Ashutosh hints at BJP link to ‘Swaraj Samvaad’ meeting
9 April 2015 4:53 AM IST
Senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Ashutosh on Tuesday, alleged that the Swaraj Samvaad meeting, organised by the party rebel members, has BJP’s involvement.
He said that he had received a text invitation to Swaraj Samvaad, from Ashwani Upadhyay, Delhi BJP leader.
“On Monday, I got a message from Prashant Bhushan, Professor Anand Kumar and Ajit Jha, inviting members to join the Swaraj Samvaad meeting on April 14. But when I read it closely, I found it to be written by Ashwini Upadhyay. I was a little stunned and surprised. If Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav wanted to organise a meeting, why would the message come from BJP?” questioned Ashutosh.
“Ashwini Upadhyay was thrown out of the AAP for indiscipline. Later, he joined BJP and became a spokesperson. So if a BJP spokesperson is sending such an invite, it creates necessary suspicion. Is it a deliberate ploy; is it a conspiracy or is it some trick?” he added.
Following their expulsion from the National Executive on March 28, Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav, Anand Kumar and Ajit Jha have convened a meeting on April 14 to discuss the future course of action, amid speculations that they might float a new political party.
