According to a report published in a leading daily, Yogendra Yadav had given an off-record interview with 3-4 journalists where he was critical of party's decision of not contesting elections in Haryana. The interview was reportedly has taken on August 29 last year. When Kejriwal's close aide Bibhav Kumar called up the journalist, who published a critical article on AAP’s tactics, he got to know that the scribe got information from Yogendra Yadav.

Other senior member of the party Prashant Bhushan said that party supremes have taken other path against AAP’s core ideology to gain in elections. And he ruled out the comments made by spokesperson Sanjay Singh on Monday that he and Yogendra Yadav are looking to unseat Kejriwal from the top post of AAP. Bhushan said his words have got misinterpreted and communication gap widened the lacunae.

Kejriwal had reportedly tendered his resignation in the National Executive meeting held last week. The situation emerged in party after Bhushan, in a letter to the national executive last week, said that the "one person-centric" campaign was making the party look like other parties and called for more "swaraj" within the organisation.
