After Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav's letter pointing out different 'structural issues' in AAP came into public domain, crisis in the two-year old party seems to have precipitated.
With AAP clearly divided in two camps, party leaders are openly giving statement against each other.
Former AAP leader and currently part of BJP, Shazia Illmi has slammed Arvind Kejriwal. According to her, dictatorship of Kejriwal camp is currently on display. She alleges that Yogendra Yadav is being sidelined for asking questions. Accordingly to her, there is lack of internal democracy in the party.

Did Ashutosh take a jibe on Prashant Bhushan here?
The decisive churning in AAP. It's clash of ideas between ultra left who demand referendum in Kashmir and pragmatic politics of welfarism.

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.

Indian politics has moved on. New politics is emerging and asserting. Something new, something beautiful will take shape.

In a letter which was exclusively accessed by dna, Prashant Bhushan slammed the top AAP leadership on several issues.
Bhushan’s letter severely indicted the party on multiple counts. He warned it of becoming “just another one man centric party, which is prepared to use any kind of means to attain power”. Kejriwal’s growing cult of personality has been a cause of concern and Bhushan makes it a point to credit the volunteers of the party for the win. He also writes that Delhi win is, “ the result of the dissatisfaction with the present BJP government which is now increasingly being seen as anti people".
From lack of transparency regarding funding, non functioning of National Executive and unfairly sacking dissidents, Bhushan' s later attacks Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on several counts.
