Arvind Kejriwal left for a 10-day naturopathy treatment in Bangalore on Thursday, a day after he displayed his complete control over the Aam Aadmi Party by removing two top leaders from the party's highest decision making body.
"Last time when he came for his treatment, he didn't have chronic cough problem. He had diabetes," Kejriwal's doctor in Bangalore, Dr Babina Nand Kumar, said. "So as yet, I can't come to any conclusion about the problem. He might need detoxification first," she added.
The 46-year-old Delhi Chief Minister will be treated for high blood sugar and coughing at a clinic in Bangalore. He had skipped a meeting of the AAP National Executive on Wednesday, which removed Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan from the party's Political Affairs Committee by a 11-8 vote.
Party spokesperson Kumar Vishwas made the announcement after a nearly six-hour meeting of the National Executive that followed a virtual war between the two leaders and Kejriwal loyalists. "The National Executive passed a resolution and it has been decided that Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav will not serve the PAC any more. They will be given new responsibilities in the party," he said.
Bhushan, a senior Supreme Court lawyer, has been made the head of its legal cell. Yadav, who has been offered Maharashtra national convener post, said he will work as a disciplined worker. Arvind Kejriwal's resignation as the Aam Aadmi Party's national convener was also rejected at the meeting.
The differences in the top party leadership came out in the open barely a month after it made a sensational electoral comeback, sweeping 67 of the 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly.
