TIL Desk/National/Chandigarh-Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party is staring at a possible split in Punjab perilously close to assembly elections after it sacked its Punjab chief Sucha Singh Chotepur over allegations of corruption. Mr Chhotepur, who has accused Mr Kejriwal of being “anti-Sikh,” has hit back.
Six of AAP’s 12 zonal heads in Punjab have issued an ultimatum to Delhi Chief Minister and AAP boss Mr Kejriwal that Mr Chhotepur must be reinstated. They have also sought the removal of two top leaders Sanjay Singh and Durgesh Pathak from AAP’s Punjab affairs and want action against 21 state leaders who had signed a petition seeking the sacking of Mr Chhotepur.
Sucha Singh Chhotepur, 66, a veteran Punjab politician and former state minister was removed by AAP on Friday after a meeting in Delhi. AAP says it has a video that allegedly shows Mr Chhotepur taking bribe to assign a constituency to a party candidate for the Punjab elections.
