Yogendra Yadav axed as AAP chief spokesperson

In a late night move Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal removed dissident leader Yogendra Yadav as the party’s chief spokesperson on Tuesday. The party also announced a panel of 20 spokespersons. The decision to remove Yadav from the post was an expected one following his removal along with Prashant Bhushan from the party's Political Affairs Committee and National Executive. Interestingly, Yadav was the only leader who had been designated as chief spokesperson when AAP constituted the panel of its spokespersons.

On Sunday AAP's internal Lokpal Admiral (retd) L. Ramdas was also shown the door for airing critical views about the party leadership. He was replaced by a three-member Lokpal panel comprising two former IPS officers and one educationist.
