New Delhi: A day after high voltage drama unfolded in Aam Aadmi Party's National Executive meet, a video showing Arvind Kejriwal's speech at the meeting was released by the party on Sunday.
Around 45 minutes long video shows Kejriwal accusing dissidents Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan of conspiring against the party.
“Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav threatened us that they will hold press conference before Delhi polls and destroy the party. They were being convinced by the senior members to not defame the party as it is going to witness a historic win. This has been going for the past one year,” Kejriwal said in the video.
Here's the video:

A resolution to remove the two dissident leaders along with their supporters Anand Kumar and Ajit Jha from the powerful panel was passed at the National Council with 247 members supporting it.
10 members opposed it while 54 others did not take part in the voting, AAP National Secretary Pankaj Gupta said.
After the meeting, Yadav and Bhushan accused Kejriwal of using unfair means including bringing goons at the meeting who allegedly beat up a number of National Council members opposed to the resolution.
"It was a murder of democracy. Everything played out in accordance with a predetermined script and the resolution was moved and passed within minutes completely disregarding laid down procedures. It was a total farce," said an agitated Yadav.
Bhushan alleged Kejriwal came fully prepared to "kick us out" from the party and that a number of NC members, who supported him, and Yadav were injured.
