But sources close to him say that the AAP founder member has told party chief Arvind Kejriwal that he is not satisfied over PAC decision and his conditions must be met , to make him continue in the party .
Yesterday he skipped the meeting of of AAP’s Political Affairs Committee or PAC on Monday evening.
Instead he met the media Tuesday, saying, teary-eyed, that he would “take a decision tonight.”
Such scenario may lead to some big announcement today , that could further dent the party – party suffering heavy blows after Punjab and Delhi civic body elections .
However, Kejriwal has approached Kumar Vishwas at his Ghaziabad house to resolve the ongoing crisis .
“Kumar Vishwas is an integral part of our movement. He has some grudges. We will convince him,” said Mr Kejriwal, who was accompanied by his deputy Manish Sisodia. They then left for the Chief Minister’s residence on Flagstaff Road, Kumar Vishwas included, to continue discussions.
Kumar Viswas-46 year old, is a popular hindi poet and founder member of party was allegedly accused by a AAP MLA- Amanatuall Khan of to stage a coup to grab the party’s chief post. Kumar Vishwas want him to be expelled from the party. He said Khan was only removed from the party’s key post, had he made allegations against Kejriwal or Sisodiya, he would have been thrown out from the party.
Kumar Vishwas also claimed that the movement began from his home with mere three people. Kejriwal , Manish Sisodiya and Vishwas.
A number of party lawmakers from Punjab and Delhi have written to Mr Kejriwal backing Mr Vishwas.
Crisis in the party started when Vishwas praised PM Modi year back, as if he is growing proximity to the BJP, though he denied any such plan to join BJP.
On Tuesday he brought up his praise of PM Modi, saying he felt no need to apologise for it.
“Nobody has asked him to apologise on anything but now Kumar is making this into a personal fight,” Manish Sisodia had said last night, adding that leaders going public with their complaints only benefits “other parties.”
