However AAP's spokesperson Ashutosh terms this rift as clash of ideas and not personalities, thus acknowledging that there is a rift.

Churning in AAP is not a clash of personalities but of ideas. This will make way for future politics of AAP. This is my personal view.ashutosh (@ashutosh83B) March 2, 2015

As per the National Executive members of AAP there were at least five attempts by Yogendra Yadav when he allegedly tried to spread wrong information about Kejriwal to damage his image since the last Assembly elections when Kejriwal had formed the government in Delhi.

As this news came out in the open, the AAP supporters expressed their disappointment and extended their support to the party.

AAP's founder member Admiral Ramdass in his open letter to Arvind Kejriwal raised several points from post convener, participation of women to inner party democracy in AAP.
