Rift in AAP: Who stands where

NEW DELHI: Serious differences have erupted in Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) over the party's future growth strategy and the functioning of its central leadership headed by Arvind Kejriwal. Though, leaders are calling it a clash of ideas and not personalties, the party looks divided between pro-Kejriwal and anti-Kejriwal camps. Here is a list of prominent leaders who stand where in this internal tussle in AAP:

Anti-Kejriwal camp:

Prashant Bhushan: Prashant Bhushan was not happy with the selection of candidates during the Delhi assembly elections. Prashant Bhushan is against the person-centric and growing high command culture in AAP. He said on Tuesday "I can't follow the high command culture that every political party has". Prashant Bhushan admitted that there had been a breakdown in communication between him and party convener Arvind Kejriwal.

Shanti Bhushan: Shanti Bhushan, a founder member of AAP, had donated Rs 1 crore during the formation of party.
