Sources said Kejriwal accused the two of working for the party's defeat, stopping people from donating funds to it and threatening to discredit and tarnish the party's image.
He is reported to have accused Bhushan and Yadav of backstabbing him. "Meri peeth mein chura bhonka in logon ne," he said, contrasting this with what he described as his blind faith in Bhushan by recalling the time when he had ended up in prison.
As it happened: AAP's national council meet
"In May, soon after the Lok Sabha elections, I was appearing in court for a defamation case. When the court asked me to furnish a bond, I looked at Prashant who silently shook his head. Without giving a second's thought to the repercussions, I refused to pay the bond. This is the kind of faith I had in him," he said in an emotional outburst. The AAP chief spent 15 days in prison and was able to get out only after he had paid the bail bond.
He added that some people worked to win while others worked to lose, and only those who are for winning should side with him. "Kuch haar ki rajneeti karte hain, kuch jeet ki. Jo jeet ki rajneeti karna chahte hain, woh hamare saath rahe," he reportedly said.

Kejriwal's speech attacking the two rebel leaders was peppered with rhetoric like "Kyon sahi bol raha hoon na?" (Am I right?) which led to cheers and sloganeering in his favour as if it was a public meeting. Pandering to the crowd, Kejriwal said he was ready to resign and asked the members to choose between him and Bhushan-Yadav.

He narrated the story of two women who were fighting over a child. The women took the child to the King and asked him to decide who the mother was.
"The king thought over it and said the child should be cut into two and each woman should keep one half. Hearing this, the real mother said that the other woman could keep the child. "I have given my sweat and blood in creating this party and will not allow its break-up," he reportedly said.
In his 40-minute speech, Kejriwal played the emotional card well, saying it had become impossible for him to work for the party while Yadav and Bhushan remained members of the national executive. "Either you get rid of them or free me from all the four posts of the party," he was quoted as having said.
Special: AAP crisis
"Though Kejriwal showed his displeasure and initially wanted only Bhushan and Yadav to be removed (from the NE), when he left and the final proposal was drafted, the names of Anand Kumar and Ajit Jha were added," revealed another member, who said he had voted for the ouster of all four.
