Crisis in AAP after Kejriwal’s apology to Majithia
ONI Bureau: There is a huge crisis in the Aam Aadmi Party after Arvind Kejriwal issued an unconditional apology to former Punjab Minister and Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia to get relief in defamation suit.
Kejriwal, who had accused Majithia of being involved in drug racket, apologised saying the allegations levelled against him were unfounded. Soon after Kejriwal’s apology, MLAs and AAP leaders expressed huge resentment. Senior leader Bhagwant Mann resigned as the Punjab Unit President.
Here are some reactions on Social Media:
A huge credibility crisis for @ArvindKejriwal. The most shocking part is he did not consult his colleagues in Punjab. https://t.co/GB8v5Oc65f
