NEW DELHI: Senior advocate and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader HS Phoolka on Tuesday lashed out at Yogendra Yadav, accusing him working for his defeat in the Lok Sabha polls.

Phoolka said he even contemplated to quit from the party, but was persuaded by Arvind Kejriwal to continue. He alleged that Yadav saw him as a threat in the party as far as Punjab was concerned and did not allow him to speak to the press or canvass for the party during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

“I had almost decided to quit the party before the Lok Sabha elections in February 2014, because Yogendra Yadav had directed me not to go to Punjab and not to speak to the press. For over a month, I was made to sit idle. I think Yadav wanted total control over the party in Punjab and envisaged me as a threat.”

“I sent an SMS to Kejriwal that I am disillusioned. Kejriwal persuaded me to continue. When Sanjay Singh announced my ticket from Ludhiana, Yadav was furious. Yadav constituted a campaign committee for Punjab, most of whom worked against me during elections to ensure that I do not win,” Phoolka said on his post on Facebook.
