NEW DELHI : With the Assembly polls drawing close, more trouble is brewing within the the Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab. The party has hit a new stumbling block with a new faction of volunteers, party workers and ticket aspirants contemplating fielding candidates against the party from 59 of the 117 Assembly seats.Alleging that national convener Arvind Kejriwal has ‘lost connect’ with workers and volunteers in the state, this faction of volunteers, mainly from Taran Taran, Amritsar, Gurdaspur and Hoshiarpur has decided to hold an open convention in Jalandhar on December 3 to take the rebellion ahead.The rebels had earlier given a 48-hour ultimatum to the Delhi CM to change candidates in these 59 constituencies on which they alleged that the party had fielded ‘tainted’ candidates and exchanged money for allotting seats.Rebel AAP volunteer Varinder Singh Parihar in charge of the fundraising through the NRI support in the US, in an open letter to Kejriwal, alleged that state convenor Sanjay Singh and Durgesh Pathak, in charge of organisation building in the state had charged Rs 2 crore for a ticket from each constituency. “Every word in that letter is true and I will prove it in the days to come,” he told ET “The party is run by outsiders from Delhi who have no connect with the state and party workers,” said Kabul Singh, a volunteer from Zira in Ferozepur who is leading the rebellion alluding to Singh and Pathak.
