NEW DELHI: Pushed to the wall by intra-party strife after the Lok Sabha debacle, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal had decided to quit politics . Delhi election committee group member Ashutosh on Sunday said Kejriwal was so disheartened by allegations that AAP had a "supremo style" that he had decided to hang up his boots."Kejriwal was so upset after the June 2014 national executive meeting that he discussed it with his family and decided to quit politics for good. It was only after both Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan met him the next day and convinced him that he changed his mind,'' Ashutosh, a Kejriwal confidant, said. He added that Yadav and Bhushan had assured Kejriwal that they would work under his leadership.The disclosure comes even as the party appears to be divided between the Bhushan-Yadav duo and Kejriwal's supporters. The differences led to the duo's expulsion from AAP's political affairs committee on March 4. In his book 'The Crown Prince, The Gladiator And The Hope', Ashutosh recalls how Yadav had resigned from all party posts alleging that AAP had fallen prey to a "personality cult". The book says, "Arvind's face fell. He rose and excused himself to leave the room. He started to say something, but could not complete. He broke down and as tears fell unheeded, he crumbled to the floor. Anjali (Damania, AAP leader from Maharashtra who unsuccessfully contested against Nitin Gadkari) and I (Ashutosh) rushed to him. She put her arms around him… Soon, Anjali began crying as well and shouted, 'We should all be ashamed of ourselves. This is what we have given him'. After some time, Arvind regained his composure. By now, everyone had gathered around him."The book adds that Kejriwal said, "I have not left my job and other good things of life just to become a convener of the party. I don't want this. Please elect someone as the national convener."Ashutosh added that around August-September 2014, Shanti Bhushan wrote a "nasty letter'' to Kejriwal threatening to "expose" him if he didn't step down as national convener and make way for Yadav.He claimed that Yadav and Bhushan were planning to remove Kejriwal for a long time and wanted AAP to lose the Delhi assembly elections. "We didn't want this issue to go into public, but efforts were being made to remove Arvind from the convener's post," Ashutosh said.Meanwhile, responding to questions on infighting, Yadav said he had told party men that there should be no more questions and answers. "Everybody is working for the party, infighting and similar other words were used in the last 5-7 days. Party workers have come with a lot of hope and expectations, they do not want it should go on further and I also do not want it to go on further… I have also told party men no more questions and answers now. It is enough. Now work is to be done. We have not come here to fight with each other, we are here to remove corruption," he told reporters in Panchkula."A lot of things have happened in the last few days. I have requested all party workers that whatever happens, do not lose faith and hope in the party and its idea," he added.Yadav was in Panchkula for the party's 'Jai Kisan Abhiyan' which was launched in February against the BJP government in the state and the Centre to oppose "anti-farmer" policies of the party.
