Prasanth Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav about their returning to AAP

Aam Admi Party (AAP) leader Kumar Vishwas on Sunday said the party was holding discussions with those who left the party, including Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav, to facilitate their return to the party fold.

Swaraj India founders Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav said on Monday there was no such possibility.

Bhushan retweeted a media report that quoted Aam Aadmi Party leader Kumar Vishwas as saying so and dubbed it as “absurd”.

“There are no talks or possibility of our returning to AAP, which has betrayed all the ideals of the anti-corruption movement,” Bhushan tweeted.

Yadav took to Twitter and said he was “surprised” on reading what Vishwas had said a day before.

“Really? Must be very secret, since both of us have not heard about it! In my knowledge, there is no possibility of this happening,” he said in a series of tweets.

Yadav and Bhushan were sacked from the AAP in March 2015 for alleged anti-party activities. They had hit out at AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal over his “supremo style of functioning” and lack of transparency in the party.

In October 2016, the two launched a new political outfit Swaraj India.
