AAP disbands Maharashtra unit; Gandhi says Kejriwal destroying party

Beautifully functioning Maharashtra teams dissolved. Sad that politics has won: Gandhi

Mumbai: The Aam Aadmi Party dissolved its Maharashtra unit on Thursday, triggering a sharp reaction from its National Executive member Mayank Gandhi, who said the party convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is "hell-bent on destroying" the organisation by playing "gutter politics."

The decision, posted on AAP website, said the party's Political Affairs Committee (PAC) has dissolved "all bodies in Maharashtra."

Reacting to the development, Gandhi, the most prominent face of AAP in Maharashtra, alleged that Kejriwal is determined to finish the party's root in the state.

"AAP people had entered politics by forming a party to clean the gutter, but unfortunately on the contrary, members got overpowered by the gutter politics," Gandhi said.

He took to twitter to express his resentment and said "Beautifully functioning Maharashtra teams dissolved. Sad that politics has won!." "Let the high command expel me from the party, but the truth is that the high command himself is hell bent to finish the party's root in Maharashtra," he said.

Gandhi had strongly spoken against removal of founder members of AAP like Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav from the PAC in March and said he will continue to raise his voice.

In a veiled reference to Kejriwal, Gandhi said, "It is now true that AAP has only one voice in the party. Whosoever, puts different voice, not matching with high command, he is kicked out."

"Two type of politics, one that works with the people on the ground and other that do chaplusi in Delhi. The second type has won. Jai ho.," (sic) he tweeted.
