Kumar Vishwas attended a meeting of top Aam Aadmi Party leaders this morning and emerged from to say he is not quitting the party. The senior AAP leader’s key demand of stronger action against a Delhi legislator who accused him of plotting a coup against party chief Arvind Kejriwal, has been met, said Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.
Mr Vishwas and Mr Sisodia made short speeches to confirm that the latest crisis to hit AAP – which is reeling from three election defeats including the drubbing in the Delhi civic polls last week – has blown over. “We needed talks, that is happening,” said Mr Vishwas, thanking “all who stood by me.”
Mr Sisodia said Amanatullah Khan, who made allegations against Mr Vishwas earlier this week has been suspended. Also, Mr Sisodia said, Mr Vishwas has been handed charge of building the party cadre in Rajasthan ahead of assembly elections next year.
Though Kumar Vishwas, a popular Hindi poet and satirist, is a founder member of AAP he has held no top party posts and has only been responsible for overseas funding so far.
