spread falsehood..You showed some spine..Good..I liked it.

I Want Yogendra Yadav to be back in PAC.

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.

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

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

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"

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.

If AK can't work with YY and PB then AK should be removed from PAC, not YY and PB.

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.

I salute you for telling the truth despite the gag order of Arvind Kejriwal. God save India from hypocrites like AK

Mayankji !
At the outset let me congratulate u first…for showing the guts to reveal the Truth to all volunteers n reminding the party's front runners that this party is a movement based on completely different ideology in comparison to other existing political parties which has won the heart of millions selfless Volunteers….
Now speaking about swaraj , power back to people,transparency, Dynastic politics,crony capitalism n many more terms has been dictated n formulated in our party's ideology…
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..

Thank you for a little detail info sir. But there has to be some strong evidence against YY and PB to vote against them. And if its true then I don't think anything wrong happened. And if there is no evidence then its wrong. it is our right to know the truth.

Possibly you are AAP because you believe that 84 riot was by hindus against sikh,bro agree or not it was congress against sikhs.

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.

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.

puraane Natak hai, sabke…..natak khor log hai………mayank ji bhi kam nahin,…inhone kaun se kam utpaat kiye hai…jaise ko taisa

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.

pls. learn to agree to disagree. Debate on issues indoors. Stand #UnitedAAP outside

Good one

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.

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.

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…

Tujhe dost kahu ya dushman kahu,

kehta hai ki chahta hai meri khushi tu,
fir q tu mujhe hamesha rulata hai

deta hai mujhe jeene ki dua tu,
ya is jahanum me jalne ki koi saza deta hai

ye jan kr bhi ki ye saase hai meri,
tod deta hai meri palko me saje khwabo ko tu,
aur wajah mujhe neend se jagana bata deta hai

AAP record: Always come back more stronger than ever.

Wait and watch ….

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.

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.

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.

Jai hind

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&#
