Aam Aadmi Sena out for Kejriwal and his men
It's not the first time that the Sena volunteers have attacked Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal or his Cabinet ministers. Previously, party MLA Somnath Bharti was defaced with ink by a worker of Aam Aadmi Sena holding him responsible for the public suicide of farmer Gajender Singh at Jantar Mantar in April 2015.
The Aam Aadmi Sena has emerged an arch nemesis of AAP, choosing to vent its ire on the latter in most bitter ways.
It's not the first time that the Sena volunteers have attacked Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal or his Cabinet ministers. Previously, party MLA Somnath Bharti was defaced with ink by a worker of Aam Aadmi Sena holding him responsible for the public suicide of farmer Gajender Singh at Jantar Mantar in April 2015.
Aam Aadmi Sena is a dissident faction of former workers of Aam Aadmi Party, based in Punjab. Prabhat Kumar claims to be the president while one Vishal Khosla is the national vice president of the party. A woman who earlier threw ink at CM Arvind Kejriwal at the Chhatrasal stadium, Bhavna Arora, leads its Mahila Morcha units, it is said.
Aam Aadmi Sena was reportedly formed after AAP members grew dissatisfied with the ruling tactics of Arvind Kejriwal. Amongst the complaints made by members of Aam Aadmi Sena against AAP include the charges that AAP are tolerating corruption and that they are trying to divide Hindus and Muslims.
In the time leading up to the December 2014 elections in New Delhi, members of Aam Aadmi Sena raised questions about AAP's fundraising efforts in Dubai. In February 2014, members of the Sena protested outside CM Kejriwal's residence after he had resigned from the CM's post only after serving 49 days in office.
Amongst the complaints made by members of Aam Aadmi Sena included the accusation that Kejriwal took no action to deal with issues facing Delhi residents.
In May 2014, a large group of activists from Aam Aadmi Sena marched through Delhi in a demonstration against the Delhi government and against Arvind Kejriwal in particular, over failure to provide services, including the deployment of marshals on DTC buses. Later in the month, group members protested against Kejriwal outside the Delhi High Court during proceedings related to court orders seeking to place Kejriwal into custody.
