Arvind Kejriwal gets into damage control after bitter infighting

New Delhi: With Aam Aadmi Party mired in bitter infighting, party chief Arvind Kejriwal today attempted to reach out to the dissidents, saying Yogendra Yadav had raised important issues which needed to be sorted out.

The fledgling party had made a stunning debut in the Delhi Assembly polls in December by winning 28 out of 70 seats and even formed a government.

But Kejriwal quit as Chief Minister after 49 days on the issue of Janlokpal Bill.  The party fought the Lok Sabha elections but could not win a single seat in the capital following which Kejriwal and his close associates have come under attack.  

The AAP leader has also drawn flak after failed attempt to form government again and his initial refusal to submit a bond in a defamation case filed against him by BJP leader Nitin Gadkari, which led to his going to jail.
