I thought only the Congress and the BJP were scared
The founder-members of the party, who participated in the anti-graft campaign
that was the precursor to AAP, were known to be close friends.It referred to a
video in which Mr Vishwas was seen making a veiled attack on the Delhi
government over alleged corruption before the MCD polls. Kumar Vishwas (Photo:
PTI) New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party was a dream that thousands of people
breathed life into.
Mr Vishwas believes he has been overlooked by the top brass.
Recent developments indicate that the rift between poet-turned-politician
Vishwas on one side, and chief minister Kejriwal and his deputy Sisodia on the
other, has widened to an abyss.
I thought only the Congress and the BJP were
scared of me,†he later said, taking a dig at the AAP leadership.Mr Khan was
suspended, but the Vishwas camp said he was never out of favour.Mr Vishwas took
strong exception to that and threatened he would quit the party if action was
not taken against Mr Khan, who he described as just a "maskâ€. Bitterness has
reached a point where a détente seems unlikely, they said.Mr Vishwas is also
troubled over the top leaders’ relationship with Okhla MLA Amanatullah Khan.
The
party’s national council meeting held last week reflected this. Recently, the
party revoked the suspension of Mr Khan, who, after AAP’s debacle in the MCD
elections, had accused Mr Vishwas of being an "agent of the RSS†and trying to
split the party. What if Kumar starts attacking the party after becoming a Rajya
Sabha member,†asked an AAP leader considered close to Mr Kejriwal. One bone of
contention is the tussle over a Rajya Sabha seat. Mr Vishwas often fondly
reminisced how key decisions over the formation of the party took place at his
residence in Ghaziabad."But the leadership has apprehensions about that.
With its
brute majority in the 67-member Delhi Legislative Assembly, AAP can send three
people to the Upper House of Parliament.Mr Vishwas alleged that for the first
time he was not among the speakers at the high-level meet. The Okhla legislator
was included on crucial panels of the Delhi Legislative Assembly and Mr Kejriwal
attended an iftar party organised by Khan, which was seen as a clear snub to Mr
Vishwas..Mr Vishwas, who fought — and lost to — Congress vice-president Rahul
Gandhi in Amethi in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, has been upset with the China bathroom waterproof panel Manufacturers
leadership for some time now.As AAP turns five this month, it seems unlikely
that the trio will ever be a cohesive group again.A section of AAP close to Mr
Vishwas believed the rift had been caused by a "coterie†around Mr Kejriwal
which, they claimed, was against Mr Vishwas, in charge of the Rajasthan unit of
the party.
The Kejriwal camp had its share of grievances against Mr Vishwas, whom
they disparagingly referred to as a "part-time politician†because of his
professional commitments as a poet. Mr Vishwas sees himself as a strong
contender for one of the seats.Sources from the two camps believed the strain in
the friendship has hit a nadir. Among them were three close friends — Arvind
Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Kumar Vishwas.AAP Rajasthan head believes he has
been overlooked by top brass

Thank you for this well-written article. I believe we all need a good politician who has vast knowledge on different areas of life—not only politics. This is to make sure that they can relate with their subjects. But, we can’t really know what each of them think. Unlike akinator the genie game (a genie which can guess what you think), politicians are difficult to predict.
Sometimes, it’s stressful and frustrating on the constituent’s end. Fortunately, there are many entertaining things you can do nowadays. You can click this link to find one: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fishdom/comadfmahampkihihdifglcgpdgjglak
