The internal
lokpal appointed by the AAP, Admiral Ramdas has raised concerns over party’s
functioning, asking some uncomfortable questions to the leadership. In a
letter, shot off to the national executive on February 26, he asked should
party chief Arvind Kejriwal be allowed to continue on party position after
becoming the Chief Minister of Delhi?
He also raised
concerns over rising factionalism within party ranks.“During the past six to
eight months there has been an abject breakdown in communications and mutual
trust amongst the topmost leadership of the party. This has in my view led to
the growth of two camps within the party and loose talk about conspiracies,” he
wrote. He also stressed on the proportionate representation of women in the
party.

Aam Aadmi Party
(AAP) founding members Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav are likely to either
resign from the party or assume non-active roles, sources said. The differences
between Kejriwal and Bhushan and Yadav have been out in the open for quite some
time now. While Yadav tried to quit the PAC after the AAP’s Lok Sabha elections
debacle, Bhushan had differences with Kejriwal over candidate selection.
In a letter
written to Kejriwal in June, which was leaked to the media, Yadav had flayed
Kejriwal’s dictatorial attitude. The party and Kejriwal had convinced Yadav to
stay on at that time.

Chief minister
Arvind Kejriwal's vision to provide free Wi-Fi across Delhi will take at least
a year to materialize. He said even his children are keen to use free Wi-Fi but
setting up the system is not easy. "It will take at least one year for the
government to provide free Wi-Fi," he said.
While modalities
for providing Wi-Fi are being worked out, sources say it will not be an
unlimited free service. AAP members say free Wi-Fi may be provided to each user
for, perhaps, half an hour in a day with restrictions on downloading.

Aam Aadmi Party
(AAP) is always abuzz with controversy, and they did it again by denying entry
to journalists into Delhi Secretariat on the first working day of their
government. And in retaliation, national media boycotted the press conference
of Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.
But the moot
point about the incident are the reasons why the AAP, who likes to be in
limelight through media and social media when they were out of power, restrict
journalists to enter Secretariat. The action contradicts the AAP which was
craving to have transparency in government's working and policies, promised of
installation of 10 lakh CCTV cameras in City in its election manifesto.
