Dissident AAP leaders Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav today maintained suspense over their future plans but did not rule out forming a political party after taking views of volunteers and well-wishers supporting them.

Wrathful over the way Kejriwal was running the party, Bhushan said he and Yadav will have detailed discussions with their supporters from across the country at a meeting on April 14 which has been convened to channelise the positive energy of those AAP members who "felt betrayed" by the current leadership.

"It need not be a political party. But it could also be a political party depending upon what they want and what happens. My personal opinion is that we should right now concentrate on issues and movements rather than forming a political party," Bhushan said.

The lawyer, who had joined hands with Kejriwal over 10 years back during the RTI movement, said he felt "very sad" at the way he and Yadav were removed. Expressing regret over supporting Kejriwal, Bhushan said the way the National Council meeting on March 28 was conducted was "unpardonable".

Bhushan claimed that Kejriwal was very desperate to capture power in Delhi after the Lok Sabha poll debacle and continued his efforts just before dissolution of the Delhi Assembly in November last year.
