RPI chief Ramdas Athawale invites AAP dissidents Yogendra Yadav, Prashant Bhushan to join his party

MUMBAI: Terming the ouster of Aam Aadmi Party's founding members Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav from AAP's national executive as "unjust", Republican Party of India (A) chief Ramdas Athawale on Sunday invited the duo to join his party.

"Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav had a key role to play in the magnificent victory of Aam Aadmi Party in the Delhi assembly polls. Removing them from the party's national executive is an injustice to them. I invite them to come and be a part of the RPI," Athawale told reporters here.


The RPI is founded on the principles of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, and thus, is a party of the common man, the Rajya Sabha MP said.


Bhushan and Yadav were removed from AAP's national executive on Saturday for their 'anti-party activities', a decision termed as a "murder of democracy" by them.
