New Delhi: Even as the rift within the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is becoming evident with each passing day, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal took to Twitter on Tuesday and said that he refuses to be drawn into “this ugly battle”.
The AAP chief said that he is deeply “hurt” and “pained” by the recent developments in the party and that it “is betrayal of trust that Delhi posed in us”.
Kejriwal further said that he will concentrate only on Delhi's governance.
“I am deeply hurt and pained by what is going on in the party. This is betrayal of trust that Delhi posed in us(1/2),” he tweeted.
“I refuse to be drawn in this ugly battle.Will concentrate only on Delhi's governance.जनता के भरोसे को किसी भी हालत में टूटने नहीं दूंगा(2/2)”, he tweeted.

Kejriwal's tweet comes after his close aides released a recorded conversation with a journalist who wrote about party's affairs and even held a meeting with the AAP leader Yogendra Yadav.
The differences within the party surfaced after senior AAP leaders Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan wrote a letter on Feb 26 against the manner in which the party is being run by Kejriwal.
In the letter, Bhushan had alleged that the AAP was turning into a 'one-man party'.
AAP leader Ashutosh also later took to Twitter to confirm the rift within the party.
He tweeted, “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.”
