The fate of Vishwas with AAP will be decided today. AAP Chief Kejriwal hoped that everything would be alright but Vishwas who is getting support from all quarters will take a decision today it is reported.
Kumar Vishwas defied his boss and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s gag order to remind him on Tuesday that the Aam Aadmi Party began as a movement at his home with just three people – Mr Kejriwal, his deputy Manish Sisodia and Mr Vishwas.
The 46-year-old AAP leader stood outside his home, teary-eyed, as he said he “will take a decision tonight.” On Tuesday night, Arvind Kejriwal along with his deputy Manish Sisodia met Mr Vishwas, who is expected to announce today whether he will stay on in AAP or quit.
“Kumar Vishwas is inherent part of our movement…he is upset, but I’m hopeful that we will be able to convince him,” Mr Kejriwal said after meeting at his Ghaziabad home yesterday.
Rumours about Mr Vishwas’ growing proximity to the BJP have swirled ever since he had praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi a few years ago. He has earlier denied any plan to join to the BJP. On Tuesday he brought up his praise of PM Modi, saying he felt no need to apologise for it.
Kumar Vishwas, a popular Hindi poet and satirist with a mass following, was accused this week of plotting a coup to overthrow Mr Kejriwal as AAP chief. A Delhi legislator Amanatullah Khan also alleged that if he failed in his takeover bid, Mr Vishwas planned to join the BJP taking with him several AAP legislators.
