It is a civil war that has broken out in the Aam Aadmi Party. The ominous signs were there since the loss in the Delhi municipal elections.

AAP leaders Alka Lamba, Kapil Mishra and a few others differed with the official spokesperson's line of blaming the electronic voting machines for the electoral defeat.

Now, AAP PAC member Kumar Vishwas has launched an offensive against the top leadership of the party. Kumar Vishwas has hit out at Delhi Chief Minister and AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal over a range of issues.

Speaking to India Today, Kumar Vishwas questioned Arvind Kejriwal's defence of AAP's loss in Punjab, Rajouri Assembly by-poll in Delhi and the MCD elections.

Kumar Vishwas said that the party needs 'radical reforms'. The question of change of leadership will also be discussed in the party, Vishwas told India Today.

WHAT ELSE KUMAR VISHWAS SAID: THINGS TO KNOW Kumar Vishwas said, "We did not lose the elections because of EVMs. People did not vote for us in enough number. There is mistrust among the people for us." "Blaming EVMs is not good. That can be a factor but we failed to reach out to the voters and volunteers," Kumar Vishwas said. Kumar Vishwas said that Arvind Kejriwal's stand on surgical strike was wrong. He said that Kejriwal "should not have attacked the Prime Minister over surgical strike". Kumar Vishwas blamed the loss in Punjab Assembly election on the wrong decision made by the AAP. "Ticket distribution was wrong. People from the Congress and the Akali were given tickets. Many decisions were taken inside closed door," Kumar Vishwas said. He also said, "(AAP's Punjab in-charges) Sanjay Singh and Durgesh Pathak resgined but that was too late." Commenting on the MCD electoral loss, Kumar Vishwas said, "This is our sixth defeat because we were disconnected with volunteers. EVMs should not be blamed solely. We lost because people did not vote for us." "Gopal Rai was given charge of Delhi by Arvind Kejriwal. Nothing was discussed. The decision was told in the PAC," Kumar Vishwas said. Kumar Vishwas said, "Party needs to change. Instead of blaming others, we must introspect the reasons for loss." On the question if there is need to change the leadership, Kumar Vishwas said, "We will discuss this in the party soon." "We didn't sit at Jantar Mantar to fight against Congress, Modi, BJP or EVM," Kumar Vishwas said while outlining the original objective of providing an alternative stream of politics in the country.
